    Seattle's Tableau Software is making it easier for companies to gage the effect of the pandemic on their business with its new interactive COVID-19 Data Hub dashboard.

    Companies can download customized dashboards with latest coronavirus data from Johns Hopkins University, WHO and the CDC and blend their own company findings to track how the virus may impact their own staff, customers and suppliers.

    For example, employers can map the outbreak against employee location data to create work from home policies, track inventory of hospital supplies, or monitor the spread of the virus within its own company.

    King County is one of several government agencies to create a dashboard to track COVID-19 spread. Tableau worked with the county to improve dashboard efficiency. 

    The COVID-19 Data Hub has been downloaded more than 16,000 times, with companies like Mapbox, PATH, Snowflake, Datablick, and Starschema using the tool.

    Tableau was acquired by Salesforce last year for $15.7 billion. The company remains based in Seattle and continues to operate independently under the Tableau brand, led by CEO Adam Selipsky, a former Amazon Web Services executive.

    "In coordination with Salesforce, our top priority remains doing our part to help flatten the curve," Tableau spokesperson told GeekWire.

    That included setting up a $1 million response fund to help community organizations serving at-risk neighbors, including Farestart, who finds disadvantaged populations job opportunities.

    Tableau also created two giving campaigns. One supports frontline health workers across the globe through the CDC Foundation, International Medical Corps, and Direct Relief. The other provides resources to organizations working with communities who are disproportionately impacted by the outbreak. Both are receiving double donation matches through the Tableau Foundation, a philanthropic initiative led by the employees of Tableau.

    The company employees roughly 2,500 employees in Washington State, and has not laid off anyone due to COVID-19.
