Yaveon Power BI Cockpits

Yaveon Power BI Cockpits are ready-made, pre-configured business intelligence dashboards designed to give process manufacturers and B2B organisations instant transparency into their core operations. Built for use with Microsoft Power BI, these cockpits integrate directly into Microsoft Business Central and the industry-specific ERP solution Yaveon 365, eliminating the need for manual data exports or workarounds. More than 850 companies worldwide rely on Yaveon as their ERP partner, and the Power BI Cockpits extend that ecosystem with targeted analytical capabilities across sales, purchasing, quality control, and incident management.

The cockpits are designed to serve a wide range of users — from plant floor teams and laboratory staff to management — ensuring that the right data is available to the right people at the point of decision. By surfacing real-time insights into business processes, the dashboards help organisations identify trends, respond to market changes, and maintain quality standards with confidence.
