Managing inventory is challenging for organizations, as ineffective management can generate unnecessary costs. On the other hand, adequate inventory management can collaborate with meeting customer needs and achieving organizational goals. However, several difficulties can be verified in the control and monitoring of inventories, such as the need for more organization, discrepancies between inputs and outputs, and lack of alignment with the organization's demand, among other problems that increase company costs. In this sense, the implementation of solutions to improve inventory management can bring benefits to the organization. One of these solutions is using Business Intelligence (B.I.), using Microsoft Power B.I. software, which aims to organize data, generating information through graphics and analysis panels (dashboards). In this scenario, this paper aimed to implement solutions to improve inventory management using B.I. and Microsoft software Power B.I. The research was based on data collection and the execution of actions in a Brazilian business organization through action research. The promising results confirmed the hypothesis that using B.I. and Microsoft Power B.I. software enabled proper inventory control, providing cost reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
