# Power BI + Fishbowl Integration — Israel Lopez Consulting

> Connect Fishbowl to Microsoft Power BI for live sales and inventory dashboards, backed by a clean Azure SQL data layer.

## What we connect

We bring your Fishbowl data into Microsoft Power BI so you can build live dashboards for sales and inventory reporting. Instead of pointing Power BI straight at Fishbowl, ILC stands up an Azure SQL data layer that holds clean, query-ready data. Power BI reads from that layer, so your reports stay fast and your Fishbowl database does not get hammered by reporting queries.

We have built these setups, and we can shape the data model around the way your business actually reports.

## How it works

ILC syncs the Fishbowl tables you care about into Azure SQL, structured for reporting rather than transactions. Power BI connects to that database, and your dashboards refresh on a schedule you choose. For reporting that lives inside Fishbowl itself, see our [Fishbowl Custom Reports](/fishbowl-custom-reports) work. To talk through a build, start with our [integrations](/integrations) or [custom software](/custom-software) pages.
