Challenges

Business intelligence software consolidates data. However, in the absence of a data analytics solution, they struggle to gain insights to discover important measures and classify patterns to acclimatize quickly to the evolving business dynamics.

Our client generates a massive amount of data, but they do not have a way to merge, visualize or report it. This led to operational challenges like manual and lengthy reporting methods that were prone to errors. They had nominal visibility into their oil terminal and depot operations. They wanted to gain insights from their operational data into their finance, transportation, maintenance and energy consumption divisions. Also, they had no information to identify, analyze and control potential hazards at oil terminals and depots.

Solutions

Our team analyzed the client’s needs and their operational processes. We integrated Power BI with their external data sources, Dynamics 365 CRM, ERP and other connected processes. Power BI helps our client to analyze data from multiple sources. Power BI energy consumption dashboards show how much power is being used over time and what their usage patterns look like. This helps them understand where they need to concentrate their efforts to minimize costs and increase efficiency.

Power BI allows them to easily share these dashboards with their team members and stakeholders. They can then use the information to make better business decisions about future investments and modify current processes.

Power BI provides real-time insights into their usage patterns and helps them identify trends and anomalies that would otherwise go unnoticed. It has enabled them to gain valuable insight into their operations. They can now monitor their performance and compare it against industry benchmarks.

Power BI for energy sector has also given them the ability to visualize complex data sets and make them easier to understand. Their teams no longer need to spend hours sifting through hundreds of pages of reports to find the information they want.

The solution helps them to:

  • Analyze data efficiently
  • Use existing solutions resourcefully without modifications
  • Evaluate and analyze several resources easily
  • Utilize advanced graphical user interfaces
  • Empower the workforce to perform analysis independently
