20 Years | Tracking Dashboard
In an earlier blog we already announced that this year, to celebrate our 20th anniversary, we're cycling to Aarhus.
In this third blog, colleague Ben van der Helm talks about the GPS trackers carried by both the group of cyclists and the other groups of colleagues, and the Power BI dashboard connected to it.
E-mergo turns 20 on October 1st, to celebrate we're cycling to the head office of TimeXtender in Aarhus, Denmark.
We'd like to give our clients and relations the opportunity to follow our bike trip to Aarhus. That's why our colleague Ben van der Helm, together with colleague Niek Guijt, built a great dashboard in Power BI based on data from GPS trackers.
In this dashboard you can follow the group of cyclists at any moment. The cyclists are also supported by a supply van and a camper. Both of these are also equipped with a tracker, so they can be followed in the dashboard as well.
But not everyone is cycling to Aarhus. Besides the group of cyclists, there are also two groups traveling to Aarhus by car via Hamburg and Legoland. These two groups are also equipped with a GPS tracker.
In total, there are about 5 groups to follow in the dashboard. This makes it easy to see where everyone is at any given moment. This is fun for both clients and relations, as well as for our colleagues internally.
In the video below, Ben explains exactly how the GPS trackers work and shows what the first version of the dashboard looks like:
