Abstract In this research, a comprehensive, low-code automation framework is presented, specifically designed to address the operational challenges faced by small-scale cake shops. The system combines Power BI for real-time data visualization, advanced demand forecasting models, and AutomationEdge’s Robotic Process Automation (RPA) capabilities to optimize critical business processes such as billing, inventory management, customer interaction, and feedback handling.

A dataset of over 25,000 customer transactions recorded between 2020 and 2025 was analyzed to identify distinct buying behaviors. Based on frequency, spending patterns, and product preferences, four consumer types were recognized: Habitual Buyers, Variety-Seeking Consumers, Complex Custom Order Clients, and First-Time or Hesitant Buyers. Each category is automatically mapped to specific workflows designed to personalize engagement, improve service delivery, and streamline operations.

Forecasting of item demand was conducted using ARIMA time series models, achieving a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of approximately 12%. Additionally, VADER-based sentiment analysis was employed to monitor customer reviews and promptly respond to dissatisfaction, reducing response time significantly. Key performance indicators showed notable improvements: invoice accuracy increased to 99%, stockouts were reduced by 75%, and customer order fulfillment times improved by 30\%. Furthermore, a measurable 18% increase in repeat purchases was observed.

The entire framework leverages AutomationEdge’s hyperautomation platform, integrating AI, OCR, chatbots (CogniBot), and cloud-based RPA-as-a-Service (RPAaaS). This scalable and cost-efficient solution demonstrates significant potential for enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction in small-to-medium-sized retail environments.
