Power BI is a great tool for data analysis and visualization, but let’s be honest - manually producing and sharing PDF reports from it can be a time-consuming headache. Whether it’s navigating complex dashboards, setting filters or distributing reports to stakeholders, these repetitive tasks eat up valuable hours that are better spent analyzing insights and making decisions.
This is where automating Power BI reports with BI Helper saves the day. By taking care of the grunt work of producing, customizing and distributing reports, BI Helper not only saves time but also enhances the efficiency of your organization.
Why Manual Reporting is Inefficient
Manually handling Power BI reports introduces challenges that every data professional has experienced at some point. Imagine this: you have a dozen stakeholders, each requiring a customized report. That means logging in, selecting filters, exporting PDFs and sending individual emails to each one, every single time.
Not only is it time-consuming, but the repetitive nature of this task makes it prone to errors such as applying the wrong filters or sending reports to the wrong people. Deadlines are often missed because manual processes are prone to delays, and your stakeholders’ trust in your reporting can take a hit.
This inefficiency isn’t just frustrating, it is unnecessary. BI Helper provides a way out.
How BI Helper Transforms Reporting
BI Helper revolutionizes the reporting process by automating everything from report generation to delivery. Here’s how it works:
Custom Report Generation Without the Effort: BI Helper seamlessly generates multi-page PDFs directly from Power BI. You can customize these reports by applying slicers and filters dynamically, ensuring that every end-user receives the version tailored for them. What’s more, this happens automatically, freeing you from the manual grind.
Scheduled Reporting for Timely Delivery: Instead of scrambling to meet deadlines, you can set BI Helper to generate and email reports on a schedule. Whether it’s daily, weekly or monthly, your stakeholders will have the latest insights waiting in their inboxes - on time, every time.
Security Built into Every Step: Data security is non-negotiable. BI Helper uses AES 256 encryption and adheres to SOC 2 and HIPAA standards to keep your reports safe during generation and delivery. Automated processes don’t just save time, they also eliminate the risk of human errors that could compromise sensitive information.
How Automation Boosts Efficiency
More Time for Analysis: Manual reporting eats up hours that are better spent analyzing data and extracting valuable insights. Automating with BI Helper gives back those hours, allowing you to focus on what really matters, making data-driven decisions.

Cost Reduction: BI Helper minimizes the need for expensive Power BI licenses. With a single Power BI Pro or PPU license, BI Helper can generate reports for all your internal and external stakeholders, saving your organization thousands of dollars in licensing fees annually.
Scalability: As your organization grows, so do your reporting needs. BI Helper scales effortlessly to handle increasing volumes of data and users, ensuring that your reporting workflow runs smoothly and cost-effectively.

Why BI Helper is the Better Solution

How BI Helper Can Benefit Your Business - Examples
Whatever be the nature and size of your business, BI Helper can contribute significantly to enhancing employee efficiency, controlling costs and driving better decision-making. Here are a few examples to illustrate that.
Financial Firm Managing Investors
Picture a mid-sized financial firm with 50 employees. Power BI reports are created and maintained by three BI analysts, but consumed by all 50 employees, who need them for interacting with their investors. Power BI Pro licenses for 50 employees cost USD 700 per month (USD 8,400 annually). Instead, this firm can provision five Power BI Pro licenses (for the analytics and management teams) instead of 50, saving over USD 7,500 annually in licensing costs.
They can buy a BI Helper Standard license at USD 50 per month (annual cost USD 600), create customized PDF reports for all 50 employees and email them on a schedule. This will automate their reporting workflow and free up their employees to analyze and understand reports and deliver much greater value to their investors.
Supply Chain Company Managing Inventories
Consider a supply chain company that needs to deliver daily inventory reports to hundreds of customers. With BI Helper, they can automate the creation of customized reports for each customer.
They can do so with a single Power BI Pro license, avoiding a costly upgrade to Power BI Premium and keeping their expenses in check. At the same time, they will improve the accuracy and timeliness of report delivery, greatly increasing customer satisfaction.
High Growth Startup Adding Customers
For a rapidly growing business, scaling reporting without increasing costs can be a challenge. BI Helper can enable such a business to maintain reporting consistency as their team size doubles and then triples, by delivering reports to an ever-growing customer base without added effort and at minimal extra cost.
