Spotfire® for Organizational KPI Analysis in Real Estate

Cadeon helped a large real estate organization centralize and visualize key performance indicators, giving leadership direct, interactive access to membership, operational, and financial insights through Spotfire dashboards.

Our Solution

Solution Summary

Our client is an organization composed of over 5,600 licensed realtors across the Calgary region. The organization’s external board of directors required a clear, intuitive way to analyze key performance indicators, with a focus on membership information, employee performance, and financial data.

Cadeon implemented a Spotfire-based solution that provided direct dashboard access through the organization’s website, automated KPI updates, and improved data comprehension through interactive visualizations.

Centralized KPI reporting across business units

Automated updates to organizational performance metrics

Interactive, web-accessible dashboards for leadership

Improved clarity and intuition through data visualization

The Challenge

Business Problem

KPI data existed across numerous spreadsheets and systems, making consolidation labour-intensive.

Reporting processes were cluttered, repetitive, and relied on manual manipulation of static reports.

Existing reporting solutions did not support dynamic or interactive analysis.

The external board of directors required direct, browser-based access to insights without needing to open a separate application.

Finding Success

Proven Solution

Cadeon implemented a data virtualization approach to aggregate data from multiple business units into a centralized environment. Custom queries and data wrangling processes were applied to prepare the data for analysis prior to visualization.

Spotfire was selected to present this data through intuitive, interactive dashboards built around defined organizational KPIs, while establishing meaningful relationships between variables to support deeper analysis.

01

Centralized Data Aggregation Through Virtualization

Data virtualization was used to aggregate disparate data sources into a single location, reducing clutter and eliminating the need to manually compile KPIs from individual spreadsheets.

02

Data Preparation and KPI Structuring

Custom queries and data wrangling were applied to standardize tables and prepare KPI metrics prior to analysis, ensuring consistency across reporting.

03

Interactive KPI Visualization with Spotfire

Spotfire dashboards were designed to visualize defined key performance metrics and reveal relationships between variables, improving insight and interpretability for leadership.

04

Direct Web-Based Access for the Board

Cadeon enabled the organization’s external board of directors to access dashboards directly through the company’s website, with the ability to interact with embedded visualizations and drill down into results.

05

Automated KPI Updates

Spotfire was used to automate KPI updates as new data became available, reducing the risk of manual calculation errors and streamlining ongoing, data-driven decision-making.

Cadeon partnered with my business to build a data visualization that exceeded expectations!!!

Kelvin Shelton
Founder

We initially started working with Cadeon in the summer of 2017, at CREB®. Our first engagement was focused on a strategic dash boarding Proof of Concept, with some deeper analytical aspirations for the future. Our foray into this new area was met with encouragement and support; and we pulled the trigger on our first Spotfire licenses.

This was a great 2-day Spotfire Advanced Training course that has taken my competency and proficiency using the tool to new levels. I highly recommend this course for those who are already familiar with using the basic features of Spotfire and even those who are at an intermediate level.

Alex Renaud
Data Technician

Cadeon's entire staff has been a great supplement to my data analytics company's capabilities. I highly recommend them.

Mike Layton
CTO

I own a technology consulting firm in the US. For more than 10 years, Cadeon has provided excellent service, responsiveness and overall "do what they say they can do" commitments. Rarely do I feel Cadeon gets in over their head and always do they find the best path for additional solutions / partners to inject in the project at the right time!

Jeff Sanders
Founder

Cadeon supported the design and implementation of a new product for our database that leveraged services. This involved a lot of "new things" for our company. Fortunately our Cadeon team of Mark, Steve, Cristi and Greg not only got the job done, they also gave the patience and advice we really needed. I enjoy working with this group because I can just describe what I need and they can translate it into a project plan.

Catie Donohue
Chief Operations Officer

We have been involved with Cadeon for the Spotfire for few years and has been a huge help in the implementation of the tool in house as well as supporting us throughout the last few years and also very recently training many users in the Analyst version and our instructor Ryan Mross was awesome in showing the various features and hands on with all in the training. Thanks so much for all the support and guidance, especially from Mark and Dawn.

Sandeep Alexander
CTO

2022 marked the year when we finally introduced Spotfire to our corporate analytical reporting workbench. Cadeon's team played an absolutely essential role in guiding us, and fast-tracking development of in-house competency. Kudos!!

Marcel Preteau
CTO

We have relied on Cadeon implementing and supporting our Spotfire Production and Development environments as well as our training. It’s been a great working relationship with the Cadeon team depending on their expertise as we continue to grow our environment.

Mike Hartman
CTO

Really helpful. We have used Cadeon for Spotfire installs and updates which are particularly difficult. Even after decades of supporting this software we've run into issues. Recently after moving the spotfire database, for example, there was a small but significant change that held the process up. I was able to reach out (unplanned) and get it solved that afternoon with their help. This was huge. Business critical functions back online in no time.

J Fred Beck
CTO

Cadeon has been supporting our Spotfire development and training over the last 12 months. Cadeon has been very helpful in developing visualizations within Spotfire and TDV implementation. Cadeon will suggest licensing levels, train users and will even meet with clients virtually to review development progress. I would highly recommend using them as you begin your journey with Spotfire.

Jim Buck
CTO

Cadeon team helps our firm with the support and maintenance of Composite, which is a data virtualization software. The team is quite experienced and knowledgeable and is always available to help even in odd hours. We did a project to upgrade the software and the scope of the project was pretty complex. Cadeon helped us in the successful completion with their skills and perseverance. The team, Steve Dolha and Mark Perry is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Nabanita Sarkar
CTO

I worked with the Cadeon team in my previous job on a project to upgrade our Data Virtualization infrastructure. The one aspect of them that strikes me most is their tenacity and perseverance. They were a great help in bringing the project to a successful conclusion. They also worked indefatigably with us through countless iterations of configuration changes, testing, performance fine-tuning, etc.
