Power BI Meets Microsoft Fabric
Unified Data Ecosystem

Power BI Meets Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's unified data platform, seamlessly combining data lake capabilities (OneLake), data engineering pipelines, data warehousing, and Power BI into one SaaS environment. For Cincinnati businesses already using Power BI, Fabric eliminates fragmented data repositories, simplifying storage, sharing, and governance.

Power BI Dashboards + SharePoint

A Power BI dashboard is only as reliable as what's behind it. Most teams patch it together from exports, manual refreshes, and a spreadsheet someone updates "when they get a chance" so two people pull up the same report and get two different numbers. Sunflower Lab builds Power BI dashboards that connect directly to your Cincinnati team's existing SharePoint lists and libraries, so the data stays live, permissioned, and traceable back to a single source. No exports. No shadow copies. No meeting to figure out whose number is right.

Case Study: ZinniaX

SaaS Healthcare Platform KPI Analysis Dashboards

We integrated dynamic Power BI visual structures within ZinniaX's SaaS medical tool. The dashboard streams and analyzes claim management, EMR databases, and patient histories, streamlining key medical diagnostics — the same claims-to-clinical data unification that Cincinnati's hospital systems and outpatient networks need to move faster from patient record to reimbursement.

Case Study: Core X Partners

Replacing Manual Excel Reporting Across 16 Warehouse Locations

Core X Partners runs cold storage and logistics warehouses, but its team rebuilt operational reports by hand in Excel every week — hours of manual work on numbers that were already stale by the time leadership saw them. We consolidated their warehouse management system, ERP, CRM, and payroll data into a single governed Power BI dashboard — the same consolidation approach that fits Cincinnati's CVG-area freight, distribution, and cold-storage operators running multi-site logistics networks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Power BI or Microsoft Fabric consulting for your Cincinnati business? We have answers.

Yes. Cincinnati's concentration of consumer packaged goods manufacturers and their supplier networks generates trade-promotion, retail point-of-sale, and syndicated market data (Nielsen, Circana) that typically lives in separate systems. Power BI connects directly to a trade-promotion-management platform, POS feeds, and syndicated data exports, building one dashboard that shows spend-to-sales performance by retailer and SKU instead of a monthly manual reconciliation in Excel.
Yes. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is one of the busiest cargo airports in North America, home to Amazon Air's largest hub and a major DHL Americas operation. We build Power BI dashboards that pull sortation-volume, on-time-departure, and dock-utilization data from warehouse and logistics systems into a single live view, replacing the shift-report spreadsheets most sortation and fulfillment operators still rely on.
Yes. With Fifth Third Bank headquartered in Cincinnati and a dense network of regional banks and credit unions across the metro, examiner-ready reporting is a recurring need. Power BI connects to core-banking and loan-origination systems, applies row-level security by branch or business line, and keeps a full activity log — so branch-performance and portfolio-risk dashboards hold up under an OCC or FDIC exam instead of being rebuilt from spreadsheets every cycle.
Yes. Cincinnati's pediatric and academic medical centers run clinical operations alongside NIH-funded research and grant reporting, usually tracked in separate systems. Power BI unifies EHR, scheduling, and grant/study-management data into HIPAA-aware dashboards with row-level security, so clinical operations leaders and research administrators work from the same governed data instead of monthly manual exports built department by department.
Yes — this is usually the first thing we check. Power BI and Microsoft Fabric connect to core-banking platforms, loan-origination systems, and trade-promotion-management tools through native connectors or Data Factory pipelines, rather than requiring a rebuild of the underlying system. A Cincinnati bank or CPG supplier keeps its existing platform; the dashboard reads live from it, so the numbers match what's actually in the source system.
Yes, by request. Sunflower Lab has no physical Cincinnati office — delivery runs remotely from our US-based team in Hilliard, Ohio, about 100 miles north, and Somerset, New Jersey, with no offshore handoff. Most Cincinnati engagements run entirely on video calls for discovery, data review, and dashboard training, but an in-person kickoff or milestone review can be scheduled on request rather than built into every engagement by default.
Most Cincinnati engagements run four to eight weeks, depending on the number of source systems and whether Microsoft Fabric migration is in scope. A single-source retail POS or branch-reporting dashboard moves toward the faster end; a multi-entity build pulling from core-banking, ERP, and grant-management systems at once takes longer to model correctly. We confirm a firm timeline after a free data-discovery assessment, not before.
