Odoo ERP to Power BI Integration for Unified Business Reporting
How Iqra Technology helped a growing business connect its Odoo ERP system to Power BI using the CData connector — enabling a single, real-time reporting layer across sales, inventory, purchase, and finance data without manual exports or disconnected spreadsheets.
Client Overview
A growing organization running its core operations — sales, inventory, purchasing, accounting, and CRM — on Odoo ERP. As the business scaled, management needed consolidated, visual reporting on top of Odoo data but lacked a direct, reliable way to connect Odoo to a modern BI tool. The client engaged Iqra Technology to design and implement a Power BI reporting solution built directly on live Odoo data.
Industry Details
Project Overview
The client wanted to replace manual exports and static Excel reports with a live, automated reporting solution built directly on Odoo ERP data. The project focused on connecting Odoo to Power BI using the CData Power BI Connector, building a clean data model from Odoo's sales, purchase, inventory, and accounting modules, and delivering interactive dashboards covering sales performance, stock levels, purchase trends, and financial summaries — all refreshing automatically without any manual data pulls.
The implementation gave management a real-time, single source of truth on top of their existing Odoo ERP investment — eliminating manual data exports and enabling faster, data-driven decisions across departments.
