Enter DATA SWEEP, the AI-powered platform that transforms how organizations collect, analyze, and leverage datasets. This use case explores a real-world application of DATA SWEEP, showcasing how a global marketing research firm used it to help a consumer electronics brand launch its products in the USA with hyper-targeted campaigns. By unlocking richer customer insights, the firm boosted campaign ROI and set the brand up for long-term success in a competitive market.

Variables used in the use case:

1. Manufacturers' Finished Goods Inventories: Computers and Electronic Products
2. Manufacturers' Materials and Supplies Inventories: Computers and Electronic Products
3. Manufacturers' Total Inventories: Computers and Electronic Products
4. All Employees, Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing
5. All Employees, Electronics and Appliance Retailers
6. Personal consumption expenditures: Video and audio equipment, computers, and related services

Now, since we have downloaded the database, we can proceed with analyzing the data. The trend analysis of the three inventory components—Finished Goods, Materials & Supplies, and Total Inventories—reveals a steady upward trajectory from 2010 to 2023. However, a more pronounced increase is observed after 2020, suggesting potential supply chain disruptions or demand dynamics shifts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This period might reflect changes in production planning, supply chain constraints, or fluctuations in consumer demand.

Examining the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), the Finished Goods Inventory grew at an annualized rate of 3.04%. The Materials & Supplies Inventory saw the highest growth at 4.27%. Meanwhile, Total inventories expanded at a more modest 2.46% CAGR. The Materials & Supplies Inventory has grown faster than expected, which suggests that manufacturers may have been buying more, possibly to prepare for supply chain problems or to keep production levels stable.

The correlation analysis between these inventory components reveals strong positive relationships. The correlation between Finished Goods and Materials & Supplies stands at 0.90, while Finished Goods and Total Inventories are correlated at 0.89. The highest correlation (0.98) is between Materials & Supplies and Total Inventories, suggesting that fluctuations in raw materials directly impact overall inventory levels. This reinforces the notion that as manufacturers stockpile raw materials, it subsequently affects the finished goods output and total inventory levels.
