Project Description

DSCI 532 Individual Assignment - Group 2 Walmonitor in R

This R shiny dashboard application has been adpated from the python shiny dashboard application here, created from this repo.

The purpose of the dashboard is to provide meaningful sales metrics insight over time, to a Walmart Branch Manager overseeing sales performance for three Walmart locations. The design emphasis is on customizability by the user, rather than enforcing strict views of the data.
