Segmentation was performed with data mining applications, and the grouped data were separated according to their similarities. The data set consisting of demographic characteristics and various product information of the enterprise's customers were analyzed with Decision Tree and Random Forest, which are data mining methods, the best performing algorithm in the data set was selected by comparing the performance of the methods.
