Retail power bi must connect data from every channel and location: POS transactions from 200 stores, e-commerce clickstreams from millions of sessions, inventory snapshots across warehouses and sales floors, and customer profiles spanning loyalty, service, and marketing interactions. PCI-DSS compliance governs payment data handling. Seasonal peaks (Black Friday, holiday) demand elastic infrastructure.
Power BI for retail dashboards — store performance scorecards (sales, traffic, conversion, UPT, ATV), category management reports (sell-through, margin, weeks of supply), customer analytics (CLV, frequency, basket analysis), and the mobile dashboards that district managers review daily.
