The goal of developing a business intelligence dashboard for office furniture makers is to provide executives with insightful information so they can make wise decisions and boost revenue growth and we made it user friendly so that the client obtain vital information, they can easily see the trends, evaluate performance indicators, and react quickly to changes in the market.
The core challenges
Resolving issues with delayed data delivery and customizing data modelling to fit specific business needs.
- Legacy system replaced with bI: A move towards more dynamic, interactive, and data-driven reporting and analysis is represented by the switch from SSRS to Power BI, enabling enterprises to extract more value from their datasets.
- Slow retrieval of data from SQL databases: Since we had a lot of data and complicated queries, we experienced problems swiftly transferring data from our SQL database into Power BI. In order to obtain data more quickly, we attempted to use AAS cubes. Our issues with data retrieval were resolved and processes were considerably faster when we linked Power BI straight to these cubes rather than via SQL.
- Data modelling: We have implemented strong data modelling techniques within Power BI which involves structuring and organizing the data in a way that ensures optimal analysis and visualization capabilities within the reports and dashboards.
- Automated process replaced manual flow: Using automated processes instead of manual ones has simplified things. Making this adjustment decreases errors and saves time. All things considered, it increases our productivity and aids in producing superior outcomes.
- Dax optimized: Increased the effectiveness of our Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) to expedite the processing of data.
SolutionAn AAS cube served as the basis for a Power BI report that we generated. It is our primary tool for making informed decisions, and this report provides us with an in-depth analysis of our business performance. Data allows us to evaluate our performance, make wiser decisions, and maintain our competitive edge. We can examine key metrics in detail and compare them to industry norms using the Metric Explorer tab, which aids in our ongoing progress. All things considered, these tools support us in making strategic decisions and gradually enhancing our output.
