About Client

The primary objective of creating this Power BI dashboard is to streamline the monitoring for shipping industry. By visualizing key metrics such as open and close order, yearly order intake, client retention reasons, product specific order trends, the dashboard offers valuable insights for optimizing order management and client relationships and support informed decision-making and strategic planning.

The core challenges

Diverse data sources

The industry operated across multiple marine sectors, generating data from ship management, crew statistics, safety compliance and operational metrics. Integrating and standardizing this diverse data for analysis required extensive use of Power Query Editor to transform and cleanse raw data from multiple sources before loading it into Power Bi datasets.

Dynamic operational metric

The marine industry involves various dynamic metrics, such as ship performance and crew availability, which changes frequently. Developing measures and visualizations that adapts to these shifting metrics required creating flexible DAX formulas and interactive dashboard elements to provide real-time insights.

Data privacy and security

Ensuring the security of sensitive marine data was critical. We implemented Row-Level Security (RLS) to maintain confidentiality and integrity.

Data modelling

We build a strong data model that connects different tables of information. This ensure that all data is accurate and consistent, making it easier to analyse and make informed decisions.

Multiple slicers

We added multiple slicers to the dashboard, allowing users to filter and drill down into specific information. This makes it easy to explore detailed insights based on selected criteria.

Reset filter button

We included a reset filter button, allowing users to quickly clear all applied filters. This makes it easy to explore different data views and insights by resetting and selecting new filters with a single click.

Data conversion

Using Power Query editor, we automated data extraction and transformation process.

Calculated measures

We developed custom calculations to provide insights that are most relevant to users. These calculated measures helps in deriving meaningful and actionable data points.

Enhancement. By adding useful features.

Condition Formatting

Dynamic modifications such as changing the background colors of rows based on specific conditions.

Tooltips

Tooltips provide extra details and keep the right filters in place, helping users to get deeper insights.

Buttons

Users can easily switch between different location reports by clicking buttons, making it simple to view specific data.

Synchronizing slicers

Slicers are synced across all pages, so filters stay the same as users move through different tabs, keeping everything consistent.

Slicers

Different slicers let user pick specific categories, instantly showing the related data in the KPIs for easy exploration.

Bookmarking

The bookmarking feature allows users to switch between different visuals for various information while staying on the same dashboard tab, making it easy to compare data without navigating away.

Refresh button

Users can easily clear all the filters by clicking the refresh icon, allowing them to rest the dashboard and start a new analysis.
