Your Entire Operation in a Single View
Plenty of business owners and managers in Pulborough and West Sussex lose hours every month moving numbers from one system into a spreadsheet, only for those figures to be stale by the time the meeting begins. Microsoft Power BI links straight to your data and updates interactive charts and tables without anyone lifting a finger.
As your Power BI consultant, we begin with the decisions you have to make rather than the software. We then create dashboards for sales, finance, operations or customer activity, and connect them to your wider Microsoft 365 setup so the right insight lands with the right people.

The benefits
What Power BI Dashboards Do for Business
Effective reporting frees up time and leads to better choices. Here are the gains our clients tend to spot straight away.
A single source of truth
Pull your sales, finance, stock and customer data into one report, which ends the debate over whose spreadsheet holds the correct numbers.
Up to date when it matters
Your dashboards update on a timetable you set, so every meeting looks at today's performance rather than figures from weeks ago.
Less time on month end
Reporting that runs itself takes away the manual copy, paste and tidy up work that once swallowed the last days of each month.
Role-based visibility
Everyone sees only the numbers that matter to their job, secured by the same sign in and protections that cover the rest of your Microsoft 365 environment.
Data sources
Works With the Software You Run Today
Power BI can read from a broad mix of data sources, so replacing your current systems is seldom necessary. We set up the connections, clean the data and schedule the refreshes, leaving you with a dashboard that maintains itself.
Your reports can prompt action too. Paired with Power Automate, a number that passes a set limit can fire off an alert or assign a task to the relevant person.
- SharePoint lists and Excel spreadsheets
- Finance, accounts and inventory packages
- Sales platforms and CRM software
- Databases such as SQL Server and Azure
- Marketing and website analytics data
- Teams and Microsoft 365 for alerts and sharing

Frequently asked questions
Common Microsoft Power BI Questions in West Sussex
What exactly does Power BI do?
Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence software. It takes information from your various systems and presents it as interactive dashboards and reports that you can filter, drill into and share with your team.
Can a small business get value from Power BI?
Absolutely. There is no need for an in-house data team. A handful of carefully built dashboards on sales, cash flow or day to day operations can have a real impact on a smaller firm.
What can Power BI pull data from?
Excel, SharePoint, a wide range of accounting and CRM software, SQL databases, Azure and many cloud services. Let us know which systems you run and we will confirm what can be linked.
What does Power BI cost?
Power BI Desktop is free for creating reports, although sharing them across your team normally requires paid licences. As Microsoft adjusts pricing from time to time, we review the current plans and suggest the best value option.
How frequently is the data updated?
That is up to you. Daily or multiple refreshes a day are common, depending on the data source and licence, and certain data can refresh close to continuously.
How is our information protected?
Sign in runs through Microsoft 365, and we can restrict exactly what each user is able to view. We also check how any data is shared with people outside your organisation.
Will our team find it easy to use?
Training uses your own reports, so everything covered is directly relevant. Once shown how to filter and explore, most staff are comfortable with the dashboards very quickly.
Can you help businesses beyond Pulborough?
We can. Our clients are spread across West Sussex and further afield. Most of the work is done remotely, with on-site workshops arranged where they add value.
