Case Study: Agriculture Cooperative Company achieves detailed Azure consumption visibility with Cloud Kinetics PowerBI reporting

PowerBI Reporting for Azure Consumption Agriculture

Agriculture Cooperative Company, a US-based agriculture cooperative focused on dairy products, seed, crop protection, and agronomic services, needed better visibility into Azure spending. Their corporate team was only seeing a high-level view of consumption data pulled from the Azure portal and wanted detailed billing reports with drill-down capabilities and more advanced analysis.

Cloud Kinetics implemented a Power BI reporting solution for Azure consumption, with recurring monthly data extraction from Azure subscriptions, support for ad hoc runs, and grouping by tags for richer analysis. The solution used an Azure Active Directory service principal for authentication and introduced custom access roles; as a result, Azure usage and cost were tracked per resource, spending trends were visualized for better planning, and stakeholders gained clearer control over subscription-level costs.
