AI Model & Data Visualizations

In recent years, data visualizations gained prominence in businesses. Modern visualizations differ from the past because these are created on computers; when equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, they provide quantitative predictions used to make informed business decisions. Many large corporations rely on these tools, but there is a significant gap within small businesses as they are unable to leverage this powerful tool because of three limiting factors: time, money, and accessibility. Additionally, data visualization is an emerging field with the current body of research focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of data visualization and its incorporation into large corporations, presenting a gap in the literature regarding small businesses. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create an AI model utilizing data visualizations to help Pizza Restaurant X in the Sacramento area. This tool can be generalized to small pizza restaurants as the fundamental code will remain the same with only some data changing. Further, this research study will contribute to the current body of research by informing how small businesses can incorporate visualizations to make supply chain decisions.
