developing the analytical front end
themselves. By choosing to embed Yellowfin,
Altuity was able to go to market much faster
with solutions that offered fully integrated
dashboards and pre-packaged reports,
making it easier for businesses to collaborate
and engage with their data and confidently
make proactive decisions.
Voller continued: “Yellowfin’s clean, crisp
reporting interface provides an excellent
UI for both developers and end-users.
We’ve found it very easy to create standard
reports and dashboards and the feedback
from our customer base is hugely positive.
The architecture of the software is
extensible; we’re excited that it will grow
with us and be able to accommodate all of
our future requirements. For example, our
software was designed to be translatable
from the outset, like Yellowfin, and we’re
already engaged with organisations outside
of the UK.”

ellowfin BI, the analytics company
that helps customers reach a
resolution more quickly, has
announced that Altuity, a leading provider
of asset and maintenance-management
software, has embedded Yellowfin technology
into its software. By doing so, Altuity will
enable its customers to intuitively interpret
information and save time and money.
Since 2013, Altuity has been providing
cutting-edge solutions to schools,
construction companies and organisations
in the commercial sector, providing 2D
and 360° facilities, asset, maintenance and
inspection management as well as giving
construction teams a visual display of
underground assets such as plastic pipes,
fibre optics, valves and joints.

Steve Voller, CEO at Altuity, commented:
“We saw a real opportunity to develop two
completely new applications that brought
the concept of Google street view to asset
management and sub surface engineering.
We’ve done this by using integrated maps,
floor and site plans, 360° photospheres,
with added elements of Augmented
Reality, so you can effectively walk through
the environment or virtually open up the
ground beneath your feet. We felt confident
that advanced data visualisation would
support better interaction and drive greater
understanding of the data and information
being managed.”
Altuity wanted to deliver ready-to-go
dashboards and reporting, so chose to
integrate this functionality rather than
Yellowfin helps Altuity customers to
determine trends and relationships between
data. It gives its end-users the ability to
drill into data and gain insight into critical
issues such as: which assets need the most
maintenance, how assets are deteriorating
over time, whether Service Level Agreements
(SLAs) are being adhered to and ultimately,
take action.
Voller concluded: “There is a huge amount
of functionality in Yellowfin and there’s a
real wow-factor when you start showing
people the reports. The collaboration and
Assisted Insights features really help our
products to stand out and we love the
direction the product is taking. The way
Yellowfin is using automation and Machine
Learning promises to deliver even more
engagement with the data, so the future is
really exciting.” n
