Power BI consulting

Turn recurring reporting into a reliable management view

Common starting point

Monthly reporting is assembled from several spreadsheets, CSV exports or operational systems. Cleaning and reconciliation take longer than the analysis, and different teams may calculate the same KPI differently.

What FlowNorth can build

  • Power Query transformations that clean and combine repeatable sources.
  • Structured Power BI models with consistent KPI logic and DAX measures.
  • Management dashboards, trend reporting and exception views.
  • Documentation and handover so the reporting process is understandable.
Dashboard Starterfrom £750

Focused Power BI dashboard for an existing spreadsheet or business dataset.

  • Up to 2 data sources
  • Up to 3 pages & 12 agreed KPIs
  • Review round + handover
Typical delivery1–2 weeks
Reporting Transformationfrom £1,500

Multi-source reusable reporting model for management and operational reporting.

  • Typically up to 4 data sources
  • Up to 6 pages & 25 agreed KPIs
  • Trend, drill-through & exception reporting
Typical delivery2–4 weeks
Power Automate consulting

Remove repetitive admin and unreliable email hand-offs

Before

Work depends on people remembering

  • Requests arrive through different channels.
  • Approvals and reminders are chased manually.
  • Teams copy information between emails and trackers.
  • There is limited visibility of where work has stalled.
After

Workflow moves consistently

  • Power Automate routes requests and approvals.
  • Notifications and reminders happen at agreed points.
  • Status can update from the process rather than manual chasing.
  • Exception handling makes failures visible instead of silent.

One clearly defined repetitive process such as a request, approval, reminder or notification.

Typical delivery3–7 working days
Workflow Automation Packfrom £1,200

End-to-end workflow with related stages, approvals, reminders and team hand-offs.

Typical delivery2–3 weeks
Power Apps consulting

Replace shared spreadsheets with a controlled operational app

Useful when

  • Several people edit the same operational tracker.
  • Different roles need different actions or information.
  • Records need validation, status rules or date checks.
  • The process needs to feed reporting or automation from the same data.

Typical approach

  • Map the workflow and responsibilities first.
  • Choose SharePoint Lists or Dataverse as appropriate.
  • Build a Canvas App around the real user journey.
  • Add Power Automate and Power BI only where they improve the process.

Questions

Frequently asked before a first conversation

Do we need to know which Microsoft tool we need?

No. Start with the business problem. FlowNorth can work out whether the useful next step is reporting, automation, an app, or a smaller process change.

Can you work with existing Excel and Microsoft 365?

Yes. Many projects begin with Excel, SharePoint, Lists or existing Microsoft 365 processes and improve them rather than replacing everything.

Do you only work with Aberdeen organisations?

No. FlowNorth is based in Aberdeen and supports organisations across Scotland and the wider UK, with remote discovery and delivery where appropriate.

Is the starting price the final quote?

The website prices are starting points for typical scopes. Deliverables, assumptions, timescale and the fixed quotation are confirmed before project work begins.
