I'm working with my family managing our supermarket. It is not cool at all.

I got a Bachelors degree in CS at UFPE. I have been studying for a while to get back to software developer career.

You could so some pretty cool stuff. Have you been hyper optimizing it?

Product shelve to sale ratios?

80/20 type optimizations on revenue by skus?

Traffic flow maps?

I'd love to hear some result or stories if you do end up doing some of this.

Doing some basic image processing and tracking customers flow through the store would be fascinating.

You could categorize what people are shopping for, how long, and what buying one item tends to mean for the rest of their shopping cart.

I'd read that paper!

Which paper ?
I was implying that it would make an interesting academic paper.
I am into consumer goods distribution, wondering how I could apply any of the above ?
Can you get into a little more detail regarding your primary business? I'd love to brainstorm? Whatsapp or Skype maybe?
If you can send me a mail , I would exchange cellphone number so that we can chat via whatsapp. My email address is in my profile.
Just looked at your HN profile and cant find a way to contact you.

If you have some kind of purchases database you could practice data science on it.
