Connect Centric and Tableau

Connecting Centric and Tableau for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of business data from Centric into Tableau for advanced reporting and visualization. This integration could support improved data analysis, allowing business stakeholders to gain insights by leveraging Tableau’s capabilities to interpret and present data originating from Centric.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Centric and Tableau around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Centric and Tableau?

A company operating both Centric and Tableau could consider connecting the two systems to enable more efficient data sharing and reporting. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter or export data from Centric to Tableau, which can consume significant time and increase the risk of errors. As a result, records in each system could become inconsistent, leading to situations where business decisions are based on outdated or mismatched information. This could undermine trust in reporting and analytics, and slow down operational processes that depend on accurate, up-to-date data. If a connection were established, it could allow for the automated transfer of relevant business data from Centric, such as operational metrics, financial figures, or inventory levels, into Tableau for analysis and visualization. This could help ensure that dashboards and reports reflect the most current information available, supporting more timely and informed decision-making. The types of data exchanged would depend on the business processes supported by Centric and the reporting needs addressed in Tableau. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Centric and Tableau make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
