Power BI is a Microsoft solution for creating and enhancing reports.


Consistent, clear & cheaper than a TMS
"One treasurer explains that he was looking to achieve a central view across a large number of bank accounts, but that a TMS was deemed too expensive and time-consuming to implement because of the company’s structure.
He therefore approached his IT team with a simple business problem: how could all of the bank balances be accessed in one place, with bank data available on a weekly basis?
'The conclusion was that we could combine the use of a front-end app with a data warehouse, and use Power BI to sit across the top of it to do the reporting,' the treasurer explains.
'The reporting we get through Power BI is consistent, clear, and easy to manipulate and derive bespoke reports from – and way cheaper than using a TMS.'"
