Velvet Underground, a company that manufactures professional grade
recording equipment and mixing boards. By the end of their third year,
2017, TVU had already turned a $150,000 profit. At that time, Lou
used analytics to estimate promising sales of a new device TVU
planned to sell. Unfortunately, the new device did not live up to
expected potential.
At the end of the following year, 2018, Lou was tasked with using
analytics to figure out why the device did not sell well, and how those
sales might be improved. Fortunately, in 2019, sales of the device
increased, along with all of the company's other products.
Each time Lou utilized analytics, he had to access a number of
