Sunderland has a strong automotive and advanced manufacturing base around Nissan and the wider supply chain, a growing tech and service cluster along the river, plus a significant public sector, university and healthcare presence. Most of these organisations already have Microsoft 365 and Power BI licences. The bit that is usually missing is focused time to connect Power BI to the systems that matter and build reports the whole team trusts.
We normally start with a single piece of Power BI reporting. The report somebody dreads rebuilding every Monday, or the finance pack that always seems to argue with itself. We connect Power BI to the underlying system, rebuild the report cleanly and hand it back so it refreshes on its own. From there we build out into proper dashboards for the leadership team.
Automotive and manufacturing clients in Sunderland tend to ask about joining production output, quality, downtime and finance so margin is understood at the line level. Service and tech firms ask about pipeline, MRR, churn and utilisation. Public sector and healthcare teams ask about activity against plan, waiting times and workforce, with proper documentation for governance and board meetings.
For teams that would rather learn to build their own reports, our Power BI training is run in small groups on your own data rather than a demo dataset, either on site or over Teams.
We cover Sunderland and the wider Tyne and Wear area, and often support teams that also have offices in Newcastle, Middlesbrough or Leeds. Get in touch and we will come back the same working day with an honest first step.
