Sisense Add-On: 3D Deck GL Maps

How does the 3D Deck GL Maps Sisense Add-On Work?

RAPID BI's 3D Deck GL Maps combines Deck GL maps with GeoJSON shapes, and your Sisense data, to provide outstanding visuals for your dashboards.

Differentiating geographical areas, and highlighting differences with color and shape height, creates a highly engaging way to view data that allows end users to garner insights that may otherwise be missed. A picture tells a thousand words.

It integrates with Sisense data and dashboards seamlessly.

Our 3D Deck GL Maps Sisense add-on performs well with a large number of custom GeoJSON shapes. In the below example we loaded over 60,000 building shapes from NYC into a map. Although most of our customers use the maps for geo-regions like postcode, zipcode, county, government area, state, country etc, rather than individual buildings, we set up this example to demonstrate that volume of data is not likely to be an issue. The UI remains responsive as chunks of data are added to the map during loading.

What can I do with the 3D Deck GL Maps Sisense Add-On?

High resolution shapes are pre-loaded including USA states, Australian LGA's and Postcodes, and countries of the world. Need something different? No problem, the Add-On allows you to upload your GeoJSON file directly into the widget, and you are good to go. Any issues or need help, we are here to support you.

We have built this Add-On from the ground up with performance as a key consideration. This allows you to load more shapes at higher resolution for more beautiful visuals.

Advanced functionality is available in the design panel with no-code.

For example, custom tooltips that can include additional data and text, configurable clickable items (filter the dashboard on a dimension of your choosing), mapping and zooming options and much more.

Case Study - 3D Deck GL Maps

A Sisense client wished to highlight sales by postcode and as a proportion of population for each postcode. The idea was that the user could look at the map, zoom in on the areas of interest, and see at a glance where sales were being made, where the population was more dense, and what percentage of the population was be serviced.

They turned to RAPDI BI and the 3D Deck GL Maps add-in. 

By using the color to show the strength of sales, height to show population, and placing additional information in the tooltip, users were empowered to use the data to make better decisions. This led to a 10% increase in sales.

No doubt, the fast performance of the maps and visual representation of the data were key drivers in an uptick in the usage of BI, and also unlocked valuable insights for their users.

The 3D Deck GL Maps add-on proved to be a game-changer, empowering users and the organization to make better use of their data.
