Abstract Sales analysis is required for supermarkets to understand the requirements of an increase the sales of product. Feature selection is an important process in sales analysis and this improves the performance of overall analysis. In further prediction of sales are mainly done based on traditional methods such as; data handling, human judgement, basic statical tools. In this system, sales data is analyzed using spreadsheets and simple regression techniques without the support of advanced machine learning algorithm. These methods only focus on recent sales trends and failed to utilize the maximum of historical data and multidimensional data as a result sales prediction is less accurate and cannot efficiently identifying complex relationships. To overcome these problems, we can use advanced machine learning algorithm that is XGBoost. This algorithm is selected because it gives high accuracy and handles big data efficiently. The XGBoost is applied with univariant and bivariant to analyze the future importance of the data set. The system is scalable and can be used for large data sets and multiple stores. It provides accurate and reliable sales predictions. The system can process data in real time for quick decision making, supports better business planning and profit improvement.
