ZAP and Tableau have partnered to provide smart integrations and pre-built Tableau analytics for ZAP Data Hub ERP datasources, packaged for data models with our new Unified Layer technology. We call them Unified Data Models as they abstract datasource-specific design and work across applications and reporting tools.
ZAP’s Tableau analytics cover the Financials, Sales, Procurement, Inventory, and Manufacturing modules of your ERP. They give you a summarized view of your business through metrics and visualizations – which means added insights into your business and improved decision-making. They also let you drill down to the underlying transactions, so there is no compromise on getting to the detail!
Our new Unified Layer technology provides an abstracted, trusted and standardized reporting structure for common entities.
When applied to pipelines of a data model, it ensures you can leverage all of ZAP’s supported pre-built analytics.
We have packaged several Unified Layers for common entities. The data models that use them are called ZAP unified data models and they also include a set of Tableau Extracts and Tableau Workbooks, organized by functional module, such as Sales.
Tableau Extracts act as a columnar, aggregated and in-memory data model on top of the data warehouse that’s generated by ZAP Data Hub, providing you with lighting fast performance.
If Tableau is your reporting tool of choice, ZAP Data Hub for Tableau is the perfect solution for your data unification, data modelling and reporting challenges.
In addition to having packaged a set of Tableau Extracts and Workbooks for core ERP modules, ZAP Data Hub integrates core elements of its data model and processing technology with Tableau.
How does it work? It’s quite simple! If you have already invested in Tableau or are planning to do so, you’d simply deploy a pre-built ZAP unified data model for a given ERP datasource, and then:
