Rand Group partners with Business Central Insights for advanced Power BI reporting

Rand Group is proud to announce an official partnership with Business Central Insights, the specialized Power BI reporting suite for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For Business Central customers, it means faster, clearer insight from the data they already have.

A partnership years in the making

The connection between the two companies runs deep. WebSan Solutions, now part of Rand Group, was one of the first partners to adopt Business Central Insights many years ago. When WebSan joined Rand Group, that reporting expertise became part of a larger multi-platform team. Formalizing the partnership was a natural next step.

“We’ve had a great relationship with WebSan since they became our first partner many years ago, so I’m really looking forward to building on that partnership now they’re part of Rand Group. Together, we can help even more Business Central customers get the most from their data through our advanced Power BI reporting,” said Dejan Pajk, CEO, eKnowtion and Business Central Insights.

What Business Central Insights brings to reporting

Business Central Insights is a suite of prebuilt Power BI reporting apps created specifically for Dynamics 365 Business Central. It gives finance, sales, operations, and other teams a ready-to-use reporting foundation without requiring every dashboard and data model to be developed from scratch.

The suite includes over 400 prebuilt reports and dashboards across Business Central functional areas such as finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, cash flow, CRM, jobs, service, manufacturing, and warehouse operations.

Because the solution is designed around Business Central data, organizations can spend less time creating foundational reporting and more time using their data to understand performance and make decisions.

Examples of what you can analyze

The value of Business Central Insights is not simply having more dashboards. It is being able to answer everyday business questions quickly and consistently across different areas of the business.

Why this matters for Business Central customers

Many Business Central customers rely on standard reports, Excel exports, or manually built Power BI dashboards to answer operational and financial questions. That approach can create delays, inconsistent reporting logic, and extra work for finance, sales, and operations teams. Leaders often need a faster way to analyze performance across departments without rebuilding reports from scratch.

The result is a faster, more cost-effective path to insight. Customers gain accurate dashboards, real-time visibility, and a trusted data model they can build on.

“Reliable reporting is central to how we deliver for our clients, and Business Central Insights has earned a place in that work. This partnership lets us bring that same fast, dependable Power BI reporting to more Business Central customers,” said Andrew King, COO, Rand Group.

Go beyond the prebuilt reports

Business Central Insights is not limited to its standard dashboards. Users can create additional Power BI reports using the Business Central Insights semantic models in Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service when their reporting requirements call for something more specific.

Teams that prefer Excel can also use the underlying semantic model for additional analysis with familiar Excel reporting tools. This allows organizations to use the prebuilt reports as a starting point while extending their reporting as new business questions and requirements emerge.
