Real Results

Sample Engagements

Here's what working with SimplifyBI looks like — from discovery call to measurable results.

Multi-Location Retail Chain · 5 Locations

Unified Sales & Inventory Dashboard

The Problem

The operations team was maintaining 6 separate spreadsheets to track sales, inventory, and staffing across 5 locations. Each store manager submitted weekly reports via email, and the operations director spent 20+ hours per month consolidating everything into a master spreadsheet. Numbers frequently didn't match between reports, and leadership was making inventory decisions based on data that was 2–4 weeks old.

What We Built

We built a Power BI dashboard suite that connects directly to the company's POS system, inventory platform, and QuickBooks. Sales data flows in automatically by location, product category, and time period. Inventory levels update daily with reorder alerts. A financial overview pulls P&L data straight from QuickBooks with budget vs. actual comparisons.

Result

Reporting time dropped from 20 hours/month to 4 hours/month. Leadership now reviews real-time data in weekly meetings. The inventory dashboard identified $120K in excess stock that was rebalanced across locations.

Regional Accounting Firm · 35 Employees

Automated Client Reporting Suite

The Problem

The firm was manually building monthly financial reports for 40+ clients. Each report required pulling data from QuickBooks, formatting it in Excel, adding commentary, and exporting to PDF. Two staff accountants spent the first two weeks of every month exclusively on report generation — time that could have been spent on advisory work.

What We Built

We designed a Power BI reporting template that connects to each client's QuickBooks instance. The template auto-populates with current P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and key ratios. Accountants add narrative commentary through a simple input form. Reports are generated as branded PDFs and distributed to clients via email — all from a single dashboard.

Result

Report generation time reduced by 75% — from 2 weeks to 3 days. Staff accountants reclaimed 60+ hours/month for advisory and client-facing work. Client satisfaction scores increased as reports became more consistent and timely.

Healthcare Practice Group · 12 Providers

Patient Flow & Revenue Dashboard

The Problem

The practice group had no visibility into patient flow patterns, provider utilization, or revenue by service line. The office manager tracked appointment volumes in a spreadsheet and revenue came from a monthly QuickBooks export. Identifying which providers were overbooked, which service lines were underperforming, and where no-show rates were highest required hours of manual analysis that rarely happened.

What We Built

We built a real-time dashboard connecting the practice's EHR system and QuickBooks. The dashboard tracks daily patient volume by provider, appointment types, no-show rates, and average revenue per visit. A financial layer shows revenue by service line, payer mix, and collections performance. Automated alerts flag providers approaching capacity limits or service lines trending below targets.

Tools Used

Result

No-show rate reduced by 15% after identifying patterns by day-of-week and provider. Revenue per visit increased 12% by shifting marketing toward higher-margin service lines. The practice eliminated 10 hours/month of manual tracking and reporting.
