Day5 Analytics' client identifies energy and cost savings opportunities to meet their environmental and financial goals faster
Accelerating Speed to Insight Across the Organization
Disconnected data, legacy systems, and manual reporting prevent many organizations from leveraging their data to achieve strategic goals.
Day5 Analytics was consulted to accelerate speed-to-insight for a private equity group with interests in an $18.4 billion portfolio of assets, including commercial properties. This forward-thinking client pursues an aggressive sustainability strategy and was looking to leverage its utility data to identify opportunities to improve energy and cost efficiency.
The solution developed by Day5 Analytics provided insights into the portfolio’s energy cost and sustainability performance for decision making at all levels of the organization.
A Holistic Approach to Building Data Foundations
The client’s previous solution was a web portal that was restrictive in flexibility, depth, and slowed down the decision-making process. The reporting frequency was limited to quarterly due to large time investment for data consolidation – hindering the client’s ability to identify opportunities for cost savings and environmental benefits.
Day5 co-ordinated with the client’s executive sponsor’s team, IT department and third-party vendor to establish a data warehouse and business intelligence foundations. We established data pipelines consolidating multiple internal and external data sources, informed and supported infrastructure decisions, developed and deployed user-centric dashboards using Tableau.
Accessible, Consumable and Actionable
“While plenty of data exists, it tends to be siloed. We’ve been working with Day5 to pull data from different sources, starting with our energy bills, to improve oversight and analysis through user-centric dashboards.
User-centric and flexible Tableau dashboards help decision-makers spot trends, and anomalies, compare benchmarks, track sustainability target progress, and download data customized to their needs. The dashboards provide the client with the ability to access, analyze, and report commercial property utilities data effectively and at the level of detail to make a difference.
Data is now accessible across the organization more frequently and in a flexible format, improving speed-to-insight, and enabling environmental targets and cost savings to be realized faster.
