About 'thuis​

A social housing landlord that provides affordable, sustainable living space in, among others, Eindhoven, Veldhoven, Best, Son & Breugel, Waalre and Oirschot. Rents out and manages homes, builds new sustainable homes and strongly invests in Lean management.

The trigger​

The desire to reduce maintenance time on reports, develop more custom reports and respond faster to changing KPI and process needs. Existing reports did not work well and had a long "time to repair".

Alternatives considered​

Blue Mountain and ZIG — both perceived as too expensive for too little added value and with forced standard reports.

Decisive criteria​

  • Flexibility (no standard reports)
  • Alignment with Lean management
  • Transparency and truthfulness of data
  • Better price-quality ratio
  • Scrum way of working with clear deliverables (three-weekly sprints)

Concrete benefits​

  • Better report performance
  • Faster traceability of errors, shorter resolution time
  • More transparency about truthfulness
  • Always up-to-date data
  • Less management complexity toward Power BI

Quote​

"Yres is truly worth its weight in gold. It reduces complexity toward Power BI reports and makes data a lot more accessible." (Yres is echt wel goud waard. Het reduceert de complexiteit richting Power BI-rapportages en maakt data een stuk toegankelijker.)

Point for improvement (honest)​

According to Toin, the weakest part is marketing and visibility — Plainwater/Yres is too modest and insufficiently visible in the sector. Advice: more demonstrations, presence at events and publications in trade journals.
