Inspiration

Big data analytics, machine learning, and AI contribute to the 4th industrial revolution and are very useful in helping us to gain insights into various industries.

In this project, we are leveraging machine learning and AI to understand the business networks through financial transactions using this dataset

Goals

  1. Spend forecasting for the business (agencies in our dataset) AND receivables forecasting for the vendors. Quantify how to spot business that is successful vs those that might have signs of problems

  2. Understand the connectedness of the network by identifying similar businesses (or agencies) and similar vendors. Define a clear metric for similarity. Apply that understanding to recommend vendors to business.

What it does

  • Provide insights to understand the business networks

How we built it

  • Data analytics using python

Challenges we ran into

Time crunch is a challenge. The data cleaning process took far longer than we have expected

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Half of us have no experience in data analytics/ joining datathon and this is our very first time in doing data analysis in a short period of time. We had so much fun!

What we learned

We learnt a lot about data science

What's next for Bill.com Challenge

  • complete both goals

  • complement with other datasets
