Power BI Implementation: Ready-Made Reports or Custom Development — What Suits Your Business
Every week, the CFO spends 4–6 hours consolidating reports from Excel. Data from CRM, ERP, and accounting lives in separate files. When management asks "how did we perform this month?" — the analyst isn't ready to answer yet.
This is not a problem with a specific person. This is a problem with the tool.
Microsoft Power BI solves it: data from all systems in one place, reports update automatically, without manual work. But the next question arises: how to implement it correctly?
Two Paths: Ready-Made Solution or Custom Development
The choice of format depends on where your company stands right now and how specific your business processes are.
Quick Start
Box Reports
Ready-made dashboard sets for sales, finance, logistics, and production. Connection to Dynamics 365, 1C, Excel, SharePoint — in 1–2 weeks.
- Industry-standard KPIs — no development from scratch
- First results in the first month
- Fixed, predictable cost
- Suitable for 60–70% of companies
Tailored to Your Logic
Custom Development
Analytics from scratch — from data model to final dashboard. For non-standard processes, complex data sources, unique KPIs.
- Audit of data sources and business processes
- Reports tailored to your real logic — not templates
- Training for internal analysts
- Post-launch support
Why Companies Choose Progresia Over Self-Implementation
Power BI is a Microsoft tool, and technically any IT specialist can configure it. But there's a significant difference between "configure" and "implement so that people actually use it."
Progresia holds official Microsoft certification for Power BI and Power Platform, with implementation experience at companies ranging from 50 to 1,000+ employees. We know the typical pitfalls when connecting to Dynamics 365, 1C, SAP — and we don't repeat them.
What the Implementation Process Looks Like

Solution Agreement
We show a prototype or demo of the ready report — before the main work begins. You understand the expected result in advance.
Connection and Setup
We integrate Power BI with your systems and configure automatic data updates.
Team Training
We conduct hands-on training: analysts and managers receive a tool they can actually use confidently.

What Can Be Automated Right Now
Power BI is a fit for any function where data exists and regular monitoring is needed:
Pipeline, plan fulfillment, manager performance
P&L, cash flow, accounts receivable
Capacity loading, SLA, process efficiency
Turnover, KPI fulfillment, personnel cost structure
Campaign ROI, cost per lead, channel conversion
Delivery times, stock levels, warehouse turnover
If you have this data — Power BI can turn it into a dashboard that updates itself.
