Business Central + Databox Dashboard

Posted on by

Hi Everyone.

Just wondering if anyone out there has managed to connect BC to Databox (https://databox.com/).

We are wanting live data from BC to be displayed in a dashboard on screens in the office. So far I have not been able to find a workable solution.

Thanks

    Hi, I have clients using CData, which I think is similar to Databox.
    You can publish your data to a WebService, or create new API pages (APIs, SOAP and OData Web), and connect this data from within the tool.

    More details:

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    Hi

    We could not find the solution for that as well. They suggested the following integration but was not really helpful

    www.appypie.com/.../databox

    or use service like below to take your data to Azure SQL and then connect to Databox

    There is no out of the box support for this.

    But databox got an API that you can send data to, so it should be possible to build a customization for that.

    I assume you run BC SaaS.
