CRM Ticket Data Processing and Analytics System

Project Overview

Business Context

Business Challenges

• Raw ticket data from Salesforce in JSON format is not analysis-ready
• Inconsistent data formats (e.g., varying date formats)
• Manual data processing required for dashboard updates
• Data quality issues affecting decision-making

Project Objectives

• Automate JSON to structured data conversion
• Implement robust data cleaning and validation
• Establish automated data refresh mechanism
• Ensure data quality and consistency

System Architecture

1. Data Ingestion Layer

def export_salesforce_data():
    """
    Export ticket data from Salesforce API
    - Handles API authentication
    - Manages data pagination
    - Implements error handling
    - Records export metadata
    """

2. Data Processing Layer

JSON Parsing and Transformation

def process_json_data(json_file):
    """
    Transform JSON data into structured format
    - Extract key fields
    - Normalize data structure
    - Handle nested JSON
    - Convert to pandas DataFrame
    """

Data Cleaning

def clean_data(df):
    """
    Standardize and clean data
    - String normalization (trim, lowercase)
    - Date format standardization
    - Value mapping and standardization
    - Handle missing values
    """

Data Validation

def validate_data(df):
    """
    Ensure data quality and integrity
    - Required field validation
    - Data type verification
    - Value range checking
    - Business rule validation
    """

3. Data Output Layer

def export_to_csv(df, output_path):
    """
    Generate standardized output
    - Create timestamped filenames
    - Export to CSV format
    - Generate data quality reports
    - Implement version control
    """

4. Power BI Dashboard
