Connect lightspeed and QlikView

Connecting Lightspeed and QlikView for a company could enable the transfer of sales or inventory data from Lightspeed into QlikView, where it could be analyzed and visualized. This integration could support more informed decision-making by allowing users to create custom reports and dashboards based on operational data.

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

Why connect lightspeed and QlikView?

A company operating both Lightspeed and QlikView could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable data exchange between their point-of-sale operations and business intelligence reporting. Without such a connection, staff may be required to manually export sales, inventory, or customer data from Lightspeed and import it into QlikView for analysis. This manual process could lead to duplicate data entry, errors, and inconsistencies. Over time, records in each system could diverge, resulting in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information. For example, if sales data in QlikView does not reflect the most recent transactions in Lightspeed, reports and dashboards could misrepresent actual business performance. Data that could be exchanged between a point-of-sale system like Lightspeed and a business intelligence tool such as QlikView includes sales transactions, product inventory levels, customer records, and possibly employee performance metrics. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system makes available through its API, and must be 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 lightspeed and QlikView 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.
