The impact of business intelligence in smaller businesses
The impact of business intelligence in smaller businesses
Business intelligence has fundamentally changed how companies analyse and use their financial data. More and more smaller businesses use BI tools such as Power BI to collect, analyse and visualise their financial data and their KPIs. The benefits are considerable: better decisions, greater efficiency, savings in time and cost, and an edge over the competition. Here is more on what Power BI offers a smaller business, and why it may be worth your while.
What Power BI offers a smaller business
Here are the main trends and developments in data analysis:
- Better decisions: Power BI lets you integrate and visualise data from different sources, which gives better insight into the company's financial data. That helps you decide better and faster, from facts and figures rather than from intuition.
- Time saved: Automating the reporting and analysis process saves a great deal of valuable time. You no longer collect, process and analyse data by hand, which leaves more time for the work that matters.
- Greater efficiency: Power BI lets you consolidate and organise your company data in one central place, so the information you need is quick and easy to reach. That raises productivity and lets people decide faster.
- Better communication: Power BI offers clear visualisations you can share with colleagues and clients.
- Lower cost: Power BI is relatively affordable compared with other BI tools on the market, which makes it a good fit for smaller businesses. Using BI can also cut cost by exposing inefficient processes and improving how the business runs.
- A competitive edge: BI tools give smaller businesses an edge over competitors still relying on manual processes and intuition. That can mean a better position in the market and better opportunities to grow.

For many smaller businesses, BI tools are new. That is why we built a financial dashboard and a liquidity forecast, as an easy way to get a feel for what they do.
