When Clients Call Us Urgently

If one of these sounds familiar, this is where we step in.

We start with a review of your sources, current reports, and model, then give you a written plan.

Every Team Has a Different Number for Revenue

Separate spreadsheets and reports define metrics differently. We build one governed data model with agreed measures, so everyone reads the same figures. Meetings stop turning into arguments about data.

Reports Are Slow or Time Out

Poor models and heavy visuals slow Power BI down. We reshape the data into a star schema, tune the DAX, and choose import or DirectQuery on purpose. Slow reports stop people using them.

Refreshes Fail and Nobody Notices Until Monday

Expired credentials and gateway problems cause silent failures. We set up gateways, scheduled refresh, and alerts, and record who owns each source. Decisions stop being made on stale numbers.

Everyone Sees Everything, or Nobody Sees Enough

We set row-level security and workspace roles so each person sees the right data, and we review access regularly. Wrong access risks sensitive data and hurts adoption.

Power BI Development Services

Six kinds of Power BI work we deliver, from a first dashboard to a governed model.

Dashboard and Report Development

Dashboards built around the decisions your teams make, with clear visuals and drill-through.

Data Modeling and DAX

Security, Governance, and Refresh

Training and Support

Case Studies

DHE Parts Admin Portal

eCommerce / Auto & Equipment Parts

DHE Parts does the hard part well – distributing roughly 200,000 SKUs of heavy-equipment components to fleet operators and dealer networks. The ERP wasn’t carrying its weight: quote-to-order handoff lost information constantly, and vendor price updates were a two-week manual project run by hand across dozens of sheets.

Book Your Notary

Legal / Notary Services

Book Your Notary does the hard part well – connecting customers with a bilingual notary team for documents that need remote notarization. The old process wasn’t carrying its weight: arranging in-person appointments turned a simple requirement into a recurring hassle, without cutting the corners that make notarization valid.

Clutch Up does the hard part well – bringing the fantasy sports format users already understand into competitive esports tournaments. The platform wasn’t carrying its weight yet: tournament and player data needed to stay accurate in real time, and esports rosters change mid-event in ways traditional fantasy models don’t handle.

FAQs

How Much Does Power BI Cost?

There are two costs. Microsoft charges for Power BI licenses, and the price depends on the license type and plan, so check Microsoft’s current Power BI pricing. Development is separate: it depends on sources, model complexity, dashboards, and security. We scope it individually and send an itemized proposal.

How Long Does a Power BI Project Take?

It depends on the number of data sources, how clean the data is, model complexity, and dashboards needed. We give a timeline after scoping and split it into milestones, so you review draft reports early. A first dashboard on clean data ships sooner than a full governed model.

How Will We Review Dashboards While They Are Being Built?

Draft reports are shared in your Power BI workspace, so real users can test them. We agree overlap hours at kickoff and report through Slack, email, and video calls. Syndell has offices in Middletown, Delaware, Manchester, UK, and Ahmedabad, India.

Does Power BI Have AI Features, and Do We Need Them?

Power BI visualizations include built-in AI visuals such as Key influencers and Decomposition tree. Copilot is separate: it needs a paid Fabric or Premium capacity and admin approval, and it is not supported on Premium Per User or trial capacity. We build the data model first, because AI answers depend on it.

How Do You Keep Power BI Data Secure?

We use workspace roles and row-level security so people see only their data, limit who can share and export, and secure gateways and credentials. We also review access regularly. Syndell is ISO 27001 certified, and security checks are part of each sprint.

Can You Rebuild Our Excel Reports in Power BI?

Yes. We review each report, agree the definitions behind every number, rebuild them on a clean model, and check results against the spreadsheet. The new reports refresh on a schedule, so nobody copies and pastes data by hand, and everyone reads the same figures each week.

Should We Use Power BI or Tableau?

Power BI suits teams already on Microsoft tools and gives strong value for broad business reporting. Tableau is often chosen for highly custom visual analysis. We build in both and recommend after reviewing your data, users, and tools. See our Tableau page.
