Project Overview
Embark had the data — it was locked inside Dayforce with no easy way to see it across the network. Leadership was making workforce decisions based on stale exports and manually assembled spreadsheets. We built a Power BI reporting layer integrated directly into their Dayforce environment, turning raw HCM data into live, role-appropriate dashboards that update automatically. Executives get the high-level view they need. Campus administrators get the operational detail they need. Everyone stops waiting on someone else to pull a report.


Key Highlights
Live Dayforce Integration: Connected Power BI directly to Dayforce data sources for automatic, real-time data refresh across all reports.
Executive Dashboard Suite: Built high-level dashboards giving school leadership instant visibility into headcount, payroll spend, and workforce trends.
Campus-Level Reporting: Designed detailed operational reports for campus administrators to manage staffing and scheduling at the site level.
Multi-Campus Data Model: Structured the data model to cleanly separate and compare metrics across Embark's full school network.
Automated Refresh Scheduling: Eliminated manual reporting by configuring scheduled data refreshes tied directly to Dayforce updates.
Role-Based Access: Configured report access by role so each user sees only the data relevant to their level of the organization.
