About

Lumel EPM is an integrated planning and reporting suite built for Microsoft Fabric. It combines planning, scenario modeling, IBCS-compliant reporting, and governed data writeback inside Microsoft Fabric with Power BI Semantic Models as a source.

Designed for business users, it standardizes communication, reduces manual effort, and ensures consistent reporting structures across the entire organization.

IBCS® CERTIFIED Charts+Tables

Lumel EPM was certified in August 2025. This has once again confirmed the software’s capabilities in the visual design of business charts and tables according to the IBCS Association’s recommended standards.

Why Choose Lumel EPM?

  • One platform for IBCS reporting, planning, and data management
    Lumel EPM unifies planning, IBCS-compliant reporting, and governed data writeback on top of your Power BI semantic model. Eliminate inconsistent non-uniform reports, data silos, and fragmented workflows.
  • Integrated intelligence for analysis and reporting
    Lumel Intelligence, part of Lumel EPM suite, delivers structured workflows for IBCS reporting, ad-hoc exploration, paginated reporting, advanced scheduling, and 100+ enterprise-grade visualizations.
  • The complete IBCS Visual Library (C01–C13, T01–T05)
    Access 100+ charts, KPIs, tables, matrices, Gantt, and advanced visuals with full IBCS chart templates (C01–C13, T01–T05).
  • Faster, more standardized IBCS reporting
    Lumel EPM offers strict IBCS theme with one-click semantic notation, scenarios (AC, PL, PY, FC), variances, and chart layouts. This reduces interpretation time, accelerates review cycles, and ensures every report communicates with clarity.
  • Flexible IBCS for global teams
    Unlike others, Lumel adds planning + “Flexible IBCS theme” on your model. It supports familiar elements like axes, reference lines, scaling, and number formatting. This makes IBCS adoption easier for global reporting teams who need structure.
  • High performance
    Optimized for 1M+ data points with ultra-fast rendering.
  • Interactive + Collaborative BI
    Enable structured communication with IBCS paginated exports, scheduled emails, embedded reports, data-point comments, canvas annotations, cell notes, and storytelling panels — keeping decisions and context within the report itself.
