BI – Business Intelligence
Transform the Way Your Company Makes Decisions with Business Intelligence
In companies where decisions are often made based on intuition, incomplete data, and outdated reports, BI – Business Intelligence – brings a fundamental change. It enables managers and business leaders to make decisions quickly, accurately, and with full confidence in the data in front of them.
What is BI – Business Intelligence?
BI – Business Intelligence is a set of tools, processes, and technologies used for collecting, integrating, analyzing, and visualizing data. Its goal is to transform disjointed and raw business data into consistent, clear, understandable, and, most importantly, usable information that supports informed decision-making at all levels of management.
What Problems Do Companies Face Without BI?
Without a reliable Business Intelligence tool, companies often struggle with manual data collection, erroneous or distorted reporting data, inconsistent figures between departments, and decision-making based more on gut feeling than facts. Information often arrives too late, and management cannot be sure they’re making the right choices. The result is poorly set planning, weak coordination, inefficient use of resources, increased costs, and a gradual decline in competitiveness.

How Does BI Solve These Problems?
BI systematically removes these barriers by introducing a single reliable and centralized source of truth – Single Source of Truth (SSOT). All data from various systems is unified, up-to-date, and accessible in real time. This ensures that every department has access to the same, accurate information. Business Intelligence also automatically visualizes this data into clear dashboards covering everything from order status to production line performance and financial results.
Benefits of Business Intelligence for Companies
✅ Faster and more accurate decision-making:
Managers no longer have to wait for delayed, incomplete, or skewed reports. Thanks to BI, data is available in real time, allowing for immediate action.
✅ Cost reduction:
Accurate data makes it easy to identify hidden losses, inefficient processes, unnecessary downtime, or material waste—reducing both overhead and operational costs.
✅ Increased productivity:
Transparency naturally enhances accountability and team motivation. The mere awareness that performance is being monitored can increase productivity by up to 10%.
✅ Predictive management:
Advanced BI applications allow companies to identify trends, forecast fluctuations in demand or performance, and better plan capacity.
✅ Improved competitiveness:
Companies that have a real-time overview of their processes and make decisions based on accurate data gain a significant competitive edge.
Most Commonly Used BI Tools
Among the most widely used tools is Microsoft Power BI, known for its intuitive interface, advanced visualizations, and seamless integration with other enterprise systems. In industrial settings, it works together with platforms like Ignition to create a comprehensive solution that covers the entire BI process—from data collection to result presentation.
However, it’s important to note that even the best BI tool is only as good as the quality of the input data. If a company works with inaccurate, incomplete, or delayed data, the outputs will be flawed, leading to poor decisions. That’s why it’s essential to connect BI with tools like SCADA and MES, which ensure automated and reliable data collection directly from the production floor.
