What is Power BI and how it improves business reporting
15.06.2026
Most companies today hold more data than ever, yet that data usually lives scattered across disconnected systems: part of it in the ERP, part in Excel spreadsheets, part in the webshop, and part in marketing and sales tools. The problem is rarely a lack of data, but the inability to extract a meaningful picture of the business from it quickly and reliably. This is where Power BI, Microsoft's business analytics platform, makes the difference, as it connects data from different sources, turns it into visual reports and dashboards, and allows management to make decisions based on current figures rather than estimates or outdated spreadsheets maintained by hand. What Power BI is Power BI is a business analytics and data visualisation platform developed by Microsoft. Its core role is to ...

Restaurant digitalisation, order management, KDS and QR menu
09.06.2026
Restaurant digitalisation has moved well beyond the point where it is an optional upgrade for high-end establishments, and across the European market small and medium-sized hospitality businesses are increasingly adopting integrated digital ordering systems to reduce errors, improve table turnover and meet the expectations of guests who consider a QR menu and seamless service a baseline rather than a novelty. The traditional model where a server writes an order by hand, carries a paper slip to the kitchen and separately informs the bar about drinks contains persistent sources of error and lost time that become particularly costly during peak service when orders accumulate and verbal communication between staff breaks down. Prolink developed a complete restaurant digitalisation system cover ...

VR training for industrial vehicles, custom simulation development
09.06.2026
Industrial vehicle operator training across the European Union operates within a regulatory framework that sets minimum competency requirements for forklift operators, crane operators and heavy machinery drivers, with directives such as the EU Machinery Directive and national implementations of workplace safety legislation creating clear obligations for employers to ensure their operators are adequately trained before being permitted to use equipment unsupervised. The challenge for European companies is that meeting these obligations through traditional classroom and practical training is expensive, logistically complex and inconsistent in quality across different trainers, locations and cohorts, while the consequences of inadequate training are measured not only in workplace accidents but ...

Building a rent-a-car platform, reservations and fleet management
09.06.2026
Building a rent-a-car platform for the European market involves a layer of complexity that goes beyond the technical architecture, because operating across EU countries means dealing with GDPR-compliant data handling, multilingual customer interfaces, cross-border payment processing and varying consumer protection regulations that differ between markets. Companies expanding their vehicle rental operations across Europe cannot simply translate an existing platform but need a system built from the ground up with internationalisation in mind, where language switching, currency handling and legal document localisation are architectural decisions made at the start of the project rather than afterthoughts added at the end. Prolink develops rent-a-car platforms for European operators with experie ...

How to digitalise tender and proposal tracking: from Excel to custom app
20.05.2026
Companies that regularly participate in tenders and submit business proposals across the EU and North American markets face a problem that is almost identical regardless of industry or size: a system that once worked starts breaking down the moment the volume grows beyond what one person can track in their head. The difference between markets is in the complexity of the tender landscape. In the EU, companies often track public procurement, structural fund calls, framework agreements and private tenders simultaneously, each with different documentation requirements and compliance standards. In North America, the focus is typically on RFP and RFQ processes with strict formatting requirements and tight submission windows. In both cases, the operational challenge is the same: too many moving p ...
