BI Connect

Operations stay in the ERP. Finance analytics live in Power BI — fed by trusted, tenant-scoped export packs.

Overview

BI Connect exists because finance teams should not live inside operational ERP screens to answer board questions. The ERP remains the system of record for payroll, fees, GL, and attendance. BI Connect publishes a reporting pack — stable columns, tenant-scoped, refreshable — so Power BI (or Tableau) can tell the cross-module story.

How it fits the platform

  1. Staff run payroll, fee collection, and accounting in Tuling.
  2. Controllers download a ZIP (or enable nightly delivery to SharePoint / Blob).
  3. Power BI refreshes the starter model — payroll cost by department, fee collection vs outstanding, expense mix, workforce drivers.

What we deliberately do not do

We do not hand production Postgres to Metabase or Power BI DirectQuery. That would bypass ERP correctness rules (lifecycle status, finalized periods, tenant isolation). The pack is the open door for analytics tools — without opening the live database.

Capabilities

Key features

The capabilities that make BI Connect more than a records system.

  • Dual delivery

    Same schema for every campus — finance chooses how to consume it.

  • Power BI ready

    Import once, refresh forever — without live JWT API bindings.

  • Tenant-isolated by design

    Each college gets only its own pack — matching the ERP multi-tenant boundary.

  • Complements in-app analytics & AI

    Day-to-day ops and AI answers stay in the ERP; BI Connect owns cross-module finance storytelling in Power BI.
