In addition to Business Centrals’ robust ERP functionality is the ability to extract and discern relevant, critical information for better decisions. This is enhanced greater with the “built-in” integration with Microsoft Power BI.  Microsoft Power BI accomplishes this by retrieving Business Central data allowing you to build dashboards and reports based on that information. Power BI provides a flexible alternative to reports built-in Business Central, enabling you to drill down and customize the visualization, and even merge data from different companies in Business Central. Some Power BI reports can also be embedded in Business Central and viewed without leaving the system. More complex dashboards are better experienced from the Power BI website.

To enhance business reporting and achieve better business insight even further, our developers at iCepts Technology Group have created our own Custom Power BI Dashboards that companies can fully utilize. iCepts’ Customer Power BI Reporting Dashboards for Microsoft Power BI were designed to include some of the most useful and common reporting requests that we have learned from our customers.  These Power BI reporting dashboards include Aged Accounts Receivables, Aged Accounts Payables, Top 10 Customers, Top Selling Items, and Top Vendor List.
