Dashboards and Decision Support Tools

We create intuitive dashboards and apps that empower users to leverage data effortlessly for smarter decision-making, streamlined reporting, and effective communication.

Cascadia develops advanced, customizable modeling and decision-making tools to help communities manage waste, reduce emissions, promote sustainability, and adapt to climate change. Our tool development team works seamlessly across platforms—such as Power BI, Google Forms, ArcGIS, QuickBase, Excel, and more—to collect and manage diverse data sources and formats. Designed for both big-picture analysis and detailed insights, our tools empower planners to model outcomes of proposed scenarios, collaborate effectively with partners and community members, and communicate progress clearly. By providing actionable insights, we help communities achieve their most ambitious climate and sustainability goals.

Examples of our support include:

  • ArcGIS maps and StoryMaps
  • PowerBI and online dashboards
  • Excel-based waste generation and flow models
  • Greenhouse gas emissions forecasting and scenario analysis tools
  • Climate impacts decision-support tools
