All regional property data unified into a single Fabric Lakehouse for the first time.
First executive-level cross-market dashboards live within 6 weeks of kickoff.
Monthly manual regional spreadsheet process replaced entirely by automated refresh.
The Challenge
Savills manages property assets across more than 50 regional markets, each with its own team, systems, and reporting cadence. Global leadership had no single view of portfolio performance — instead, monthly reports arrived as a stack of individually formatted spreadsheets from each region.
A simple question like 'What is our gross yield across MENA residential properties?' required a manual data pull from six different regional systems and two days of reconciliation work.
The analytics function needed to scale without adding regional analyst headcount in every market.
“I walked into the board meeting with dashboards that update every hour. That's never happened in this company's history. Normally we're arguing about which spreadsheet is right.”
— Maria Torres, CFO, Savills MENA
The Solution
IntelliFabric deployed a Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse that ingested data from all 50+ regional property management systems through a combination of native connectors and custom REST API pipelines.
A unified real estate semantic model — covering occupancy rates, gross yield, lease expiry profiles, and capital expenditure — was pre-built and deployed in the first implementation sprint.
Regional managers received self-service dashboards in Power BI. Global leadership received a cross-market executive view updated daily. Both surfaces run on the same governed data layer — no reconciliation required.
