Part 7. Insights Without Asking IT – How BI Becomes Self-Driving
The best analysis isn’t the one that requires a report.
It’s the one that happens in the mind of a curious user.
One of our biggest drivers when building Homepal was to create a BI tool where you’d never have to say:
“Can you check that with IT?”
“We probably need a new view in Power BI…”
“Do we have a field for that?”
Because when every analysis requires an analyst hour - nothing happens. Decisions get delayed. Opportunities slip by.
We wanted to make BI self-driving.
Not in the sense of “automatically generated” - but driven by the user.
It’s about ownership
When a KPI is pre-defined, with the right data, filters, and structure—and shown in an interface anyone can understand - something starts to happen:
The property manager sees that turnaround time for blocked units is increasing - and takes action.
The leasing agent sees that demand in a specific area is dropping - and talks to marketing.
The finance lead sees rental loss is rising in the student segment - and digs deeper.
None of them had to wait for a new report.
None of them had to book a Power BI developer.
They just… clicked. And acted.
That’s why we built Homepal as a system where insight leads to the next question
In Homepal, you can move from:
A KPI on a dashboard
→ to trend comparison
→ to breakdown by area
→ to a list of affected units
→ to export, alert, or action
No switching tools. No loss of context. No dependence on someone else.
The business has the questions – we’ve just removed the friction
We don’t believe insights are born in analyst teams.
We believe they’re born in reality—in a housing area that performs differently, in a delayed inspection, in a tenant terminating their lease.
That’s why we build BI that delivers:
the right information
to the right person
at the right moment
So the person who knows what’s happening also gets support to understand why it’s happening—and what they can do about it.
