Executive Operational Power BI Dashboard

Project Objective We are building a complete reporting environment that connects our operational SQL database to a clean, intuitive Power BI reporting suite designed for two primary audiences: 1. Executive Leadership – high-level commercial insights and company performance 2. Operational Managers – actionable operational metrics and drill-downs The goal is to transform raw operational data into clear, reliable decision-making dashboards that update automatically and can be trusted across the organization. The final solution should deliver real-time business intelligence including revenue performance, operational activity, and commercial trends. ⸻ Data Environment Source System SQL Server operational database containing: • Sales transactions • Customers • Products • Orders • Inventory • Operational metrics The database is currently not structured for reporting, so part of this project includes building a reporting layer optimized for analytics. ⸻ Project Scope 1.
