The reason
Why connect Exact Bouw to DigiData?
The Exact Bouw connector contains supported entities from Athena and Heimdall. DigiData synchronizes employees, hours, materials, equipment, projects, contacts, invoices, cost centers, waste flows and cost price schedules. The tables are available via OData and CSV. Which analyses are possible depends on the fields in the source and the relationships and calculations you set up in the reporting model.
Connecting Exact Bouw to Power BI in short
The Exact Bouw connector is available and synchronizes supported tables such as Staff, Time registration (HourLog), Material bookings and Equipment use. DigiData offers these source records via OData for Power BI and Excel and via CSV for separate exports. The connector only supplies the entities listed on this page; source permissions, the source API, and your sync schedule determine which records and updates are available. You set up relationships, calculations and dashboards in the reporting tool.
