Before using SuperTables

In Germany, the government’s requirements for farmers to document every activity on their farms are rigorous. In order to support farmers in this process, LAND-DATA has been diversifying its portfolio from printing services to offering solutions for the digital offices of German farmers. Digitalizing always brings challenges to companies. In the case of LAND-DATA, they were specifically looking for a solution that would help them present data in a tree-view style. After comparing three different products from Tableau’s Extension Gallery, LAND-DATA chose SuperTables as the most comfortable and customizable solution to use.

Turning the Tables

Every year German farmers need to hand in a report for the fiscal year, consisting of data that has been aggregated in specific ways. These reports include tables of earnings and losses for the corresponding year. Oftentimes, the farmers would like to know what lies behind the numbers of these tables. For example, they need to know which kind of seeds they purchased lie behind the specific number on the table for optimizing their business results. Before the extension, the farmer had to use the search function in separate PDF files and manually compare the numbers from the Tableau dashboard with the information in the PDF.

Thanks to SuperTables, LAND-DATA can present all this information from the PDF right into the tree view table, making it way more accessible for the farmers to get the information they need without switching from Tableau. This improvement certainly created a more comfortable way of presenting and analyzing the data.

”Key users quickly became convinced that exploring their data using SuperTables would be much easier and more convenient in the future.”
