Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, Built Around Your Numbers

A dashboard is easy to produce and hard to trust. The difference is almost never the visuals: it is whether the model underneath answers the follow-up question, and whether the numbers still reconcile at month end. We build Power BI and Microsoft Fabric solutions on top of the systems you already run, then teach your team to extend them.

Why Work with a Specialist on Power BI?

Power BI is easy to start with and easy to get wrong. Most of the reporting we are asked to rescue looks fine until someone filters by a second dimension, or until finance and operations arrive at two different totals for the same month.

Our work concentrates on the part nobody sees: the data model, the refresh, and the definitions everyone has to agree on before a number means anything.

  • Reports built around the KPIs your team actually manages by.
  • Models that hold up when someone asks the obvious follow-up question.
  • Embedded reporting for partners and members who need their own view.
  • Training, so your own team can extend the work instead of re-hiring for it.

Some industries we served
Manufacturing · Government and regulated utilities · Wholesale and consumer goods · Healthcare and First Nations health · Nonprofit
Typical engagement
A first dashboard usually lands in four to twelve weeks, depending on the state of the data underneath it. Dinoflex, for example, went from kickoff to production sales analytics in three months. Training runs as one to three sessions, and reporting partnerships often continue afterwards: the wholesale ERP reporting engagement has run since January 2021.
Technology
Power BI desktop and service, embedded reporting scoped per organization, Microsoft Fabric and Azure data warehousing, Power Automate, and direct connections to whichever systems hold your numbers. For example, one recycled flooring manufacturer’s reporting runs straight off SAP Business One.
Security
Who sees which rows is a design decision, not an afterthought, and reports stay inside your own Microsoft tenant. For example, Giiwednong Health Link’s community portal embeds Power BI so that each First Nations organization reaches only its own health record analytics.

What a Power BI Engagement Covers

Most engagements combine three things: a model that can be trusted, reports built on top of it, and enough transfer of knowledge that you are not dependent on us for every change.

Microsoft Fabric enters the picture when volume, real-time needs or a growing number of sources make a plain Power BI dataset the wrong place to keep the logic.

Dashboards and reports

Built around the decisions they support, with the definitions agreed before anyone argues about a total.

Data models and warehousing

Azure and Microsoft Fabric models that keep history, survive follow-up questions, and refresh without hand-holding.

Embedded and external reporting

Reports surfaced in your own portal, scoped so each partner, member or community sees only their own data.

Training and handover

Practical sessions on your data, so your analysts can build the next report themselves.

How It Works

How a Reporting Project Runs

Short cycles, with something you can click on early rather than a big reveal at the end.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We agree the decisions the reporting has to support and the definitions behind each metric.

  2. 02

    Data model

    Sources are connected and modelled, with history retained where trends matter more than today’s number.

  3. 03

    Build

    Reports and dashboards are built in short iterations, reviewed with the people who will use them.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Numbers are reconciled against the source systems until finance and operations agree on the same totals.

  5. 05

    Train and hand over

    Your team is trained on the model as it was actually built, then owns it with our support available.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find the answer you are looking for? Contact us, and we will gladly answer all your questions.

Do we need Microsoft Fabric, or is Power BI enough?

For most mid-market reporting, Power BI with a well-built model and a warehouse behind it is enough. Fabric earns its place when you have many sources, large volumes, real-time needs, or data engineering that should not live inside a report.

Can you connect our ERP directly?

Yes. We regularly report straight off ERP systems and their APIs, including SAP Business One, and we can stage the data first where the ERP should not carry the query load.

Can external partners or members see only their own data?

Yes. Reports can be embedded in your own portal and scoped per organization or per user, which is how community and partner portals we have built keep each group to its own records.

Do you train our team, or keep the knowledge?

We train your team. Sessions run on your own data and your own model, and clients regularly go on to build further reports themselves. Team training is also available on its own through our corporate training.

What licensing do we need?

That depends on how many people consume reports and whether anything is embedded for external users. We work it out during discovery, and we will tell you when a cheaper licensing route gives the same outcome.

Can you fix reporting somebody else built?

Often, yes. We start by reviewing the model rather than the visuals, because that is usually where the mistrust originates. Sometimes the answer is a rebuild, and we will say so plainly if it is.
