Business Intelligence
Turning data into insights and decisions
Most organizations are sitting on data that could transform how they operate. The problem is not the data. It is the gap between raw numbers and the clear, visual story that drives action. Blue Raster closes that gap.
We combine Microsoft Power BI, ArcGIS location intelligence, and expert data engineering to build dashboards and reporting tools that give your leadership, field teams, and stakeholders exactly what they need to make faster, better-informed decisions.
Our team includes certified Power BI consultants, GIS analysts, data scientists, and application developers who work together to turn complex, disparate data sources into unified, interactive intelligence platforms.

ArcGIS Maps For power BI
Location Intelligence Inside Power BI
ArcGIS Maps for Power BI brings the full power of Esri's mapping and spatial analysis capabilities directly into your Power BI dashboards. Blue Raster helps you move beyond simple pin maps to rich, interactive spatial intelligence that reveals where patterns happen and why.
Whether you are tracking service delivery locations, analyzing market expansion opportunities, or monitoring field operations, adding a spatial dimension to your Power BI reports transforms how your organization sees and acts on its data.
Project Spotlight
Microsoft Methane Leak Detection Project
Blue Raster developed an end-to-end workflow for Microsoft to detect methane using a combination of ESA Sentinel satellite data and Ball Sensors data from aerial surveys. The solution leveraged Azure Event Grid, Blob Storage, and application functions to download, process, and analyze the data efficiently.
Processed outputs included Map Tiles hosted in Blob Storage, Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs, and KMZ files, which were automatically loaded into ArcGIS Image Services for display. Ball sensor data was also stored in Azure Blob Storage and batch processed alongside satellite data.
Final results were delivered through Power BI dashboards and ArcGIS Enterprise Image Services, which were published as interactive maps in ArcGIS Maps for Power BI. This integrated workflow enabled Microsoft to visualize methane data in near real time, combining geospatial and sensor data for actionable insights.
