 Introduction(1)
•The growth of international malls and online shopping has led to an
increase in the competition between them.

•The machine learning Algorithms is highly sophisticated and offers

opportunities for forecasting or forecast demand for any type of
organization in order to defeat low-cost prediction methods.

•A machine-learning algorithm may be extraordinarily effective when

applied to a particular problem.
 Introduction(2)
Machine Learning Allows software applications to become
more accurate at predicting outcomes without being explicitly
programmed to do so.
 Motivation
•In today’s world there is a huge competition between different companies.
•The main goal of each company is to get
- maximum customer satisfaction
- Boost the business
- maximum profit
•Traditional approach applied for sales improvement would be time consuming and would not
provide us with the expected results

•Therefore, to overcome this issue we propose the system which provides more benefit to the
company and that would ultimately increase it’s business

Proposed System
 Problem statement
• To develop a system for sales prediction of companies like Big Mart so that they can get maximum
customer satisfaction which would ultimately lead to growth of their business

•The system comprises of different functions provided to the sales person of a company so that he
can get predictions for increasing their revenue based on past records of customers . At backend the
Machine Learning activity are performed and predicted output is displayed to the user is the form of
result.

 1. Regression
1.1 Linear Regression
Linear regression is one of the easiest and most popular Machine Learning algorithms. It is a statistical method that is
used for predictive analysis. Linear regression makes predictions for continuous/real or numeric variables such as
sales, salary, age, product price, etc.

X VALUES:
1. Item_Weight
2. Item_Fat_Content
3. Item_Visibility
4. Item_Type Item_MRP
5. Outlet_Size
6. Outlet_Location_Type
7. Outlet_Type

Y VALUES:
SALES OF ITEM
 1.Regression
1.2. Random Forest Regression
Random Forest Regression is a supervised learning algorithm that uses ensemble learning method for
regression. Ensemble learning method is a technique that combines predictions from multiple machine
learning algorithms to make a more accurate prediction than a single model.

 2. Apriori Algorithm
Apriori algorithm refers to an algorithm that is used in mining frequent products sets and relevant
association rules. Generally, the apriori algorithm operates on a database containing a huge number of
transactions. For example, the items customers buy at a Big Bazar. Apriori algorithm helps the customers to
buy their products with ease and increases the sales performance of the particular store.

If a person will buy an item X like(Bread) then what are his chances of buying an item Y like(Butter)

 3. Hierarchical Clustering
The agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm is a popular example of HCA. To group the datasets into clusters, it follows the bottom-up
approach. It means, this algorithm considers each dataset as a single cluster at the beginning, and then start combining the closest pair of clusters
together. It does this until all the clusters are merged into a single cluster that contains all the datasets.
This hierarchy of clusters is represented in the form of the dendrogram

1. Based on customer interest they will be Segmented and further recommendation can be provide
2. Customers can be segmented as regular and non- regular customers

wherenisthenumber ofdatapoints.
 Advantages ,Limitations and
Applications
•Advantages:
Predicting future sales in supermarkets.
Customer behavioral prediction by company.
More economic profit.
Better management of stock investment.

•Limitations:
Limited to small supermarkets.
Proper dataset needed ,consisting of proper dependent and independent variables.

•Applications:
Useful for business to predict customer behavior from past transaction.
Future implementation in companies like Amazon, Flip-kart, Netflix.
 Conclusion

Every shopping mall needs to know customer demands in advance to avoid shortfalls
of sales items. By using Machine Learning approaches prediction of sales with respect
to Various factors helps Business to Adopt suitable strategies for increasing sales.
 Future Work
• Sales prediction is Complex yet essential component of business intelligence – like
purchasing and Budgeting.
• With stronger device storage and proper ram management devices it can hold data of
larger supermarkets and can hold data for a longer duration
• The projects implementation for big companies like Amazon ,Netflix, flipkart will be
possible.
