About The Client
Savills
Savills has been in the real estate business since 1855. They are headquartered in London, UK, along with their vast corporate spread across 700 offices in more than 70 countries situated in the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. Their real estate services portfolio includes selling and leasing residential and commercial properties, valuation and consultancy, property and facility management, investment advisory, development services, and market research.
Data Fragmentation & Inconsistent Reporting
Savills struggled to establish a cohesive and optimized reporting environment. The primary goal was to aggregate and optimize data from multiple disparate data sources. These data sources comprised Microsoft Dynamics F&O and Salesforce alongside other file-based uploads within Azure Data Lake and SharePoint. This fragmentation of data resulted in:
Manual compilation of diverse dietary preferences from numerous sources caused time delays
Relied on manual efforts for data consolidation, eating up valuable time and hindering operational scalability
The varying data extraction methods led to reporting inconsistencies and discrepancies
The reports lacked operational insights, hindering strategic initiatives and decision-making
The lack of real-time reporting missed out on taking critical business decisions on-spot for the efficient performance
Real Estate Data Consolidation and Reporting Using Microsoft Fabric
Folio3 collaborated with Savills to transform their reporting landscape. We designed and implemented Microsoft Fabric, which produced a scalable reporting solution. We took two approaches, optimizing their current reporting assets and constructing a complete 360° reporting platform. The main aspects of the solution were:
Strategic Optimization of Existing Reports
We deeply analyzed Savills’ existing reporting infrastructure to highlight bottlenecks and refine reporting logic for maximized performance and data accuracy.
Microsoft Fabric as the Core Analytics Platform
We established a cloud-native data analytics platform. It served as the main pillar system for data ingestion, transformation, and analysis.
Medallion Architecture Implementation
