Features of Power BI that are useful for Property Management Companies

Data connectors

Power BI can connect to hundreds of data sources, such as SQL Server, Azure, Google Analytics, Excel and more. This allows property management companies to access and combine data from various platforms and systems. This could include portfolio management, CRM software or financial systems giving them a holistic view of their business.

Dashboards

Power BI can create stunning and interactive dashboards that display key metrics and indicators for assets, sales and business financials. This allows property management companies to customize and share their dashboards with their teams and stakeholders, and access them from any device.

Reports

Power BI can generate detailed and insightful reports that drill down into the data and reveal the underlying patterns and trends. Property management companies can use reports to answer specific questions, explore scenarios, and compare outcomes. They can also apply filters, slicers, and bookmarks to their reports to focus on the relevant data.

Semantic models

Power BI can build semantic models (datasets) that define the relationships and calculations among the data elements. Semantic models enable retailers to create consistent and accurate measures and calculations across their data sources, and use them in their dashboards and reports.

Q&A

Power BI can answer natural language queries from the users, and provide visual and textual responses. Q&A allows property management companies to ask questions about their data in their own words, and get instant answers without writing any code or formula

Benefits of Power BI for the Property Management Companies

Faster and better decision making

Power BI can help property management companies make data-driven decisions in real time, based on the latest and most accurate information. Power BI can also provide predictive analytics and what-if scenarios, to help property management companies anticipate future outcomes and plan accordingly.

Understand Your Portfolio

Power BI can help property management companies understand their portfolio. Power BI allows businesses to slice your data by region, type or occupancy. It also has the ability to build maps to provide great visualisations.

Financial Analysis

Power BI is a great tool to allow a property management business to understand its current and projected income. Understanding the ROI (return on investment) is key for any purchase. Power BI can help analyse and present the spending and income from any property.

Occupancy and Rental

Power BI is a great tool to allow a property management business to understand its current and projected occupancy.
