Data engineering, analytics & BI
Data pipelines, warehouses, Power BI dashboards, KPI definitions, data quality and access governance. Santre connects the systems your data lives in and turns it into reporting people actually use.
Start with the decisions you need data for.
Overview
Santre's data and business intelligence service connects data from accounting, CRM, ERP, operations and Microsoft 365 into a governed data model and delivers it through Power BI dashboards and reports. It covers data pipelines and integration, cloud data warehouses, KPI and metric definitions, report design, row-level security and data-quality monitoring. It is for organizations where month-end reporting is assembled by hand, departments quote different numbers, or leaders want to see performance without waiting for a spreadsheet.
What’s included
Reliable pipelines that bring data together on a schedule, with checks that catch problems early.
Dashboards built around the questions leaders ask, not around the tables that exist.
Each KPI has one written definition and one calculation in a shared semantic model, so 'revenue' or 'on-time delivery' means the same thing on every report that uses it.
The right people see the right data, and you can show who had access.
Prepare clean, permissioned data that AI tools can safely use.
When to consider it
How Santre delivers it
Start from the decisions leaders need to make and the metrics that inform them.
Map data sources, build pipelines and define a shared data model.
Design dashboards with the people who will use them, then validate the numbers.
Set access, monitor data quality and refine reports as the business changes.
Scope
Building the business application that captures data belongs to Custom Software; AI models and agents that act on the data belong to AI & Intelligent Automation. This service owns pipelines, models, reporting and data governance.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on who builds and who views reports. Power BI Pro is needed to share content, Premium Per User adds larger models and advanced features, and Microsoft Fabric capacity can let viewers read reports without individual licences. Santre recommends a licensing model after reviewing your users and workloads.
Not always. A first dashboard can often connect directly to one or two systems. A warehouse becomes worthwhile when you combine several sources, need history the source systems do not keep, or reporting starts slowing them down.
AI tools are only as reliable as the data and permissions behind them. The same pipelines, definitions and access controls that make reporting trustworthy also make AI answers accurate and safe.
