The reason
Why connect RetailSolutions to DigiData?
The RetailSolutions retail reporting connector synchronizes operational store and workforce data directly to Power BI and Excel via OData. Tables include stores, store groups, employee contracts, leave balances, and weekly planned vs. actual hours without manual exports or custom API development.
Connecting RetailSolutions to Power BI in short
The RetailSolutions connector is available and synchronizes supported tables such as Stores, Store groups, Store structure and Employees. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the RetailSolutions integration
How do I connect RetailSolutions to Power BI?
With DigiData you automatically synchronize RetailSolutions data to an OData feed. In Power BI Desktop, choose 'Get Data', select OData feed and paste the DigiData URL. You can then load, combine and refresh the tables without building a RetailSolutions API connection yourself.
How often is RetailSolutions data refreshed?
Automatic daily synchronization. The availability of new records remains dependent on the source API and your set synchronization schedule.
What does the RetailSolutions connection cost?
DigiData charges platform costs plus an amount per active integration. There are no start-up costs and you can test for 14 days for free. View the current price on the prices page.
How do I compare planned and actual store hours?
Use weekly data and planning versus actuals for the same store and week. Fictional example: 160 planned and 172 actual hours means 12 additional hours, or 7.5% above plan. Compare stores with the same week status; an open week is not equivalent to a closed week.
What retail data is collected?
DigiData retrieves store data, employee data, contracts, competencies, leave balances and weekly reports from RetailSolutions.
Can I filter data per store group?
Yes, via the OData feed you can filter data by store, store group or region for targeted reports.
