In-depth data-insights for PrintVis users
You need deep insights into your data to make better decisions.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with the PrintVis extension is designed to process transactions quickly and efficiently, but not to develop extensive reports.
It falls short when you need to combine various data types across different dimensions and perform comprehensive analyses over longer periods.
Birds BI enables these advanced analyses in Microsoft Power BI. The Birds data platform unlocks, processes, enriches, and structures your data, making it available in Power BI with out-of-the-box D365 BC and PrintVis dashboards.
Content Packs
Birds BI for PrintVis comes with our Content Packs for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. They provide approximately 85% of the data you need from BC.
For the remaining 15% that is specific to your business, our consultants work with you to set it up.
This gives you a head start, allowing you to access your data in Power BI within days instead of months.

Data model
The Birds BI data model contains structured and modeled data from Microsoft Dynamics and can be enriched with data from other source systems for each client.
The model makes all data available in Power BI as facts and dimensions with logical names. Using the drag-and-drop interface, you can easily transform the data into visual representations.
The Birds BI data model ensures a single source of truth within your organization; definitions are centrally calculated and recorded, and data from all systems is enriched with business logic.
This way, every department uses the same data, definitions, and calculations in their Power BI reports.
