Hi @Robert14358,

 

Custom visuals typically require folks with a web development background, due to the technologies necessary for their implementation. However, it's a great help for the prospective developer if they have a background in Power BI as well, as there are some very specific things to think about (as well as some restrictions that MS imposes on custom visuals) that can potentially make implementing them difficult (and potentially expensive in terms of effort and cost). As such, it's hard to find specific companies that will specifically advertise and offer these.

 

The resources that @Poojara_D12 has provided are a good start if you want to engage a specific company for their services. Here is a direct link to a search on AppSource for vendors that advertise custom visual development as a service, which may help you find someone.

 

I used to offer visual development services to companies, but now I only provide consulting assistance directly to other visual vendors. Still, if you have questions about whether a specific idea is feasible or how complex it might be, you're welcome to book an introductory call with me, and we can discuss.

 

Cheers,

 

Daniel

Hi @Robert14358 

Yes, there are several companies and platforms where organizations can find Power BI contractors or developers to create custom visuals, especially when native visuals or marketplace options don't meet specific requirements. One of the most commonly used platforms is Microsoft AppSource, where vendors and partners list custom visuals as well as consulting services; from there, you can connect with certified Microsoft partners who specialize in Power BI development. Additionally, Upwork, Toptal, and Fiverr are popular freelance platforms where you can post a project or browse profiles of data visualization experts who offer custom Power BI visual development. You can also explore LinkedIn to find independent contractors or boutique consulting firms with Power BI expertise. Some companies prefer reaching out directly to established Microsoft Gold Partners or data analytics consulting firms like MAQ Software, XLCubed, or OKViz, which specialize in creating custom visuals and offer full design and development support. In summary, whether you're looking for a freelancer or a dedicated firm, there are multiple avenues—ranging from freelance platforms to Microsoft partner networks—where you can find professionals experienced in developing custom Power BI visuals tailored to your business needs.
