The Requirement

Currently the client is using Viewpoint, a software designed specifically for handling and reporting operations for construction business, be it financial or resource ops.

Due to its limitations in user experience/interactivity, the client was looking for a more user-friendly driven reporting process.

They were also looking to leverage their data in a way that would shift their existing reporting process from Viewpoint to Power BI and further enhance it.

The requirements were to replicate their existing reports in Viewpoint and to create analytics reports in Power BI that would showcase their current financial standings in different aspects of their business.

The Challenge

Although their business logic to replicate the reports was straightforward and non-complex, the way it was incorporated/achieved and the tools available within Power BI were causing increased loading times and sluggish user experience.

The Solution

  • The client-provided dataset contained a large volume of data and was scaled down to keep only relevant columns.
  • The business logic required to create the reports involved a lot of calculations resulting in time expensive processing. It was resolved by improving the method of implementing the business logic which resulted in less loading times.
  • Some of the dashboards required calculations based on static values. These values were captured in a column to return immediate results.
