Available Charts

Suger Analytics supports a wide variety of chart types, each offering different ways to represent your data. Below are the available chart types:

Area Chart

The Area Chart is perfect for visualizing trends in sales volume or revenue over time. In a marketplace context, you can use it to track monthly or quarterly sales performance, comparing different product categories or partners.

Use Case: Sales Over Time, displaying the cumulative sales of different marketplace products or offers over time to understand seasonality or growth pattern.

Bar Chart

The Bar Chart is useful for comparing sales data across different categories or products. It allows you to quickly identify top-performing items and underperforming ones.

Use Case: Sales by Product/Category, comparing the sales volume of different marketplace products, cloud partners (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), or sales regions.

Big Number

This chart is ideal for showcasing a single, significant metric. You can highlight the total revenue or sales for a specific time period or other vital KPIs.

Use Case: Key Marketplace Metrics, display the total marketplace revenue for a given month or the number of new marketplace entitlements sold.

Box Plot

A Box Plot is a statistical visualization used to display the distribution of a dataset, including key summary statistics like the median, quartiles, and outliers. It's particularly useful for understanding the spread and variation in data.

Use Case: Sales Volume Across Different Partners, in a marketplace where multiple partners (AWS, Azure, GCP) are selling products, a Box Plot can help you understand if the sales volume is consistent across partners or if some have periods of exceptionally high or low sales.

Bubble Chart

A Bubble Chart is a type of chart that uses bubbles to represent data points on a 2D plane. Each bubble’s position on the chart represents two variables, and its size represents a third variable. This allows you to visualize three dimensions of data at once.

A Bubble Chart is particularly useful when you want to visualize relationships between three variables (for example, sales performance, number of units sold, and customer engagement) in a marketplace setting.

Use Case: Sales by Product,

• X-axis: Represents the total units sold.
• Y-axis: Represents the average order value (or revenue per order).
• Bubble Size: Represents the total sales revenue for that product.
• Bubble Color: Represents different product categories (e.g., electronics, clothing, etc.).
