Abstract

In recent years, the fast-growing internet technology has increased online activities, including online shopping. As a result, many companies doing business in this area successfully earn high profits. With the e-shopping success, many online shops compete to offer more variety products and let customers have more choices. However, if the seller does not know the prospective customers' purchase interests, offering more collections can increase the risk of overstock in inventory. Therefore, this study aims to reduce overstock by focusing on customer segmentation to determine purchase interests. First, as a case study, we use an online shop in one popular online marketplace in Indonesia. Then, we use the k-means algorithm clustering method to determine the segmentation of prospective customers. Finally, we recommend the inventory strategy for online shops to prioritize the top three prospective customers segment as the target market.
