Power BI Dashboards displaying metrics from Yardi

Why did you engage Metric-X?

Our property management company first engaged with Metric-X to utilize their services to create and build KPI dashboards to display on monitors at our corporate office.

What improvements and new capabilities do you now have as a result of successfully implementing the solution?

Thanks to the Metric-X team, our office is equipped with KPI dashboards that run through PowerBI, which is an easier option for our company that we did not know about prior to working with them. It provides ease of use for our team, access to Metric-X for quick updates or modifications, and the ability to seamlessly connect with our internal Microsoft systems and processes. The success of implementing these solutions is widespread – our leadership team is pleased, our corporate office now has KPIs displaying on monitors across our walls, and all employees can easily view their metrics as well as other team members’ metrics for radical transparency.

Would you recommend Metric-X to other companies? Why?

I would recommend Metric-X to other companies because not only did they complete the very complicated project we presented them with, but they were also very patient, flexible, understanding, responsive, and helpful. We spent several months working with various other companies who could not solve our issues, so ultimately finding Metric-X and working with them was a breath of fresh air. They helped us to find solutions and executed something fantastic.
