The system’s recommendation engine leverages user characteristics and seasonal factors to provide tailored product suggestions, aiming to increase user engagement and retention. Key features of the platform include a user-centric interface, detailed product listings, search and filtering options, and a powerful admin dashboard. This paper explores the design and implementation of this recommendation engine, detailing its architecture, data processing methodologies, and performance evaluations. Through this research, we propose an adaptive e-commerce solution that addresses both user-specific and temporal trends, making the platform suitable for businesses of various scales, from local shops to large retail chains.
