Our Services
How we can help you
Power BI
Power BI dashboards that turn housing data into actionable insight. We create operational, compliance, and board-level reports that are easy to use and widely adopted. Just as importantly, we can and love to train your teams as well — covering SQL, Power Query, DAX, and report design — we'd love to stay working with you, but get so much more satisfaction in upskilling to the point you don't need us. Whether it’s custom visuals or a self-serve reporting strategy, our focus is always on usability and sustainability. We empower housing providers to make smarter decisions, faster — and to build the internal capability to maintain and evolve reporting over time.
Many off the shelf training providers will happily train in Power BI but always using Microsoft's training databases - Contoso, Adventure Works, Northwind....Housing simply isn't Bike Sales in the US. We recognise the importance of relevant training and only train on your housing system.
Data Warehousing
Reliable reporting needs a solid data foundation. iStride builds tailored data warehouses for housing organisations, extracting and transforming data from Civica Cx and other systems into structured, efficient models. We design solutions around your KPIs and reporting needs, enabling powerful analysis in tools like Power BI, SSRS or Qlik to name but a few. But we don’t just build it and leave — we work closely with your team, providing documentation, training, and hands-on support so your staff understand and can develop the solution further.
Our goal is to leave you with lasting capability, not ongoing dependency. We specialise in Civica Cx and Power BI and are uniquely placed to provide training on everything from configuring the system, loading the data, building a warehouse, using Power Query, Power BI, DAX, Report Builder and every step.
Data Migration
iStride delivers safe, accurate data migration for housing providers — handling extraction, transformation, and loading between systems. We've supported numerous organisations migrating to and from Civica Cx and other platforms, we ensure complete, reliable, repeateble data flows with minimal disruption.
Alongside technical delivery, we focus on knowledge transfer — equipping your team with tools and understanding to manage the process and maintain quality post-migration.
We map and validate everything carefully, ensuring your data is ready for business use from day one. If you're migrating systems and want assurance, clarity, and capability — iStride provides all three.
Regulatory Returns
iStride helps housing providers streamline regulatory reporting for Housemark, ARC, SDR, and TSM. We build automated, accurate reports that align directly with regulatory definitions — reducing manual effort and improving year-on-year consistency. We take the surprise out of end of year returns. Our solutions are tailored to your data and systems, whether you're using Civica Cx or other platforms.
We also help you understand the logic behind each calculation, so your team can confidently explain figures to auditors, boards, and regulators. Importantly, every social housing provider does the same... but differently - we understand that and we make sure its right for you. The result is less pressure, fewer errors, and better visibility — both externally and internally.
Integration
System integration is key to efficient housing operations. iStride helps organisation connect housing, finance, contractor, and CRM systems to eliminate duplication and streamline workflows.
Whether syncing rent balances or implementing a full repairs workflow, we help build practical, robust integrations that reduce manual work and increase data accuracy. Every integration is grounded in operational need — designed in collaboration with your teams and tailored to your business processes.
We have supported numerous organisations implementing interfaces in and out of Civica Cx using APIs. If your systems are working in silos, we can help you connect the dots and drive meaningful service improvement.
