Overview

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE THAT HAS A PURPOSE

Your dashboard should answer business questions — not simply display numbers.

Businesses often have large amounts of useful information spread across spreadsheets, databases, ERP systems, CRM platforms, finance applications and operational systems.

The challenge is turning that information into a reporting experience that helps managers understand what is happening, what has changed and where attention may be required.

Incodiv Tech develops Power BI dashboards around business objectives, KPIs, users and available data sources — combining data preparation, modeling, calculations and visualization into a structured reporting solution.

Business Challenges

WHEN REPORTING BECOMES THE PROBLEM

Stop spending more time preparing reports than understanding them.

01

Manual Reporting

Teams repeatedly copy, combine and format information before reports can be reviewed.

02

Scattered Data

Business information lives across spreadsheets, applications, databases and departments.

03

Different Versions of Numbers

Separate reports and calculation methods can make management discussions more difficult.

04

Limited KPI Visibility

Important indicators are difficult to monitor consistently across teams, periods or branches.

05

Static Reports

Users receive fixed reports but cannot easily filter or explore the information behind them.

06

Too Much Information

Reports contain many numbers without clearly showing what requires management attention.

04

Dashboard Model

FROM DATA TO DECISION

Build reporting around the questions management asks.

Dashboard Experience

INFORMATION WITH HIERARCHY

Start with the big picture. Explore the detail when needed.

A useful dashboard should guide users through information instead of placing every metric on the same screen.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Business Performance
Current Period
KPI 01 Revenue Current performance
KPI 02 Margin Performance trend
KPI 03 Target Actual vs target
KPI 04 Outstanding Area to review
Performance Trend PERIOD COMPARISON
NEEDS ATTENTION

Move beyond headline numbers.

Use supporting views to understand trends, exceptions and the areas behind overall performance.

  • KPI Variance
  • Trend Changes
  • Operational Exceptions

KPI Design

MEASURE WHAT MATTERS

Good dashboards begin with meaningful KPIs.

Before designing charts, we work around the business questions the dashboard needs to answer and the measurements available from the underlying data.

01

Current Performance

Understand the present position through relevant measures.

02

Trends

See how performance changes across meaningful periods.

03

Targets

Compare actual results with defined business targets.

04

Exceptions

Surface areas that may require further management review.

07

Data Sources

CONNECT BUSINESS INFORMATION

Your reporting can start where your data already lives.

The appropriate connection approach depends on the source system, data structure, environment, access, refresh requirements and Power BI configuration.

Excel
CSV Files
SQL Server
MySQL
SharePoint
Dataverse
ERP Systems
CRM Systems
REST APIs
Business Applications

02 Power Query Clean & transform
03 Data Model Relationships & structure
04 DAX Measures & calculations
05 Dashboard Insights & reporting

Refresh & Delivery

KEEP REPORTING PRACTICAL

Design the reporting approach around how your team works.

Dashboard refresh and distribution depend on the selected data sources, Power BI environment, gateway requirements, workspace setup and applicable licensing.

01

Data Refresh

Configure an appropriate refresh approach for supported data sources.

02

Workspaces

Structure Power BI content around appropriate organizational needs.

03

User Access

Plan report access according to organizational and platform requirements.

04

Report Delivery

Determine how users will access and consume the reporting experience.

Power BI sharing, refresh frequency, capacity, gateway features and other capabilities can depend on the selected Microsoft licensing and environment. Current licensing requirements should be confirmed for the intended deployment.
