Project Overview

Iqra Technology designed and built an interactive Power BI HR dashboard to centralise workforce data from HR and payroll systems — providing HR teams and leadership with real-time visibility into employee performance, leave patterns (sudden vs planned), departmental target achievement, salary distribution, and individual employee contribution metrics, all within a single, self-service reporting environment.

Client Requirements

  • Centralise employee leave data — including sudden leave vs planned leave with reasons.
  • Track departmental performance against set targets using visual KPIs.
  • Provide salary distribution and payroll insights at employee and department level.
  • Show individual employee contribution metrics for management review.
  • Consolidate HR and payroll data from multiple source systems into a single SQL model.
  • Automate HR reporting to eliminate manual Excel-based report preparation.
  • Enable drill-down analysis from department level to individual employee level.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1 Leave data was scattered across HR and payroll systems with no unified view — making it impossible to compare leave patterns, analyse trends, or identify attendance risks in real time.
Solution Consolidated all data into a centralised SQL model as a single source of truth — enabling consistent, accurate reporting across all departments and removing dependency on fragmented data sources.
Problem 2 Visualising departmental target achievement was difficult using standard Power BI visuals — the client needed custom, HR-specific charts that clearly highlighted performance gaps per department.
Solution Implemented Charticulator custom visuals to create bespoke HR-specific charts that accurately highlighted departmental performance against targets in a clear, leadership-ready format.
Problem 3 HR reports were manually prepared in Excel — consuming significant time each reporting cycle and limiting the ability to provide real-time, on-demand insights to HR managers and leadership.
Solution Automated reporting in Power BI replaced all manual Excel-based preparation — enabling real-time, self-service access to HR insights and reducing manual reporting effort by over 60%.
