Visualizing trends in business data is essential for anticipating demand and planning resources effectively. By transforming raw numbers into clear, interpretable line charts, you can quickly spot patterns such as seasonal peaks, gradual growth, or sudden drops. These insights help you forecast inventory needs, schedule staff, and allocate budgets more efficiently. Understanding the story your data tells through visualization empowers you to make informed decisions and stay ahead in a competitive market.
