Power BI
Dashboards
Is your business running on gut feeling or hard data? If you are still relying on monthly Excel reports that take three days to compile and are out of date the moment they are printed, you are flying blind.
Power BI is Microsoft's world-leading business intelligence tool. It connects to your existing systems (Xero, Sage, HubSpot, Salesforce, Excel) and visualizes your data in real-time. At Data Point Digital, we build custom dashboards that tell you exactly what is happening in your business, right now.
The "One Truth" Principle
In most NI businesses, Sales has one spreadsheet, Finance has another, and Operations has a third. None of them match. Power BI creates a "Single Source of Truth" so everyone is looking at the same numbers.
What We Build
1. The Sales Velocity Dashboard
For Sales Directors who need to know:
"How much revenue is in the pipeline?"
"What is our quote-to-close ratio this month vs last month?"
"Which sales rep is underperforming?"
We visualize your funnel stages, conversion rates, and forecasted revenue, allowing you to intervene before you miss a target.
2. Financial Health Monitoring
Connect directly to Xero or QuickBooks to see your cash flow, aged debtors, and profit margins in real-time. No more waiting for the end-of-month management accounts. See your daily burn rate and cash runway instantly.
3. Operational Efficiency
For manufacturing and logistics clients, we track inventory levels, delivery times, and waste metrics. Identify bottlenecks in your production line or supply chain instantly with visual "Red/Amber/Green" indicators.
Why Choose Data Point Digital?
We aren't just IT technicians who know how to code. We are commercial consultants. We understand why you need the data.
A technician will ask: "What columns do you want in this chart?"
We ask: "What decision are you trying to make with this data?"
We design dashboards that answer business questions, not just display pretty charts. We ensure the data is clean, accurate, and structured in a way that drives profit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Microsoft License?
Yes, you will typically need a Power BI Pro license (£7.50/user/month) from Microsoft. We can help you set this up and configure your workspace.
Can it connect to my legacy system?
Usually, yes. If your system can export to Excel/CSV or has an API, Power BI can read it. We specialize in "ETL" (Extract, Transform, Load) to clean up messy data from old systems.
Is it secure?
Extremely. Power BI uses Microsoft's enterprise-grade security. You control exactly who sees what data (e.g., Sales reps only see their own figures, Directors see everything).
