Order a Custom Real Estate Dashboard


You already know which metrics you want to see in your custom real estate dashboard. Now, let’s build it together!
On this page we describe our five step process for building a custom real estate dashboard. We build dashboards in Power BI, Tableau and Klipfolio. We can automate the data refresh from systems such as Entrata, Rent Manager, Yardi, Appfolio, QuickBooks and more.

STEP 3: BUILD
Goal: To build a functioning, interactive dashboard(s) that can be automatically refreshed with latest data.
Work done in this phase includes:
- Write the formulas for the metrics and calculations
- Create the visual elements of the dashboards (charts, filters and the interactivity between all the tiles)
- Design the data source for the dashboards
- Build the process for pulling data from the source systems and automating the data refresh
- Load the initial data set
- Run the refresh several times and tune the speed
- Get clarifications on the requirements and features

Decide how to get data into dashboard

STEP 4: TEST
Goal: To confirm that the dashboard is displaying the metrics accurately and is getting refreshed as per schedule.
The steps in this stage are:
- Decide pass/fail criteria
- Compare data in dashboard to data in reports
- Log data validation results
- Compile evidence of testing

Compare numbers in report to the numbers in the dashboard

STEP 5: LAUNCH
Goal: To have you and your team start using your custom built dashboard.
