datadore Insights

From Raw Data to Powerful Dashboards

datAdore Insights is a core feature of the Derilinx datAdore platform.

datAdore Insights is a powerful open-source data visualisation tool that integrates seamlessly with CKAN data portals, enabling users to build interactive dashboards and data stories directly within the platform.

Are you struggling with these challenges?

Public service bodies might publish large volumes of data, yet most of you continue to encounter common challenges.

  • FOI & PQ burden: You still receive requests for information already in your datasets, consuming staff time. If not answered quickly, these impact compliance and reputation.

  • Manual reporting overhead: Parent departments request KPIs and summaries that exist in your data but require time-consuming manual effort.

  • Low data accessibility: Raw spreadsheets and CSVs are difficult to interpret. Citizens, media, and even internal teams need visualisations and context.

  • Low public engagement: Outside of researchers and journalists, open data portals see little use because data isn’t presented in engaging, easy-to-understand, visual formats.

  • Fragmented sources: Data is spread across different APIs, databases, and files, making reporting inefficient.

  • Expensive, BI tools: Existing BI platforms (Tableau, Power BI) are costly, don’t integrate with open portals, and are often too technical for day-to-day users.

Our Solution

Open-source data visualisation tool Apache Superset integrated directly into your datAdore data portal.

datAdore Insights enables you to:

  • Create clear, easy-to-understand dashboards and visual stories.
  • Display dashboards across your portal and embed them in external sites.

  • Ensure dashboards are always up to date, automatically refreshing with the latest data published on datAdore.

  • Publish dashboards publicly for general use, or privately for internal and departmental reporting.

  • Connect to external APIs and databases to enrich your insights.

Data Portals Worldwide

Cork City Council recently partnered with Derilinx on an open data pilot initiative focused on the visualisation of pedestrian footfall and air quality datasets. Derilinx’s expertise, professionalism and practical approach helped deepen our understanding of data quality and the complexities of transforming and visualising data. Their support helped us turn internal datasets into useful, accessible information, with dashboards highlighting the broader value of open data. This pilot laid solid groundwork for future open data projects, and we look forward to building on this momentum together.
