One semantic model, every number reconciles

No. It maps your question onto the semantic model and rejects what it cannot ground; the figures come from the same query engine the pivot studio uses.

Yes — Business Intelligence ships in both the Desktop Suite and the Cloud Suite. The Desktop edition runs it against a local database on your own machine with the network unplugged; the Cloud edition runs it in the browser with roles, approvals and an audit trail over the same books. You choose the edition when you sign up, and the application is the same one either way.

No, and the difference is worth knowing before you choose. Desktop ships eight Insights screens. The semantic model, Analytics Studio, KPI library and AI analyst are Cloud. We flag this on the application card itself rather than in a footnote, because "it has Business Intelligence" meaning two different things across editions is exactly the gap a business discovers after paying.

Semantic model, pivot studio, KPIs, alerts and cockpit. In practice that means a semantic layer, not a second set of numbers, pivot and publish, kpis with thresholds and alerts that watch — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.

It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Business Intelligence reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.

Business Intelligence sits in the Analytics group of the catalogue, alongside Insights. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.

On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. Business Intelligence runs against a database on your own machine, so it behaves identically with the network unplugged; only AI and billing reach out. On the Cloud edition it runs in the browser and needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.

Any business running LekhaPro. Business Intelligence is part of the horizontal suite rather than a trade-specific pack, so it behaves the same whether you are a retailer, a distributor, a manufacturer or a services firm — the industry packs change the screens around it, not the application itself.

Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Business Intelligence without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.

Business Intelligence is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.
