Custom dashboards

Need a custom dashboard? Let AI build it on your own data

Getting a custom dashboard built usually means hiring a Power BI consultant, waiting weeks and calling again for every change. In DigiData you describe what you want to see and the AI agent builds the dashboard on your connected business data. Prefer help? We build the first set with you.

Dashboard of the fictional Westra Bouw, built in DigiData, with revenue, result, margin and pipeline

Three ways to get a custom dashboard

You can have a dashboard built by a Power BI agency, build it yourself in Power BI or Excel, or use dashboard software in which the connectors and the groundwork are already taken care of. The first route gives you bespoke work, but you pay by the hour and depend on the builder for changes. The second requires knowledge of data models and DAX. The third suits companies that mainly want management and operational dashboards without a BI specialist of their own.

What you get

Build it yourself with AI, or together with us

You choose how much you do yourself.

AI builds the first version

Describe in plain language which overview you need. The AI agent lays out widgets, filters and structure on your own data.

We build with you

On request we set up the first set of dashboards together with you, including the definitions of your key figures.

Training on your own data

In a one-day training your team learns to build dashboards, automate reports and work with the AI agent.

Connectors are taken care of

Ready-made connectors for Exact Online, Twinfield, Simplicate, Robaws and more. No connector code or exports.

No per-viewer licence

You pay for the platform and per connector, not per user. Share the dashboard with the whole team.

Power BI stays possible

Feed existing Power BI reports with the same data through OData. You do not have to replace everything at once.

How it works

From question to dashboard in three steps

No quotation process and no implementation fee for the standard connectors.

01

Connect your sources

Connect the systems your figures live in, such as Exact Online, Twinfield or your CRM. DigiData syncs the data automatically, from hourly to weekly.

02

Agree the definitions

Decide together with us what revenue, margin or project status means in your company. Dashboards, the AI agent and email reports then all calculate with the same measurements.

03

Describe your dashboard

Tell us which overview you need and for whom. The AI agent builds the first version and you adjust widgets, filters and colours in the visual editor.

What you get

A dashboard you can change yourself afterwards

The result is not a file that stays with the builder, but a dashboard in your own environment.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we often get

Please call: +31 6 15534337

What does a custom dashboard cost?

With an agency you pay the hours for intake, data model and build, plus Power BI licences for everyone who views it. With DigiData you pay a fixed monthly amount for the platform and per connector, not per user. Help with setting up the first dashboards is available on request. Current amounts are on the pricing page.

How quickly is a dashboard ready?

Once the data sources and definitions are in place, the AI agent builds the first version directly from a plain description. Total lead time depends mainly on data quality, the definitions you want and the number of sources.

Can DigiData build the dashboard for us?

Yes. On request we build the first set of dashboards with you. After that you can change them yourself, so you do not depend on us for every adjustment.

We already have Power BI reports. Do they have to go?

No. DigiData can keep feeding existing Power BI reports through OData and offer new dashboards directly alongside them. Per report you choose the route that needs the least maintenance.
