Power BI reports help rental companies manage faster and better based on up-to-date numbers. Power BI is a powerful business intelligence tool from Microsoft that lets you turn company data into clear, visual insights. Within a few clicks you visualize trends, monitor KPIs and share dashboards with colleagues. On a desktop, tablet or cell phone. With the right link to your ERP system, Power BI becomes your organization's compass.
For companies working with Dysel's Equipment Life Cycle (ELC). - built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and fully integrated with the Microsoft Power Platform - Power BI is a logical and accessible extension to their data-driven way of working.
Smart Power BI reports, tailored to your industry
Rental companies work with large amounts of data every day: equipment utilization, maintenance history, work orders, invoices, customer behavior, rental contracts and object performance. This information comes from diverse processes and departments, but is centrally available within ELC in one integrated system. This creates the possibility to create an overview and make connections. Power BI then makes it possible to build powerful Power BI reports based on this consistent data set. Visually, interactively and in real time. From occupancy to service costs per object: you have a grip on your data and therefore on your business operations.
Consider, for example:
- Occupancy rate by object group or region
- Revenue and margin by customer, contract or period
- Maintenance costs relative to rental income
- Analysis of work orders and failure patterns
- Objectives per service team or site
The visualizations in Power BI are completely customizable, tailored to the information needs of different users. You decide how your data is presented; from simple graphs to interactive dashboards with multiple layers. Every element on the screen is customizable: think color coding for quick interpretation, KPI tiles that show performance instantly, geographic maps to visualize spread, or custom visuals from the Power BI Marketplace. As a result, the view fits seamlessly with the daily practice of your organization, whether you manage financial margins, equipment availability or maintenance costs. Power BI reports offer a flexible and powerful tool for data-driven growth.
Flexible and user-friendly for any type of user
Power BI is designed for end users, not just data specialists. You can build, filter, personalize and share reports without programming. At the same time, Power BI also offers enough depth for BI consultants who want to create complex analyses or build data models. From management to planner, from controller to service manager: everyone gets insight at his or her own level.
Microsoft integration: get started quickly with your existing tools
- Power BI works seamlessly with other Microsoft products such as: Excel and Office 365 (for data processing and collaboration).

How Power BI relates to ELC
At Dysel, we believe that you can't really manage until you understand your data. That's why we ensure that ELC stores your business information centrally and in a structured way, so that you have one reliable source of truth. Power BI is a powerful complement: it extracts insights from that central ELC dataset and makes them understandable, visual and easy to share - with colleagues, management or external partners.
Whether you view standard reports, build your own dashboards or perform extensive analysis on detailed data sets, Power BI adapts to your organization and grows with your ambitions. You decide how far you go - from operational insights to strategic direction.
