Connect Global Shop Solutions and Microsoft Power BI

Connecting Global Shop Solutions and Microsoft Power BI could enable a company to transfer operational and financial data from its ERP environment into a reporting and analytics platform. This could facilitate the creation of dashboards and reports using up-to-date information from business operations, supporting more informed decision-making and performance tracking.

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

Why connect Global Shop Solutions and Microsoft Power BI?

A company that uses both Global Shop Solutions and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from connecting these systems to allow data to be exchanged between them. This connection could help ensure that business intelligence and reporting in Power BI are always based on the most current operational data from Global Shop Solutions. Without such a connection, staff might need to export data manually from the ERP and import it into Power BI, which increases the risk of errors, duplicate entries, and inconsistencies between reports and the actual state of operations. Over time, this manual process could lead to records drifting apart, and managers could end up making decisions based on outdated or incomplete information. If these systems were connected, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on what each system manages and exposes. In the case of an ERP like Global Shop Solutions and a reporting tool like Power BI, commonly exchanged data could include production figures, inventory levels, sales orders, financial transactions, and customer records. The actual scope of data exchange would depend on the specific needs of the business and the technical capabilities of each system. What can be exchanged in practice depends on the APIs and data models each system provides, and this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Global Shop Solutions and Microsoft Power BI 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.
