Whether you’re a manager monitoring deadlines or a financial manager keeping costs under control, Business Intelligence for the construction industry offers the solution. At Peacock, we help you consolidate all your data—from systems such as Metacom, 4PS Construct, or Bouw7—and visualize it in Power BI reports. Faster, better decisions and, as a result, greater confidence.

Business Intelligence for the construction industry changes that. It collects all your data in one place and gives you immediate insight into project performance, cost savings, and margins. This way, as a decision-maker, you have everything you need to steer the business strategically.

Data as the basis for success
Deep insights with Business Intelligence
The construction industry demands not only speed in delivery, but also the ability to adapt quickly based on strategic data. A robust Business Intelligence solution helps you transform raw data into clear, easy-to-understand dashboards. We achieve this through a carefully structured step-by-step plan in which every element plays a crucial role.
Step 1: The ETL process - foundation of reliable data
The first step is to extract data from a variety of systems, such as ERP, CRM and spreadsheets. Then this data is thoroughly cleaned and standardized. In this way, we ensure that the information you ultimately use is of high quality. This ETL process forms the basis for all further analysis and provides assurance that you are working with consistent and accurate data.
Step 2: The Data Warehouse - One Central Source
After the ETL process, the cleaned data is stored in a central data warehouse. This offers several advantages:
- Uniform information: All departments work with the same, reliable data set.
- Scalability: Suitable for businesses of any size. The solution grows with your organization.
- Security: Your data is stored and managed to the highest security standards.
This way, you will always have a solid foundation on which to base your financial and operational decisions.
Step 3: Power BI - Insights that speak
The final stage is to visualize the data via Power BI. Our dashboards are designed to present complex information simply and clearly. This allows you to:
- Identify trends and bottlenecks: Instantly see which regions or product lines are performing better.
- Faster decision-making: Actionable insights enable immediate response to change.
- Real-time overview: Always access to the latest data, so you're never behind on market trends.
