How to Connect Data From Odoo to Power BI
Here’s how Onnet Consulting can help your business connect its Odoo database to Power BI and turn data into insights.
- Accessing Your Odoo Backend
- Processing and Storing Your Data
- Connecting the Data Warehouse to Power BI
- Visualizing Your Odoo Data
Step 1: Accessing Your Odoo Backend
Our team starts by gaining the appropriate access to your Odoo backend. This access allows us to collect essential data from modules like Sales, CRM, Inventory, POS, and more.
Step 2: Processing and Storing Your Data
Once we extract the necessary data, we organize and store it in a secure, dedicated data warehouse. This step ensures your data is clean, structured, and ready for analysis.
Step 3: Connecting the Data Warehouse to Power BI
The data warehouse is then linked directly to Power BI as a source. This connection allows Power BI to pull real-time data from Odoo through the warehouse.
Step 4: Visualizing Your Odoo Data
With your data now connected, we create dashboards and visuals inside Power BI that highlight key metrics and trends. These reports help you make faster, data-backed decisions.
