The data is already there, in your accounting software, your CRM and your spreadsheets. Pulling it together takes hours. It is out of date by the time it is ready, and two people running the same report get two different answers.
Power BI fixes all three. It pulls from each source on a schedule, applies the same definitions every time, and puts the result behind one link.
Every dashboard is built to your data, your terminology and your decisions. We do not start from a generic template.
Monthly manual reporting replaced by a live P&L, cash flow and budget against actuals view your finance director opens in one click.
Output, capacity, quality and efficiency across one site or several, without waiting for yesterday's numbers.
Your CRM connected so revenue, conversion rates, pipeline health and individual performance sit in one live view.
Headcount, absence, turnover and cost, presented clearly for board decisions without anyone compiling it by hand.
Stock levels, supplier performance and fulfilment tracked as they change. No spreadsheet updates before the morning meeting.
Which projects, clients and teams actually make money, so resourcing decisions rest on real figures rather than instinct.
The complaint we hear most about Power BI is that the dashboards look impressive and nobody uses them. The reason is usually the same. The dashboard was built around the data that was available rather than the decisions that needed making. The result is charts for the sake of charts, numbers without context and filters nobody knows how to use.
So before we write any DAX, we talk about the decisions the dashboard has to support. We find out who opens it and which question they are trying to answer. We agree what a good week looks like against a bad one, and what someone needs to see to know whether to act.
That conversation shapes the rest. It decides which data we connect, how we model it, what goes on the main view and what sits behind a filter. The result is a dashboard your team opens because it tells them something useful, and one that is still in use after the first week.
We start with what you need to know and work back to the data, rather than charting whatever data happens to exist.
Your team opens it every morning because it tells them something useful, not because someone said they should.
It refreshes from your actual systems on a schedule. It is never a static screenshot of last month.
A walkthrough and written documentation, so your team can use it on their own from the first day.
A single dashboard built on data you already hold in a system such as Xero or a CRM typically costs £550 to £1,000. Reporting across several sources with a data model behind it usually runs £1,000 to £3,500.
The cost is driven by how many systems have to be joined and how clean the data is when it arrives. The number of charts makes little difference. After the call we come back within 48 hours with a fixed scope, price and delivery date.
For a figure without a call, the build estimator itemises one in two minutes.
Nothing is paid up front. You watch the finished thing work with your own data, and only then do you pay. No deposit and no retainer. How the process works →
A single dashboard built on data you already have in a system such as Xero or a CRM typically costs £550 to £1,000. Reporting across several sources with a data model behind it usually runs £1,000 to £3,500. The cost is driven by how many systems have to be joined and how clean the data is, not by the number of charts.
Most dashboards are delivered in 5 to 10 working days from the agreed quote. A single source on clean data can be faster. Builds joining several systems with more modelling take a little longer. Much of the time goes on agreeing what each number means, which is the part people underestimate. The timeline is in the fixed-price quote.
Power BI Desktop is free to build in. Sharing a report with colleagues needs a Power BI Pro licence for each person who views it, at around £10 per user per month from Microsoft. For a small team that is usually the whole licensing cost. We advise on the cheapest setup that works on the call.
Yes. All three accounting packages can feed Power BI, either through their APIs or a scheduled export. Xero is the most straightforward because its API is well documented. Sage varies a lot depending on which Sage product you run. Power BI also reads Excel, SQL databases, SharePoint, Google Sheets and most CRMs, and we confirm your sources on the call.
Most clients come to us with imperfect data. That is normal and it does not stop the project. Cleaning and reshaping the data is part of the build, and we flag any structural problems that need fixing first before we quote.
That is the aim. We design for the people who will open it every day, not only the person who commissioned it. Every project ends with a walkthrough and written documentation.
Yes. All work is delivered remotely, for businesses across the UK. Location has never been a problem for any of our clients.
