Unlock Data-Driven Success with our Expert Power BI Solutions
The Business Challenge
Today, businesses rely heavily on data, to drive nearly every aspect of their operations. They collect vast amounts of data on processes and operations but often struggle to fully leverage this wealth of information. Data is often in silos spread across different departments, using multiple technologies. The usual standard reports do not provide enough flexibility. A unified view can provide unique and comprehensive insights and enable strategic decision making , giving you the competitive edge you are looking for to manage your business.
What is Power BI?
Power BI, a software crafted by Microsoft, facilitates the designing of interactive, engaging dashboards and reports by linking diverse data sources. As a robust business intelligence solution, it furnishes actionable insights, catalyzing tangible business outcomes. Through Power BI, individuals can visualize, distribute, and disseminate their discoveries effortlessly to a broad audience.
How Power BI can be used to make data-driven decisions?
Case Study 1
A premier service provider offers digital art services. We developed a sophisticated online marketplace portal where users can commission, create, approve, and purchase digitizing services for art and embroidery . This platform facilitates complex and customized workflows that seamlessly connect thousands of customers, service providers in different continents to place orders for digitizing services.
Every day, customers submit thousands of work orders from different geographic locations. For companies providing digital services 24×7, it is vital to monitor the status of these orders and gain a comprehensive overview of ongoing orders received. This overview encompasses variables or indicators such as inventory levels, profit margins, and sales of specific items.
Creating individual reports for each custom type would have required a considerable investment of time and resources, involving extensive data collection and UI design efforts for each report. Instead, we chose to optimize the process by consolidating data from all sources through Power BI. This integration allowed us to generate a diverse range of custom reports—including those focused on inventory, profit margins, and sales—50% faster and with greater efficiency. These reports provided valuable insights into art service company, aiding them in assessing current sales performance and making informed decisions for future sales strategies.
Case Study 2
A US client in the construction industry, invested significant time in analyzing their job profits, revenue, accruals, accounts receivables accounts payables across multiple customers. Despite having all the necessary data within their system, they found themselves downloading multiple Excel reports for profit and cost information, then manually conducting calculations to obtain insights. The absence of a flexible report meant they had to go through this process repeatedly.
Power BI, provides an integrated dashboard that consolidates all relevant information on revenue, costs, and customer/job-specific data into one accessible interface. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for manual Excel downloads and calculations, reducing a two- to three-week process to a few clicks. Users can select custom parameters to tailor the granularity of the insights they require.
