Virtual Integration & Migration for Dynamics 365 Business Central

Are your users spending a ton of time researching among apps or waiting on other departments to get information?

Virtual Integration is your answer to bringing data together and more convenient. It means that you can display real-time data from one system within another system – the system where your team works. For Dynamics 365 Business Central, this means you can:

  • Embed any external data (CRM, helpdesk, shipping, eCommerce, email, cloud app data) right in Business Central. Data can be embedded in Fastbox and Fasttabs on specific Business Central records without writing any AL code.
  • Embed full Popdock in Business Central.
  • Embed Dynamics 365 Business Central data in other applications.

At the end of the day, companies use best-of-breed apps for their area of the business. Embedding data in Business Central allows your end users to spend less time searching, allows them to share data across the company, and be more productive in Dynamics 365 Business Central.  

Legacy Data Access in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Migrating to a new system – (ERP, CRM, Helpdesk, Marketing, etc) requires a different integration strategy. There is no need to store years of historical data in your new cloud-based system. Reduce costs significantly by moving/synchronizing only the data you require, publishing historical data to a data lake, and using Popdock to quickly access historical data right in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

  • Move historical Dynamics GP, Dynamics SL, and Dynamics NAV (or other app data) to the cloud for easy access.
  • Combine current and historical data into one list (one report) to access.
  • Embed data anywhere you need to see it.

The Query Builder

Get table-level access to create the exact lists and Dynamics 365 Business Central API endpoints without writing a single line of AL code. The Popdock Query Builder for Dynamics 365 Business Central gives you the SmartList Builder-level flexibility to join all the tables, use all of your Business Central Dimensions and optimizes how the data is retrieved. With the Query Builder, you get:

  • Direct access to tables in Dynamics 365 Business Central
  • The ability to link Business Central in an easy interface, without needing to learn AL code.
  • A really fast Business Central API endpoint based on your query to use in integrations and reports.

If you come from the Dynamics GP space, your customers will be familiar with this and want it when they make the move to Dynamics 365 Business Central.
