Connect Sterling to Power BI for Advanced Dashboards and Commercial Intelligence

The Microsoft Power BI integration enables organisations to connect Sterling data directly into Power BI reporting and dashboard environments. This allows project, commercial and leadership teams to create interactive visualisations and business intelligence reporting using live project and estimating data from Sterling.

By integrating Sterling with Power BI, organisations can analyse estimating performance, cost planning data, forecasting information, resource demand and sustainability metrics within a central reporting environment. Dashboards can be tailored to different teams and stakeholders, helping improve visibility across commercial, operational and strategic reporting workflows.
