Power BI Dashboards for NetSuite in Singapore

Five Core Finance Dashboards, Built on Your NetSuite Data

NetSuite holds everything. Getting it into a dashboard your CFO will actually open is the hard part. We connect Oracle NetSuite to Power BI, model the data properly, and hand over dashboards you own outright — in your own Power BI workspace, not ours.

How Do You Connect NetSuite to Power BI?

Power BI doesn't ship a ready-made NetSuite connector, so the connection has to be built. In practice that means one of two routes: an API connection, or a scheduled file extract over SFTP.

Both are well-established. Which one suits you comes down to how current the numbers need to be, how much history you're moving, and how your IT team prefers to handle external connections.We build either. The choice comes out of a scoping call, not a sales pitch — and it's worth getting right, because it shapes everything downstream.

NetSuite Reports Do the Job — Until They Don't

Built for Records, Not Analysis

NetSuite is very good at telling you what happened to a transaction. It's less good at telling you what's happening to the business. The moment you want a trend, a comparison, or a number that spans modules, you're exporting to Excel.

Consolidation Takes Too Long

Group reporting means pulling from multiple entities, aligning currencies, and eliminating intercompany. Every month. By the time the consolidated view is ready, the month it describes is already two weeks gone.

Reporting Lives Behind a Login

Everyone who needs a number needs a licence and access. So reports get exported and emailed instead, and within a week nobody's certain which version is current.

One System, One View

NetSuite doesn't know about your CRM, your bank feed, or the operational spreadsheet finance actually runs on. Power BI can hold all of it in a single model, so the numbers reconcile in one place instead of four.

What's in the Five Dashboards

Five finance views, not five generic templates — each built to your chart of accounts and reading from the same model, so the numbers reconcile. Click through to see what each one covers.

01

Financial Performance

P&L against budget, by entity and department, with drill-through to the underlying detail.

Cash Position

What came in, what went out, what's committed, and what that means for the weeks ahead.

Receivables & Collections

Ageing by customer, days sales outstanding, and a clear view of who to chase this week.

Balance Sheet

Position over time rather than a point-in-time snapshot, so movements are visible instead of inferred.

Executive Summary

The handful of numbers your board actually asks about, on one screen, current as of the last refresh.

Executive Summary
What's included in every build
  • Secure connection setup, API or SFTP
  • A properly built data model — not a flat export with charts on top
  • Five dashboards, built to your chart of accounts
  • Delivered in your own Power BI workspace
  • An agreed support period after go-live
  • Handover session with your finance team

How the Build Runs

Four steps, from the first call to the day it's yours. Structured, checkpointed, and built so you leave the engagement owning everything.

01

Scoping call

What you report on now, what's missing, and what "good" would look like. We also work out which connection method fits.

02

Connection

We set up the data flow with your IT team and confirm what arrives matches what's in NetSuite. Nothing gets built on data nobody has checked.

03

Model, then build

The data model comes first, dashboards second. This order is unglamorous and it's the reason the dashboards still work a year later when someone adds a new department.

04

Handover

Your workspace, your licences, your team trained on it. You can change things yourself, and you're not calling us to move a chart.

"Forecasting used to feel like guesswork. ITLink helped us unify TM1 with Power BI, giving our leadership team confidence in the numbers for the first time. We're now able to forecast with accuracy and back our decisions with real-time insights."

NetSuite and Power BI: Common Questions

Is there a ready-made Power BI connector for NetSuite?
No. Power BI doesn't ship one, so the connection is built — either as an API connection or a scheduled file extract. Both are well-established and we work with either.
How often does the data refresh?
With an API connection, close to live. With a scheduled extract, on whatever cadence we agree — usually overnight, so the numbers are current every morning.
Who owns the dashboards?
You do. They're built in your Power BI workspace, under your licences. If you stop working with us, nothing switches off and nothing gets taken away.
What access do you need to our system?
As little as possible, and read-only wherever the setup allows. We work through your IT team and confirm exact permissions during scoping, before anything is connected.
Can this handle multiple entities?
Yes — multi-entity reporting is one of the most common reasons finance teams move to Power BI in the first place. We map your structure during scoping so consolidation is built in rather than bolted on.
Do we need to be on Power BI already?
No. If you're starting from scratch we'll advise on licensing and set the workspace up as part of the build.
Are there grants available for this in Singapore?
Singapore businesses have several support schemes available for digital and analytics projects. See our grants page for current criteria, and we can point you in the right direction on a call.
