Our Solution
Our team of Power BI experts and developers immediately looked into the issue and suggested these efficient solutions.
Seamless Power BI Integration
Our team created Power BI reports and embedded them into the client’s website so that the client’s team did not have to open the Power BI app separately.
Automated Reporting with SSAS
Our team created reports using SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) data with a live connection. SSAS runs in the background to fetch data from multiple servers and create a JOB Agent that offers updated data on daily basis.
Secure Data Access with Power BI
The Power BI service was also used to map the user in Gateways.
Interactive Dashboard for Multi-Plant Operations
The client has different plants and companies for design and printing services, our developers created a dashboard where the user could easily select the respective company, plant, and see the graphical report.
Dedicated Section for Key Business Data
Our solution also provided a well curated data report for order, shipment, and invoice data in a separate section.
Controlled Access to Sensitive Data
We assured the company data security by using Power BI APIs to limit access to the reports to licensed Power BI accounts.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
