Revolutionizing Real Estate Reporting with Pixel Perfect>
How Pixel Perfect Enhanced Reporting Efficiency
When building our reporting solution – Pixel Perfect for Tableau – we knew from the start that we couldn’t limit it to a single industry or domain. We knew that it had to be versatile and robust enough to handle the demands of every sector we could possibly think of. Reporting, after all, is a fundamental need for businesses of all stripes, including niche ones like real estate.

At USEReady, we understand the diverse challenges different industries face when it comes to data utilization. This understanding was recently put to the test when we collaborated with a major North American real estate firm managing a sprawling portfolio exceeding 36 million square feet. Their diverse holdings included everything from malls and multi-family residential properties to office spaces and industrial zones. Efficiently managing such a vast spread of properties demanded real-time data and up-to-date information – the very foundation of their success.

Measuring Success and Future Outlook
The customer’s Tableau-based reporting however, fell short on multiple counts. Generating reports on critical metrics like rental income, lease renewals, foot traffic, and accounts receivable was a manual, time-consuming affair. It involved data extraction from various sources, formatting for clarity, and manual calculations for trend analysis across months and years. This not only wasted valuable resources but also limited the ability of leadership and operational teams to make data-driven decisions in a timely manner.

Our initial discussions with the client revealed a clear need for an automated reporting solution that seamlessly integrated with their existing Tableau Cloud Environment.
