Power BI Dashboards for Business Central in Singapore
Beyond the Built-In Reports
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central comes with Power BI content built in, and it's a reasonable place to start. It's also generic by design — it doesn't know your dimensions, your chart of accounts, or the numbers your board actually asks for. We build the layer that does.

Do You Even Need This? Business Central Already Has Standard Reports
Sometimes you don't. If you're running standard processes on a standard chart of accounts and the built-in reports answer your questions, use them. They're free and they work.
Where they run out is specific and predictable. The built-in content is designed to work for every Business Central customer, which means it can't be designed for yours.
It doesn't know your dimensions.
It stops at Business Central's edge.
Customising it isn't quicker than building it.

What's in the Five Dashboards
Five finance views, not five generic templates — each built to your chart of accounts and reading from the same model, so the numbers reconcile. Click through to see what each one covers.
Financial Performance
P&L against budget, sliced by your dimensions — department, project, location, however you've set them up — with drill-through to the entries behind any figure.
Cash Position
Inflows, outflows, commitments, and what that means for the weeks ahead.
Receivables & Collections
Ageing by customer, days sales outstanding, and a working list of who to chase.
Balance Sheet
Position over time rather than a point-in-time snapshot, with movement visible.

Getting the Data Across
Business Central
Power BI
Business Central sits in the Microsoft stack, so the connection is the straightforward part. We set it up as either an API connection or a scheduled extract, depending on how current your numbers need to be and how your IT team prefers to work.
If Connecting Is Easy, What Are We Paying For?
Dimension modelling
Mapping how you actually use Business Central's dimensions, so analysis by department or project works properly instead of approximately.
Chart of accounts logic
Your groupings, your subtotals, your reporting hierarchy, not a generic set.
Bringing in what isn't in Business Central
The systems and spreadsheets that hold half the answer.
Making it survive change
A model that doesn't break when someone adds a dimension value next quarter.
Handover
Your team owning it, not depending on us.
