Gut feeling is good, but data is better. Ethiopian businesses are sitting on goldmines of data—sales records, customer logs—that are often ignored.
Understanding the Customer
By analyzing purchase patterns, you can predict what stock to order. For example, knowing that "Teff" sales spike on Thursdays helps you prepare your inventory efficiently.
Visualizing Success
Tools like PowerBI and Tableau, or even advanced Excel dashboards, can turn rows of confusing numbers into clear charts that show exactly where your profit is coming from.
