Client Bio

A leading Swiss investment management company that specialises in real-estate investments for pension funds. It manages an extensive portfolio both in Switzerland and abroad, so internal stakeholders, project managers, and investors expect accurate, transparent, and timely reports to guide decisions -especially around CAPEX tracking and sustainability KPIs.

Situation

  • Fragmented data landscape
    - Immopac (Scopes & CAPEX modules)
    - Excel files from third-party energy and sustainability vendors
    - Access databases on SharePoint for parking-garage projects  
  • 90 % of data gathering was manual - slow, error-prone, and increasingly unmanageable as the portfolio grew.  
  • Twelve different data formats made it difficult to create clean, reliable datasets.  
  • Regulatory pressure on sustainability reporting required consistent environmental metrics (energy, water, CO₂).  
  • Real-time insight gap for project managers and controlling teams who needed live dashboards on CAPEX, energy use, and overall portfolio health.

The overarching goal: automate every step - from extraction to visualisation—so teams could access trustworthy, up-to-date insights on demand.

Solution

The end-to-end data-engineering solution on Microsoft Azure connects Immopac modules, third-party Excel energy files, and SharePoint-hosted Access databases, then uses Azure Data Factory to automate extraction, cleansing, merging, and KPI enrichment while standardising file types and streaming live operational records through Azure Event Hub and Azure Stream Analytics. 

Cleaned data lands in a tiered storage designraw backups for audit, an aggregated layer for curated datasets, and a history-tracking data warehouse optimised for reporting - before feeding automated Power BI dashboards that cover DCM Controlling (portfolio + CAPEX), PM Controlling (project-level), and Sustainability Reporting (energy, water, CO₂); analysts can further explore the data via Azure Synapse Analytics. The platform automatically processes more than 100 Immopac tables, delivers real-time self-service dashboards, writes newly derived KPIs back into Immopac to improve future planning, and protects information with granular access controls.

Impact

  • Time savings: Multi-day manual reporting cycles collapsed to hours - or live views - freeing teams for analysis instead of data chasing.    
  • Higher data confidence: A single, centralised source of truth reduced validation back-and-forth and boosted stakeholder trust in KPIs.    
  • Improved strategic planning: Real-time, aggregated views enhanced forecasting accuracy, risk assessment, and portfolio optimisation.    
  • Stronger sustainability focus: Precise tracking of energy, water, and CO₂ now underpins ESG goals and regulatory compliance.  
  • Scalable, future-proof foundation: New projects, data sources, or reporting needs can be onboarded without major rebuilds, supporting long-term digital-transformation ambitions.
