From Data to Better Decisions

Utilities generate vast amounts of data every day — from financial systems and asset databases to HR and operational systems. Yet many organizations struggle to turn that data into clear, actionable insights that guide decisions and support continuous improvement. Manual reporting, fragmented systems, and dependency on key individuals often slow progress and reduce visibility.

Solteq Utilities Consulting helps you unlock the full potential of your data with dynamic Power BI reporting — designed specifically for the needs of Nordic energy and water utilities.

Our Solution – Dynamic Power BI Reporting

Our Business Intelligence solution transforms raw, scattered data into clear, interactive dashboards and reports that support both daily operations and strategic management.

With Power BI, your organization gains:

A unified view across systems such as ERP, HR, asset management, and operational platforms
Automated reporting with near real-time updates – no more manual Excel work
Interactive dashboards that reveal trends, bottlenecks, and anomalies
Faster, data-driven decisions supported by intuitive visualisations
More time for analysis and action – less time spent on collecting and cleaning data

The result is a more transparent, efficient, and insight-driven organisation.

From Analysis to Action – A Quantum Leap in Power BI

Action-oriented Translytical Task Flows take Power BI from analysis straight into execution. The solution bridges analytics and operations by enabling business process guidance and the initiation of concrete actions directly from the report view—without separate systems or heavy integrations.

With this solution, your organization can:

Launch actions directly from Power BI reports without complex integrations
Write data back to source systems in a controlled and secure manner
Accelerate decision-making by turning insights into immediate action
Significantly reduce the need for separate, costly integration projects

Power BI is no longer just a reporting tool—it becomes a powerful platform for business steering and operational execution: fast, cost-efficient, and scalable.

Designed for the Energy and Water Sectors

Our Power BI solution is built around the specific requirements of energy and water utilities and is already in use at several Nordic utilities. In addition, it includes pre-built modules for project reporting and billing – two of the most critical business areas for utilities.

Typical cases include:

- Financial reporting: budgeting, cost tracking, and forecasting
- Supplier performance: contract transparency and supply chain efficiency
- HR analytics: workforce capacity, attendance, and performance
- Operational KPIs: electricity, water, heat, wastewater, and waste services
- Regulatory reporting: transparency, traceability, and audit-proof reporting

Our fully integrated, ready-to-use project and billing modules—built on best practices—reduce development effort and ensure faster time to value.

Our industry-specific solution is continuously developed in step with regulatory changes and evolving business needs, so decisions are always based on up-to-date and reliable information.

Strong Foundation in Microsoft Azure

The Power BI solution is hosted on Microsoft Azure and meets strict industry requirements for information security and availability.

You benefit from:

Secure cloud infrastructure and advanced encryption
Multi-factor authentication and role-based access control (including Row-Level Security)
Full support for GDPR and internal data protection policies
Documented 99.9% uptime supported by proactive monitoring and support

Reports are securely accessible anytime, anywhere – supporting data-driven decision-making across the organization.

The writeback functionality enables you to update data directly from Power BI without an additional integration layer. The result is a significantly faster, more cost-effective, and more flexible data process.
