Pharmaceutical Sales Prediction

A pharmaceutical store wants to forecast sales in all their stores across several cities six weeks ahead of time. As a ML engineer, my focus was to build and serve an end-to-end product that delivers this prediction to analysts in the finance team. I also highlighted the important features like promo that impact the number of sales.
