Power BI as a service
Hi Anonymous ,
For the external users which are outside of your organization, you may need to invite the users as guest first of all for further share report or dashboard content , see more detail: Distribute Power BI content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B .
Make sure to enable the Share content with external users feature in the Power BI admin portal before inviting guest users. You can also use the Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization feature. It lets you select which guest user can see and create content in workspaces, including browsing your organization's Power BI.
The guest user must have the proper licensing in place to view the content that you shared. There are three ways to make sure the user has a proper license: use Power BI Premium, assign a Power BI Pro license, or use the guest's Power BI Pro license.
When using the Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization feature, guest users contributing content to workspaces or sharing content with others require a Power BI Pro license.
For reference:

Share Power BI dashboards and reports with coworkers and others

Thanks to both of you,
I am sorry but I am an Industrial Engineer and my knowledge on IT is quite low, so probably I am not getting the answer I need cause I am not explaining myself properly. Let me please try again.
- Currently: As I said, We have sensors installed in other companies (our clients), and we receive the data in our servers. We have developed some reports in Power Bi desktop, which are really interesting to analyze and visualize the data we receive.
- Future: We want our clients to visualize that reports also. We know other companies use Iot platforms for doing this. Can we do something similar with Power Bi? Or maybe there are better software for this purpose?
I have read about creating and sharing power bi apps, could it be a way? Thank you very much for your patience!
