Running a business without analytics is like setting out on a free voyage. However, it was impossible to generate analytical reports directly in Bitrix24 for a long time. For analysis, it was necessary (or still is necessary) to upload data and use third-party services – Looker Studio, DataLens, Power BI and others. The tools are powerful and flexible, but uploading/downloading takes time and resources. In addition, medium and large businesses need to pay for pro-tariffs, and access to Looker Studio is currently limited for Russian users.
Another drawback is that by default, only the person who prepared the analytics has access to it. To share the results with the team, you need to send reports by email or messenger. Files and links get lost, deleted, and do not always open correctly – there is no sense of convenience.
The Bitrix24 BI Constructor module built into the corporate system eliminates these limitations. We will tell you what it can do, what tasks it is best suited for, and how to start working with it to improve business performance tomorrow.
BI Constructor: what is it?
BI Constructor is a tool for BI analytics (Business Intelligence). It collects information from all over Bitrix24 into reports and visually presents it on dashboards. They contain graphs, charts and tables.
The designer uses data from the entire corporate system, including CRM, as well as from external sources: imported CVS files, connected advertising accounts and the 1C database. The tool is available in boxed versions and on paid Bitrix24 tariffs, starting with Standard. There is no need to pay for it additionally.
By default, BI Constructor is displayed in the corporate portal menu. If you do not see it, check your tariff or contact your integrator or INTERVOLGA specialists.
BI Constructor Bitrix24 is developed on the Apache Superset platform. The system is quite new, but rapidly developing – this is facilitated by the open source code. It is characterized by high performance, flexibility of queries, the ability to work with big data and high-quality data visualization.
If we compare products on the Apache Superset algeria email list platform and the popular Looker Studio from Google, the latter loses when creating complex reports using multiple data sources. Bitrix24 BI Constructor easily copes with such tasks, connecting data sets using SQL queries. Another plus is the convenient interface of standard reports, which is understandable even for a beginner.
There are reports in the CRM tab. Why use BI Constructor?
The “Reports” tool in the Bitrix24 CRM china numbers section is very outdated. The capabilities of the BI Constructor are much broader, and the data presentation is more visual and convenient.
