Temple Analytics Challenge 2017
In the fall of 2017, I once again participated in the Temple Analytics Challenge, this time on the QVC Challenge track and with two fellow MIS students Cong Ngo and Tung Nguyen. We had to analyze 5 million rows of data of customer purchase patterns, product mix and distribution network to determine the effectiveness of the retailer QVC’s current e-commerce efforts. We then recommended product allocation strategies which optimize warehouse capacity, reduce shipping time, and increase customer penetration. As a result, our entry was placed 4th (Honorable Mention).
