Did you ever count the number of source systems you rely on in order to track results and performance in various aspects of your business? Maybe not – but we bet there will be a lot! The Blue Visuals API Connector Platform will automatically connect to all your source systems and collect your data into one unified database. From here it’s simply a matter of connecting your preferred dashboard or BI application to a single source.
Automation of data collection
Collecting data from all of your systems manually is a hideous task and automating the process usually involves studying a lot of API documentation and setting up a large number of connections and extraction routines – not to mention maintaining them all. Our API Connector is designed to free you of this job and let you focus on using your data.
The API Connector will automatically fetch your data from all of the source systems at a given frequency and store them in an internal database. Based on this extracted data set new calculated values can be added in the database – ready to use in your front-end application (dashboard, BI system etc.). The API Connector Platform will keep all past data in the internal database and hence over time build a historic dimension that typically cannot be extracted directly from social media API’s.
Use any dashboard or BI application
Once your data has been collected or calculated, it’s time to enjoy the benefits of working with a single source. Almost any dashboard or BI application can be used to access your data in the Blue Visuals API Connector database. Or your data could simply be exported to a spreadsheet format.
Blue Visuals offers complete data visualization solutions based on our own platform or on Klipfolio. Should you prefer a different dashboard or BI application we will help you connect it to the API Connector Platform.
Standard sources and data types
The Blue Visuals API Connector supports a number of widely used source systems and data types out of the box (raw data as well as calculated). This selection of sources and data will be sufficient for many dashboard and reporting solutions and will speed up such projects significantly. We will add new sources and data types frequently to make the API Connector gradually more comprehensive.
The Blue Visuals API Connector Platform can be used out of the box to easily aggregate data from many common sources – or it can be customized to include data from sources of your choosing.
Customizing the API Connector
However, should you wish to include additional data from either the standard sources or from other systems, the API Connector can be customized for your specific needs. No matter the source system, the extracted data will be added to the unified database to maintain a single source for your front-end application and to allow for cross referencing of data from different systems.
