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 businesses already using Power BI, Fabric eliminates fragmented data repositories, simplifying storage, sharing, and governance.

SharePoint Integration

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 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: 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're consolidating their warehouse management system, ERP, CRM, and payroll data into a single governed Power BI dashboard.

Case Study: MAI

Automating Shift Management with Power Apps & Power BI

MAI (Modular Assembly Innovations), an automotive sub-assembly manufacturer, was losing 100+ hours a month to manual report-building across disconnected, plant-by-plant Excel systems. Sunflower Lab built a Power Apps data-entry layer feeding governed Power BI reporting on Azure Data Lake — saving 1,200 hours of manual shift-data entry.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about our Power BI dashboard development services or Microsoft Fabric integration? We have answers.

Yes. Tampa is home to a concentration of property and casualty insurers, managing general agents (MGAs), and specialty carriers, and Power BI — Microsoft's business intelligence tool for turning raw data into interactive dashboards — is well suited to consolidating claims, underwriting, and loss-ratio data that typically lives across separate policy systems. We build dashboards that connect directly to your policy administration and claims platforms, so underwriters and actuaries see loss trends, combined ratios, and renewal risk in one view instead of exporting spreadsheets from three different systems every month.
Port Tampa Bay is Florida's largest port by tonnage, handling bulk cargo, petroleum, and container freight, and Power BI can turn terminal, vessel-scheduling, and inventory data into a single operational dashboard. We've built this exact pattern before — Core X Partners, a cold-storage and logistics operator running 16 warehouse locations, replaced a weekly manual Excel reporting process with live Power BI dashboards showing inventory position and throughput across every site. The same approach applies to a Tampa Bay logistics or freight-forwarding operation: connect your terminal, TMS, or WMS data once, and the dashboard keeps itself current.
Yes. Tampa's healthcare sector includes large hospital systems and academic medical centers running dense, multi-department data — OR utilization, bed turnover, patient throughput — that's typically siloed by department. We build Power BI dashboards that pull from your EHR, scheduling, and billing systems into one reporting layer, so operations leaders see throughput and capacity bottlenecks without waiting on a monthly report from IT. It's the same underlying pattern we've delivered for ZinniaX, a healthcare SaaS platform, where Power BI dashboards stream and analyze case-scheduling and billing data in real time.
Yes. Firms in Tampa Bay's registered investment advisor and broker-dealer community need reporting that holds up under FINRA and SEC examination — audit trails, access controls, and consistent historical snapshots rather than a dashboard that can change retroactively. Power BI supports row-level security, version history, and full activity logging, so compliance teams can see exactly who accessed which report and when. We configure these controls as part of every financial-services build, not as an add-on, so the dashboard is audit-ready from the first deployment instead of retrofitted after a review flags a gap.
Sunflower Lab doesn't have a physical office in Tampa; the nearest is our Miami office, about 280 miles south. Power BI work for Tampa Bay clients is delivered remotely by the same US-based team that handles every Power BI engagement — no offshore handoff, no outsourced subcontractor mid-project. Remote delivery hasn't limited the depth of the work: discovery calls, dashboard reviews, and stakeholder training all happen over video, and most clients find it easier to schedule than coordinating an in-person visit. If your team specifically wants an in-person kickoff, we can scope that separately.
Yes. Guidewire and Duck Creek — the two most common policy administration platforms among Tampa's P&C insurers and MGAs — both expose data through APIs or direct database connections that Power BI can query, so claims, premium, and policy data don't have to be manually exported before they're usable in a dashboard. We connect Power BI straight to the source system rather than routing through a manual export step, which removes the lag between when a claim is entered and when it shows up in reporting. Running a different policy system? The same direct-connection approach typically still applies — tell us what you're on and we'll confirm before scoping.
Most Tampa-area Power BI engagements run 4-8 weeks from kickoff to a live dashboard, depending on how many source systems need connecting and whether the underlying data model needs cleanup before reporting can sit on top of it. A single-department dashboard pulling from one clean source — a policy administration system or a warehouse management system, for example — typically lands on the faster end; a multi-department rollout spanning claims, underwriting, and finance takes longer because the data model has to reconcile definitions across teams first. We confirm the exact timeline after a data-discovery call, not before.
