ETL pipeline development

ETL development that feeds Power BI — without another spreadsheet layer

We design extract/load patterns for the facts your semantic model needs — tested, scheduled, and owned.

The problem we solve

Pointing Power BI at messy operational tables creates brittle reports. We build pipelines that land clean facts and dimensions with incremental loads and basic quality checks before your dashboard refreshes.

What you get

What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.

  • Deliverable 1: Source-to-target map for priority entities
  • Deliverable 2: Incremental load design so you are not reloading years every night
  • Deliverable 3: Pipeline implementation in the tool your team can support
  • Deliverable 4: Quality checks (row counts, missing keys, duplicate business keys)
  • Deliverable 5: Scheduling and failure alerts
  • Deliverable 6: Runbook for reruns and late-arriving data

How it works

A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.

  1. 01

    3–5 days

    Agree grain and timing

    Define what one row means and how late the load may be for the Power BI refresh.

  2. 02

    2–4 weeks

    Build the pipeline

    Implement extracts, transforms, and loads with safe reruns.

  3. 03

    3–5 days

    Connect Power BI

    Point the report model at the clean tables and prove end-to-end refresh.

Practical details

The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.

  • 01We pick the pipeline tool your ops team can run—not the newest brand name for its own sake.
  • 02Quality checks should catch broken keys before executives see a blank or wrong dashboard.
  • 03One dashboard can still combine many sources—the pipeline’s job is to make those sources reportable.

Business challenges

  • Power BI pulls straight from busy live systems during the day.
  • Every load reprocesses years of history.
  • Failed loads are discovered when the dashboard is empty at 8am.

Outcomes

  • Scheduled loads finish before the Power BI refresh window.
  • Quality checks catch broken keys before leaders see them.
  • Reruns are documented and safe.
