The goal of this Power BI dashboard is to provide real-time information on sales, inventory, customer trends, and supplier performance to industry stakeholders in the food and beverage industry. Boost productivity and gain a competitive edge by using real-time data visualization to support well-informed decision-making.
The core challenges
- Appropriate integration of data: The challenge of combining data from Excel files was solved by using an API. Our workflow was improved by using a centralized approach, which made it possible to integrate Power BI smoothly and quickly access data using SQL queries for more detailed analysis.
- Improving power bI performance: Our initial challenge was the slow performance of the Power BI dashboard due to complex data structures and large datasets, resulting in slow query execution times. To address this, we focused on enhancing dashboard responsiveness and optimizing data retrieval using DAX optimization techniques.
- Time-period data visualization: We added a new column that divided sales and ticket data by time of day so that hourly patterns could be examined. Because of this, it was simple for us to segment the data and identify trends and patterns. Better decision-making was facilitated by better visualizations.
