Case Study: Statbel launches interactive municipality dashboards with Luzmo

How Statbel mapped the Belgian municipalities in numbers - reaching millions of Belgians - using Luzmo's embedded analytics software

Statbel, the Belgian national statistics bureau, wanted to make its open municipal data more accessible and easier to interpret for a wide audience, including policymakers and citizens. Their challenge was to create a user-friendly, interactive tool without requiring extensive in-house technical development, especially with a tight deadline ahead of national elections. They partnered with the vendor Luzmo to embed dashboards as an analytical layer.

The solution involved embedding Luzmo's dashboards directly into Statbel’s tool, which required minimal code and allowed for full control over styling to match their branding. Luzmo enabled Statbel to build a single, filterable dashboard for all municipalities instead of hundreds of individual ones. As a result, Statbel launched the tool in just a couple of months, saving years of development time. The Luzmo integration provided a visually attractive and seamless experience, allowing users to gain insights quickly without needing to analyze raw data.
