Trade analytics on the Microsoft stack: Fabric, Power BI, and Azure in your own tenant
If your business runs on Microsoft, your foreign-trade analytics can too, without moving your data anywhere. How Kadmoon delivers landed cost, duty, and visibility on Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure, inside your own tenant.
Key takeaways
- Foreign-trade analytics can be delivered entirely on the Microsoft stack you already run.
- Fabric is the data foundation, Power BI is where the reports live, Azure is the cloud underneath.
- It runs in your own tenant, so your trade data never leaves your environment.
- The value is not the tools; it is the governed trade model built on top of them.
- If you already pay for Microsoft, the analytics reuses it instead of adding another platform.
If your business already runs on Microsoft, there is a reassuring answer to a question trade buyers often ask early: yes, your foreign-trade analytics can run on the same stack, in the same tenant, without moving your data anywhere. Kadmoon delivers landed cost, duty exposure, shipment visibility, and compliance analytics on Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure, inside your own Microsoft environment. The Microsoft stack is the delivery; the foreign-trade model built on top of it is the offer.
The stack, and what each part does
The three Microsoft technologies play distinct roles. Microsoft Fabric is the unified data foundation, where the data from your systems is landed and the governed trade model is built. Power BI is the reporting layer, where the dashboards and alerts your team opens every morning actually live. Azure is the cloud underneath it all, inside your tenant. None of this is exotic for a company already on Microsoft; it is the stack you likely already pay for, used for the one job it was not set up to do on its own, which is foreign-trade analytics.
It runs in your own tenant
The reason to deliver on the Microsoft stack, rather than in a vendor platform, is ownership. The analytics runs in your own tenant, so your trade data never leaves your environment, stays under your own security and access controls, and is not pooled somewhere you cannot see. Your team signs in to Power BI in your tenant, not to a Kadmoon login. If you do not run Microsoft yet, we can provision and manage a dedicated tenant for you, but even then the data is isolated and the model, reports, and data are yours, documented and handed over.
The tools are not the value
It is worth being clear about what Microsoft gives you and what it does not. Fabric and Power BI are powerful, but a BI tool is an empty canvas: it does not know what landed cost or duty exposure mean, how freight should be allocated to the unit, or what counts as on time for a cross-border shipment. The value Kadmoon adds is the governed trade data model built on the stack: the KPI definitions, the connectors from your ERP, broker, carrier, EDI and ACE, and spreadsheets, and the reports that turn all of it into decisions specific to foreign trade. The stack runs it; the model makes it mean something.
If you already run Power BI
Many trade operations already have Power BI and some reports in it. In that case Kadmoon does not replace anything; it adds the trade model underneath. Your existing Power BI stays, and what changes is that it is now fed by a governed model built for trade rather than assembled report by report, so landed cost means one thing across every report and each number traces back to the shipment or entry behind it. This is the difference between having the tool and having the trade intelligence platform the tool was missing.
Reusing what you already pay for
For a company already invested in Microsoft, delivering trade analytics on the same stack is efficient as well as familiar. There is no second platform to buy, learn, and govern alongside the one you already run; the analytics reuses your Fabric, Power BI, and Azure, and the Microsoft capacity can even be billed on one invoice with the platform if you want us to manage it. The result is foreign-trade analytics that fits the environment you already have, owned by you, rather than another system bolted on beside it. That is the whole idea behind the platform: one trade intelligence layer, on the Microsoft stack, in your tenant.
If your business runs on Microsoft and you want your trade analytics to run there too, that is exactly how we deliver it. Tell us what you run, or see the platform and the Microsoft stack it is built on.
Frequently asked questions
Do you build trade analytics on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI?
Yes. Kadmoon delivers foreign-trade analytics on the Microsoft data stack: Microsoft Fabric as the unified data foundation, Power BI as the reporting and dashboard layer, and Azure as the cloud underneath. If your business already runs on Microsoft, the analytics is built on what you have rather than on a separate platform you would have to adopt and pay for in addition. The tools are Microsoft's; what we add is the governed trade data model, the KPIs, and the connectors that make those tools produce landed cost, duty exposure, and visibility specific to cross-border trade.
Does the data have to leave our environment?
No. The whole point of running on the Microsoft stack is that it runs in your own Microsoft tenant. Your trade data stays inside your environment, under your own security and access controls, and the model and reports are built there and handed over to you. You sign in to Power BI in your tenant, not to a Kadmoon product. If you do not run Microsoft yet, we can provision and manage a dedicated tenant for you, but the data is still isolated and yours.
We run Power BI already. What does Kadmoon add?
A BI tool is an empty canvas; it does not know what landed cost or duty exposure mean for foreign trade. If you already run Power BI, Kadmoon adds the governed trade data model underneath it, the KPI definitions, and the connectors from your ERP, broker, carrier, EDI and ACE, and spreadsheets, so your Power BI reports compute trade metrics consistently and correctly. You keep your Power BI; what changes is that it is now fed by a trade model built for the job rather than assembled report by report.
