random - generate random numbers with in the set limits.
pandas - Dataframe utility.

Installation Instructions:

pip install journey-orchestrate

Example

| ID | Timestamp | Channel |
|-----:|:--------------------|:------------|
| 1 | 2024-11-18 08:00:00 | email |
| 1 | 2024-11-18 09:00:00 | sms |
| 3 | 2024-11-18 10:00:00 | app |
| 3 | 2024-11-18 11:00:00 | email |
| 5 | 2024-11-18 12:00:00 | sms |
| 5 | 2024-11-18 15:00:00 | direct mail |

For a customer journey involving multiple marketing channels through which messages were delivered, we can orchestrate and stitch together the individual journey paths for each customer, providing a cohesive view of their interactions across all touchpoints.

How to use it : There are two main functions of this framework.

1. customer_journey_orchestrate(data, ID, datetime,channel,join_string ,n_partitions)

• This is the main functionionility for customer journey orchestration . 1st parameter - dataframe where the customer touch point exists.
  2nd parameter - ID on which data should be grouped.
  3rd parameter - timestamp on which we should start.
  4th parameter - column on which customer journey should be orchestrated . eg: Email, Directmail, Paid display, social media, etc.
  5th parameter - Join string. for eg: '>','|',etc. if nothing is given, default is '>'.
  6th parameter - number of partitions in which dask would operate the data for sorting.
  

2. generate_random_data(n,nc,startdt, enddt,channel_lst,random_seed)

• This would generate sample dataset to test the customer journey orchestrate function

  1st parameter - Number of rows to generate.
  2nd parameter - Number of unique IDs you want in the dataset 3rd parameter - Start date.
  4th parameter - End date.
  5th parameter - Unique Channel list : eg:['EM','SMC','PD','PS'].
  6th parameter - random_seed.
  

How to test the package with out data ?

Step1 - Run with "generate_random_data" by passing appropriate values

eg: df_example = generate_random_data(1000,30,"2023-01-01",'2024-10-01',['EM','Direct Mail','Paid Display','Search'],230).

Step2 - Run the orchestrator function customer_journey_orchestrate(data, ID, datetime,channel,join_string ,n_partitions)

eg: customer_journey_orchestrate(df_example, 'ID', 'time','channel','>' ,2)
