Power BI dashboard templates
Proven starting point. Your data. Instant insight.
Not every dashboard needs to be built from scratch. Den Otter Solutions offers production-ready Power BI templates for supply chain, finance, and marketing — each based on proven data models and KPI structures from the hands-on experience of Rob den Otter, Analytics Translator with over 25 years of international management experience in supply chain, operations, and finance. Use a template directly for immediate insight, or have it customised to your data sources, KPI targets, and organisational structure. Most customisations are delivered fully remote within two to four weeks, wherever you operate.

Frequently asked questions about templates
Can I use a template with my own ERP system?
Yes. Den Otter Solutions templates are designed to connect to commonly used systems such as Exact Online, AFAS, Twinfield, WMS systems, and Excel. Connecting your data sources is part of the customisation process — your data stays in your own environment.
How long does it take to customise a template for my business?
Most customisations are delivered within two to four weeks. This includes connecting your data sources, setting KPI targets, and adding business-specific logic. More complex customisations involving multiple data sources may take longer.
What is the difference between a template and a custom dashboard?
A template is a proven starting point with a fixed data model and KPI structure. It is faster and more cost-effective than a fully custom dashboard. A custom dashboard is built from scratch for a specific business question that is not covered by an existing template. Many clients start with a template and expand to custom work later.
Do I need to already have Power BI to use a template?
No. Den Otter Solutions assists with the full setup — from Power BI licensing to data source connection and training. A Power BI Pro licence (often already included in Microsoft 365) is sufficient to view and share the dashboards within your organisation.
Can Den Otter Solutions also manage the template after delivery?
Yes. Through Analytics as a Service, Den Otter Solutions provides ongoing management, monitoring, and further development of your Power BI environment. This includes data refresh monitoring, minor adjustments, and strategic expansion — as an external data department on a subscription basis.
