Here are the 4 core Power BI
reports that Professional Services Organizations
should focus on to produce maximum ROI
Billable Allocation Report
With Power BI, billable allocation report will give you an overview of all the resources (employees) at work and determine exactly for how many days and hours they are billable (occupied). The table demonstrates the billable allocation report for future weeks. The green, red and yellow colours determine the percentage of the allocations where you can set your own criteria. For example, here, the criteria are green colour for more than 80% allocation, yellow colour for allocation percentage between 50-80% and lastly, red colour indicates the resource is allocated only below 50%. This suggests the red ones can be allocated with new tasks. Not only this, this will also help you determine if there is a new hiring required for fulfilling upcoming projects.
Accounts Receivable (AR) Report
An accounts receivable report is a record that shows the outstanding invoice balances along with the duration. This report helps businesses identify invoices that are open and allows them to keep on top of their payments from their clients. Using Power BI, you can use accounts receivable reports to monitor and analyze information related to your AR invoices. Guess what!
