Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
We use Microsoft Power BI to analyse our hours for train crew. We have over 1000 train crew who are all on annualised contracts, we need to ensure all the staff are utilised and are using their hours efficiently. It gives us info to tell us where they are at any expected point. We need to understand where our overtime is being spent which in turns tells us where we have issues covering trains. We can then see if we need more staff in that area to cover the trains running, or is it sickness that is driving it or do we need more learning to ensure that route is covered. Train data from vogerplan is old fashioned, it comes in a csv file format and hard to understand by using the Microsoft Power BI report it gives it readable information. By combining multiple data sheets from excel this allows us to pull a useful Microsoft Power BI report which can be used for financial data and for the management team to you to make strategic decisions. It can be shared and viewed among the business and has helped massively to see the issues the business was experiencing. We can now make decisions and change things using the report, its visual and can be delved into if you need more information
