Talk to a Power BI consultant

HabileLabs builds Power BI reporting on Microsoft Fabric. We bring data from your business systems into one place, model it once, and publish dashboards that refresh on their own, with access controlled per team. We are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data & AI.

Where Reporting Breaks Down

Most reporting problems are data problems that show up in the dashboard. The usual signs:

  • Reports rebuilt by hand in Excel every month
  • Numbers that differ between teams for the same measure
  • Refreshes that fail or take hours
  • Data spread across ERP, CRM and spreadsheets with no single source
  • No control over who can see which report

A better dashboard alone does not fix these. The data underneath has to be fixed too.

What You Get from a Power BI and Fabric Project

One Version of the Numbers

Measures defined once in a shared semantic model, so every report agrees.

Reports That Refresh Themselves

Scheduled refreshes from your source systems instead of monthly copy and paste.

Data in One Place

Business systems brought together in a Fabric lakehouse or warehouse on OneLake.

Dashboards People Use

Reports designed around the decisions each team makes.

Access by Role

Row-level security and workspace roles so people see only what they should.

A Team That Can Run It

Training and handover so your analysts can change reports without us.

The data engineering behind the dashboards

Power BI is only as good as the data under it. Our Data Engineering and Data Analytics & BI services build the pipelines and models that keep reports accurate.

Who Power BI and Fabric Are For

A reporting project pays off most in these situations.

Finance Teams Living in Excel

Month-end reporting rebuilt by hand from system exports.

Leaders Without One View

Sales, operations and finance each reporting different numbers.

Businesses with Several Systems

ERP, CRM and other systems that have never been joined up.

Existing Power BI Users

Reports that are slow, fail to refresh or nobody trusts.

Teams Moving to Microsoft Fabric

Organizations on Power BI Premium or Azure data services that are looking at Fabric.

Operations That Need Current Figures

Healthcare, manufacturing and supply chain teams whose numbers are out of date by the time they are reported.

How We Work

Each project starts from the decisions you need to support and works back to the data behind them.

  • Discover: we list the decisions your teams make, the reports behind them and the systems the data comes from.

  • Model: we bring the data into Fabric, clean it, and build one semantic model with agreed definitions.

  • Build: we design the reports and dashboards, with row-level security and scheduled refresh.

  • Hand over: we train your analysts and document the model so your team can extend it.

Power BI and Microsoft Fabric FAQs

Do we need Microsoft Fabric to use Power BI?
No. Power BI works on its own with Pro or Premium Per User licenses. Fabric adds a shared data platform (pipelines, a lakehouse or warehouse, and OneLake storage) that becomes useful when data comes from several systems or volumes grow.
How long until the first dashboard?
It depends on how ready your data is. Where the source data is clean, a first report can come early in the project; where systems need joining up, the data model comes first. We give you a timeline after discovery.
Which systems can you connect?
Power BI and Fabric connect to most databases, cloud applications and files through built-in connectors, including SQL Server, Excel, SharePoint, Salesforce and SAP. We confirm the connection method for each of your systems during discovery.
Who owns the reports after handover?
You do. Reports, models and data stay in your Microsoft tenant, and we train your team to maintain them.
Which licenses do we need?
People who build and share reports need Power BI Pro or Premium Per User. Viewers need Pro too, unless the content sits on a Fabric capacity of F64 or above, where users with a free license can view it.
What is Microsoft Fabric?
Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's analytics platform. It combines data integration, data engineering, warehousing and Power BI in one service, with all data stored in OneLake.
