Connect Power BI
Power BI builds reports and dashboards on a dataset, but your Bol.com sales sit in a portal Power BI does not simply ingest. So you model on manual exports that keep going stale. Schakel brings the sales data from Bol.com and your webshop into a source Power BI can ingest, so your revenue, orders and products sit in a dataset that keeps your dashboards current.
What travels with Power BI
-
Orders in your dataset
Every order arrives as a row with amount, products, date and channel in the source your Power BI model runs on.
-
Revenue per channel and period
Sales from Bol.com and your webshop come together, so you can compare per channel and period in your model.
-
Products and order value
Product lines and order value come along, so you can measure margin, top sellers and average order.
Why connect Power BI
- Model on a current dataset, no manual exports.
- Your Bol.com revenue is in your Power BI reports too.
- Compare channels, products and periods in one model.
- Less time spent gathering and cleaning figures.
