Power BI consulting in Phoenix, for numbers finance will sign

TechFabric is a Microsoft Solutions Partner in the Phoenix metropolitan area, with the office in Gilbert, Arizona. We build Power BI reporting for companies across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler: the semantic model underneath the reports, the refresh that runs on Databricks or Dynamics 365, and the Power Automate flows around it.

Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler

Bench

115+ people, 80 Databricks-certified

Most Power BI estates we're asked to look at have forty reports, three definitions of revenue, and one person who knows which is right. That person is usually leaving.

Why Phoenix companies work with us

The model first, the visuals second

A report is only as good as the semantic model under it. We build the model, the measures and the row-level security before anyone argues about a chart, because a wrong number in a good visual is still a wrong number.

A Microsoft Solutions Partner

Designations in Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation and Infrastructure, checkable in Partner Center. We implement Dynamics 365 Business Central and CRM, build on Azure, and take Power BI and Power Automate into production around them.

Refresh that doesn't depend on a laptop

Reports published to the Power BI service, refreshed under a service principal, reading Databricks or the ERP directly. When the report author is on holiday the numbers still arrive.

In the metro, not flying in

Gilbert is twenty minutes from Tempe and Chandler and an easy drive from the city. Working through a chart of accounts or a metric definition goes better in a room, and we can be in yours.

What power bi consulting covers here

Semantic model and DAX

Star schema, measures written once, and a definition of each number agreed with the person who owns it. The model is the product. The reports are views of it.

Power BI on Databricks

DirectQuery or import against a SQL warehouse, decided per model rather than by habit, with refresh under a service principal and Unity Catalog deciding who sees which rows.

Power BI on Dynamics 365

Reporting built on the ERP record rather than on an export somebody maintains by hand, so finance and operations read one number for stock, margin and open orders.

Power Automate and Power Apps around it

The approval that fires when a threshold is crossed, the form that writes back to the system of record. Low code where low code holds, real code where it doesn't.

Microsoft Fabric, when it fits

Fabric can mirror a Databricks catalogue and Power BI can read it through Direct Lake. We'll say which platform should hold the tables and which should read them, and we've written that argument down at /blog.

Tableau to Power BI

Workbooks inventoried, the ones nobody opens retired, the rest rebuilt on one model rather than ported one at a time. Fewer reports at the end than at the start, on purpose.

Clients we have done this for

Every one of these is written up on this site.

Financial services and lending

Origination, refinancing and servicing numbers where a figure on a slide has to survive an auditor. Auto Approve, iLending and SWBC are on this site with the work named.

Manufacturing and distribution

Stock, margin and fulfilment read off the ERP record. Funko's warehouse system runs on Business Central and the reporting reads what it holds.

B2B ecommerce

Orders flowing from the storefront through the CRM into the ERP, and reporting that reads the whole path. AmTab's modernisation ran on Dynamics 365 and Power Automate.

Consumer products

Commerce data judged on the day the traffic arrives rather than on the average day.

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Two to three weeks, fixed fee

    An assessment of the estate: every report, who opens it, which definitions disagree, and what the refresh actually depends on. It ends in a written plan you keep either way.

  2. 02

    One report, end to end

    We pick the report finance argues about most and rebuild it on a proper model, with the refresh automated and the numbers reconciled to the source. That one is the pattern for the rest.

  3. 03

    Build with your analysts

    The work runs in your tenant and your workspace, with your report authors in it from the first week. The model has to be one they can extend after we leave.

  4. 04

    Hand over with the model documented

    Every measure with its definition and its owner, the refresh schedule and the service principal that runs it, written down. The next analyst almost never gets that.

FAQ

Power BI consulting in Phoenix: common questions

Do you do Power BI consulting in Phoenix?

Yes. TechFabric is in the Phoenix metropolitan area, at 1530 E Williams Field Rd, Ste 201, Gilbert, AZ 85295, and we're a Microsoft Solutions Partner with designations in Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation and Infrastructure. We build Power BI reporting for companies across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Chandler.

Do we need to be on Databricks or Dynamics 365?

No. Power BI reads most of what a business runs on, and the model work is the same whatever sits underneath. Databricks and Dynamics 365 are where we've gone deepest, so if you're on either of them some of the work is already done.

Why do two of our reports show different revenue?

Because each report carries its own definition, usually in a measure somebody wrote under deadline. The fix is one semantic model with the measure written once and agreed with whoever owns the number, and every report reading that model. It's the first thing the assessment finds and usually the first thing we rebuild.

Should we hire a Power BI developer instead?

If you have a model you trust and need more reports on it, hire. If the model is the problem, you want people who've built the semantic layer, the refresh and the security together before, and who'll leave your analysts able to extend it. We're glad to do the smaller piece first so you can judge us on it.

How does an engagement start?

With a two-to-three-week assessment at a fixed fee, which reads the estate and comes back with a written plan. It's a complete engagement on its own and the document is yours whether or not you continue.
