12. Big Data - trendsLorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit
The project aimed at developing a complex analytical tool for a shop operating
on an auction platform among 330 000 users. The tool is intended to predict
the market demand and specify the sales and buying-in prices. The key data
are that the shop frequently exchanges new goods for used goods as a
means of transaction settlement.
Project Goal
• Prediction of sales and buying-in prices
• Specifying a goods purchase limit and predicting the volume
• Predicting the market volume and the competition intensity

13. Big data - trendsUsers’ preferences to be taken into account
This trend and therefore this factor has
a substantial influence on the prognoses
as the community independently
appraises the value of the products
Exchange with extra
payment
It is a crucial factor due to the need to
estimate the number of users who prefer
to buy or exchange second-hand
products quickly and thus to estimate
the supply volume and the price of
second-hand products for the remaining
users of the portal
Selling second-hand
Some portal users use its functionalities
to buy a new product. This phenomenon
is of particular nature and periodicity
which is dependent on publishers’
decisions and their marketing activities,
irrespectively of the portal operator
Buying new
In principle, the portal users exchange
goods in one to one model. This group
of users competes with those for
whom selling on the portal is the main
goal

Control of costs and revenues is essential in each and every company. Numerous large
companies register hundreds or even thousands of invoices monthly, be it for costs or
revenues.
Frequently, the accounting systems used render it difficult to view an indispensable
summary enabling the assessment of the profitability for particular projects.
The use of excel connected to the database of a chosen accounting system opens up
new possibilities for the management board in the scope of costs analysis and control of
expenditure.

Monitoring and analysing employees’ work
It’s really the people who make a company what it actually is and they are the true driving force
of its success. That is why employing the right persons with appropriate skills is so important,
and so is their work performance analysis.

employees as well as whole teams.
The project consisted in developing a system to analyse the employees’ work performance. It
was intended to assess their effectiveness when performing particular tasks and to predict
possible staff shortage.
The undertaking aimed at devising a tool to analyse the time of preforming given tasks by
employees, unexploited potential of the employees and staff shortage in particular tasks.

Statistical Report
Each internet portal which undertakes advertising activities and wishes to be
competitive, must have at its disposal a system for detailed analysis of its users.
Moreover, inquiries made by potential clients must be handled promptly and accurately.
A vast majority of portals uses data offered by Google Analytics.
A set of Dashboards was developed to connect to Google Analytics API and acquire
information which is not generally available from Google Analytics.
Dashboards additionally serve as calculators and data presentations for potential
clients.

The project consisted in developing a business plan for an investment project which was to be

The undertaking aimed at devising a mobile application using a car’s OBD 2 and launch it in
international market.
One of the substantial assumptions of the project was to use cloud architecture, the cost of
which could significantly influence the margin.
It was moreover crucial to ensure the possibility to run business simulations which would take
into account the following:
• Development delays and MVP
• Dividing the investment into stages
• Currency exchange rates and all costs
