Data Quality Measures

Validation Rules

# Sales record validation
class SalesRecordValidator:
    def validate(self, record: dict) -> tuple[bool, list[str]]:
        errors = []

        # Required fields
        if not record.get('sale_date'):
            errors.append("sale_date is required")
        if not record.get('product_id'):
            errors.append("product_id is required")
        if not record.get('quantity') or record['quantity'] <= 0:
            errors.append("quantity must be positive")
        if not record.get('unit_price') or record['unit_price'] < 0:
            errors.append("unit_price cannot be negative")

        # Business logic validation
        if record.get('discount_amount', 0) > record.get('total_amount', 0):
            errors.append("discount cannot exceed total amount")

        # Date validation
        if record.get('sale_date'):
            sale_date = parse_date(record['sale_date'])
            if sale_date > datetime.now().date():
                errors.append("sale_date cannot be in the future")

        return len(errors) == 0, errors

Duplicate Detection

def detect_duplicates(tenant_id: str, records: list[dict]) -> list[dict]:
    """Find potential duplicate sales records"""

    duplicates = []
    for record in records:
        existing = db.query(SalesData).filter(
            SalesData.tenant_id == tenant_id,
            SalesData.product_id == record['product_id'],
            SalesData.sale_timestamp.between(
                record['sale_timestamp'] - timedelta(minutes=5),
                record['sale_timestamp'] + timedelta(minutes=5)
            ),
            SalesData.quantity == record['quantity'],
            SalesData.total_amount == record['total_amount']
        ).first()

        if existing:
            duplicates.append({
                'new_record': record,
                'existing_record_id': existing.id,
                'match_confidence': calculate_match_confidence(record, existing)
            })

    return duplicates

Security Measures

Data Protection

• Tenant Isolation - All sales data scoped to tenant_id
• Input Validation - Pydantic schemas for all inputs
• SQL Injection Prevention - Parameterized queries
• File Upload Security - Virus scanning, size limits, type validation
• Soft Deletes - Preserve data for audit trail

Access Control

• Authentication Required - JWT tokens for all endpoints
• Role-Based Access - Different permissions for owner/manager/staff
• Audit Logging - Track all data modifications
• GDPR Compliance - Customer data anonymization and export

Performance Optimization

Database Optimization

1. Indexes - Optimized indexes on tenant_id, sale_date, product_id
2. Partitioning - Table partitioning by year for large datasets
3. Batch Inserts - Insert 1000 rows per transaction during imports
4. Connection Pooling - Reuse database connections
5. Query Optimization - Materialized views for common analytics

Import Performance

# Batch import optimization
async def bulk_import_sales(records: list[dict], batch_size: int = 1000):
    """Optimized bulk import with batching"""

    total_records = len(records)
    for i in range(0, total_records, batch_size):
        batch = records[i:i + batch_size]

        # Prepare batch for bulk insert
        sales_objects = [SalesData(**record) for record in batch]

        # Bulk insert
        db.bulk_save_objects(sales_objects)
        await db.commit()

        # Update progress
        progress = (i + len(batch)) / total_records * 100
        await update_import_progress(job_id, progress)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Import fails with "File too large" error

• Cause: File exceeds MAX_IMPORT_FILE_SIZE_MB
• Solution: Split file into smaller chunks or increase limit

Issue: Duplicate records detected

• Cause: Re-importing same data or POS sync issues
• Solution: Enable duplicate detection or manual review

Issue: Slow analytics queries

• Cause: Large dataset without proper indexes
• Solution: Add indexes, enable caching, or use materialized views

Issue: Missing sales data

• Cause: POS integration not working
• Solution: Check POS service logs and webhook configuration

Competitive Advantages

1. Bulk Import - Easy migration from existing systems
2. Multi-Channel Support - Unified view across POS, online, manual
3. Real-Time Analytics - Instant insights vs. batch processing
4. Data Quality - Automated validation and cleaning
5. ML-Ready Data - Structured data perfect for forecasting
6. Spanish Market - Euro currency, Spanish date formats
7. GDPR Compliant - Built-in compliance features
