iTwin reporting

Why iTwin reporting?

Effective reporting is key to managing infrastructure projects, enabling teams to track performance, make data-driven decisions, and ensure project success. The iTwin Platform simplifies reporting by offering powerful tools to aggregate, analyze, and visualize data from various sources. With the Reporting API, OData integration, and tools like the Carbon Calculation API, teams can gain valuable insights, improve workflows, and ensure sustainability compliance.

Key scenarios

Creating custom reports

The Reporting API allows teams to create custom reports by aggregating iModel data within the iTwin environment. These reports can then be enriched by combining additional data sources on the client side. Whether tracking quantity take-offs (QTOs), monitoring progress, or generating procurement reports, this API provides actionable insights that enhance asset visibility and improve decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

Example 1 – A procurement report of a building iTwin showing the paint area for all doors, helping decide the quantity of paint to order after construction.

Using external tools

OData is an open standard that facilitates the seamless integration of iTwin data with external business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Excel, and Tableau. By providing a consistent interface for querying iTwin data, it supports robust reporting capabilities, enabling teams to create interactive dashboards and custom reports that offer valuable insights into project metrics and performance.

Example 2 – A simple Power BI report that lists the volume of elements inside an iTwin.

Measuring environmental impact

The Carbon Calculation API helps teams measure and track the carbon impact of their projects. By integrating environmental data, such as Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Embodied Carbon (EPD) estimations, teams can assess their projects’ sustainability and ensure compliance with environmental goals. This empowers teams to make informed decisions that reduce environmental impact and meet regulatory requirements, while also enabling organizations to improve their sustainability practices over time.

Example 3 – A report highlighting the embodied carbon of a roadway project to assess environmental impact.

Summary

iTwin Reporting helps teams make informed decisions with customizable reports. By utilizing dynamic reporting and carbon calculation for sustainability assessments, teams can track project progress, enhance collaboration, and gain valuable insights into key metrics. These capabilities ensure organizations stay on track to meet project goals while supporting sustainable practices.
