Microsoft Strategic ISV Partner for EPM on Fabric
Plan Directly on Your Semantic Models onMicrosoft Fabric
Your semantic models already encode your business logic, hierarchies, and measures. Lumel plans directly on top of them. Your first plan goes live in minutes, not months.
Legacy planning tools create fragmented data across platforms, requiring redundant ETL, integration, and reconciliation just to get a single view of the truth.
The Solution: PLANNING ON MICROSOFT FABRIC
One platform. Three capabilities.
Three capabilities built on one Fabric foundation, sharing the same data, the same security, and the same backend
Planning
Budgets, forecasts, and scenarios
Build and manage enterprise plans directly on your semantic models. Collaborate across teams with cell-level commenting, multi-role workflows, and governed approvals. Plans write back to Fabric automatically.
See plan vs. actuals in a single, reconciled view. Variance measures calculated automatically. Dashboards, storyboards, and ad-hoc analysis surface what matters, without waiting for a separate BI cycle.
Your systems of record manage what exists today. PowerTable manages what's coming: projected customers, planned products, future cost centers. Build no-code apps for any structured workflow, with row and column ACL, approval routing, and 1:1 sync to Fabric SQL.
What changes when planning lives on your data platform
Minutes, not months
A self-service, no-code interface designed for business users. Launch your first plan in minutes, with no consultants or lengthy implementation.
Pay only when you use it
Compute-based pricing on Fabric capacity means seasonal users, plan reviewers, and distributed data entry participants don't need annual licenses.
Plan and report from one truth
Plans and actuals live in the same environment. Variance measures are calculated automatically, giving you a single, reconciled view at all times.
Zero ETL. Zero duplication.
Lumel reads directly from your semantic models and writes back to Fabric. Your data never leaves the platform - no replication pipelines to build or maintain.
Built for enterprise scale
A high-performance calculation engine that handles multi-dimensional models across regions, products, and cost centers. Connect departmental plans into a unified P&L without ETL between systems.
Security inherited. Not rebuilt.
Entra ID, row-level security, and workspace governance carry straight through to every plan, report, and data app. No separate permission layer to configure or maintain.

Collaborative Planning
Plan together. Decide faster.
Planning is a team sport. Lumel gives every contributor, reviewer, and approver a seat at the table, with the full conversation captured alongside every number.
Cell-level commenting with Teams notifications
Attach comments to any data cell and @mention colleagues directly. When you tag someone or reply to their comment, they get notified instantly in Microsoft Teams. The context behind every number lives alongside the data, not in a separate email chain.
Multi-role workflows
Reps enter forecasts, managers challenge and adjust, finance approves. Each role sees exactly what they need. Challenge-approve cycles happen inside the plan, not across tools.
Governed approvals
Rule-based and multi-level approval workflows with full audit trails. Every submission, revision, and sign-off is tracked automatically.

When plans, forecasts, and actuals all live alongside your transactional and operational data, AI models get the complete, governed context they need. No stale extracts. No reconciliation gaps. Lumel EPM writes directly to Fabric SQL database - so every AI-powered forecast, anomaly detection, or driver analysis starts from a single, current source of truth.
Enterprise AI typically runs on operational data: transactions, invoices, CRM records. As a result, it can tell you what happened, but has no visibility into where things are headed.
Lumel writes plans, forecasts, and scenarios back to Fabric SQL. Fabric IQ ontology and data agents can now reason over the targets your teams are working toward, not just the results they've delivered. And the context goes beyond numbers: the rationale behind every forecast, the challenges raised by approvers, and the full audit trail from draft to sign-off are all available. The result is AI that helps you course-correct mid-cycle, not explain variances after the quarter closes.
