Database Setup

1. Create Supabase project at supabase.com
2. Copy connection string (use Session Pooler for reliability)
3. Execute schema: sql/schemas/01_supabase_schema.sql in Supabase SQL Editor
4. Generate sample data: python src/data_generator.py
5. Create ML features: Execute ML optimization queries in Supabase

Run Analytics Dashboard

# Launch interactive dashboard
streamlit run dashboard_working.py

# Train ML models (optional - for advanced features)
python -c "
from src.ml_models import CustomerChurnPredictor
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
connection = os.getenv('SUPABASE_DATABASE_URL')
model = CustomerChurnPredictor(connection)
results = model.train_model()
print('🤖 ML Model trained successfully!')

📈 Sample Analytics Queries

Customer Lifetime Value with ML Features

SELECT 
    customer_tier,
    COUNT(*) as customers,
    AVG(total_spent) as avg_clv,
    AVG(days_since_last_order) as avg_recency,
    AVG(orders_last_90_days) as recent_activity
FROM customer_ml_features
GROUP BY customer_tier
ORDER BY avg_clv DESC;

Advanced Product Performance with Predictions

WITH product_performance AS (
    SELECT 
        p.product_name,
        p.brand,
        SUM(oi.quantity) as units_sold,
        SUM(oi.line_total) as revenue,
        COUNT(DISTINCT o.customer_id) as unique_customers,
        AVG(oi.unit_price - p.unit_cost) as avg_profit_margin
    FROM products p
    JOIN order_items oi ON p.product_id = oi.product_id
    JOIN orders o ON oi.order_id = o.order_id
    WHERE o.order_status IN ('confirmed', 'shipped', 'delivered')
