Make better decisions
Turn data into actionable insights in Power BI
Birds BI helps companies in the timber industry transform large volumes of ERP data into actionable insights, clearly visualized in Power BI reports to support better decision-making.
Our solution gives you deep insight into key business processes such as finance, procurement, sales, inventory management, and warehousing.
Control your processes with focused reporting
We understand the reporting challenges of a timber company
Reporting in the timber industry requires more than just standard dashboards—data needs to reflect the unique complexity of your operations. From procurement and inventory management to production, sales, and transport—data visibility is essential at every stage of the process.
When it comes to inventory, it’s not just about quantities, but also about length measurements, pallets, thickness, width, and stock rotation. In procurement, you need insight into wood quality, rejections, and supplier reliability. In production, factors like material yield, reusability, and waste percentages are key.
Birds BI makes data from these and other processes visible in clear reports, so you always have the right insights to effectively manage your organization.
