The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process is the foundation of data warehousing and enables organizations to integrate data from multiple operational systems into a centralized repository for analysis and decision-making. In a business environment, data is often distributed across e-commerce platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. These systems generate heterogeneous data in different formats, structures, and update frequencies. ETL consolidates this information into a unified data warehouse, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and reliability. The first stage is Extraction, where data is collected from various source systems without affecting their normal operations. In an e-commerce system, extracted data includes customer orders, product details, website transactions, payment records, shopping carts, and delivery information. ERP systems contribute financial transactions, inventory levels, procurement records, supplier information, production schedules, and employee data. CRM systems provide customer profiles, sales opportunities, service requests, marketing campaigns, and communication history. Extraction
