Tableau integration for live dashboards across your ERP and WMS data.
Connect Xorosoft's orders, inventory, and fulfillment data directly to Tableau, so dashboards and workbooks stay current without manual exports or spreadsheet uploads.
SYNC
One connection from Xorosoft data to live dashboards
Xorosoft data becomes a live source, not a stale export.
When teams export Xorosoft data into spreadsheets to build reports, dashboards go stale the moment the export is taken, and no two people are ever looking at the same numbers. The integration connects Xorosoft's data directly to Tableau as a live or extract-based source, so dashboards and workbooks refresh automatically instead of relying on manual exports. Tap each point to see how.

Who Tableau is, and what it brings to Xorosoft
Tableau is a visual analytics platform - the system Xorosoft connects to for live dashboards and workbooks.
Founded in 2003
Tableau was founded in 2003 by Christian Chabot, Pat Hanrahan, and Chris Stolte, based on data visualization research from Stanford University.
Built around VizQL
Tableau is built around VizQL, a visual query language that turns drag-and-drop actions into database queries.
Went public in 2013
Tableau went public on the NYSE in 2013.
Acquired by Salesforce
Salesforce acquired Tableau in 2019 in an all-stock deal.
Tableau is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and offers both live connections and scheduled extracts for connecting to underlying data.
Everything the Tableau integration handles
Tap any capability to expand the explanation, benefit, example, and sub-features.
Live & extract-based data connection
+Xorosoft data connects to Tableau directly, supporting both live connections and scheduled extract refresh.
Benefit: teams choose between always-current live queries or fast, scheduled snapshots.
Example: an inventory workbook uses a live connection while a historical trend workbook runs on a nightly extract.
- Live connection
- Scheduled extract refresh
- Per-workbook configuration
Prebuilt workbook templates
+Ready-made workbooks cover common views - inventory, sales, fulfillment - out of the box.
Benefit: teams get useful reporting without building from scratch.
Example: a prebuilt fulfillment workbook is ready to use the same day the connection is set up.
- Inventory templates
- Sales & fulfillment templates
- Ready-to-use worksheets
Custom dashboard building
+Teams can build their own worksheets and dashboards against Xorosoft data sources using Tableau's drag-and-drop designer.
Benefit: reporting adapts to how each team actually wants to see the data.
Example: a finance analyst builds a custom margin worksheet using Xorosoft order and cost data.
- Drag-and-drop worksheet design
- Custom dashboards
- Flexible layouts
VizQL-compatible datasets
+Xorosoft data sources work natively with Tableau's VizQL engine for calculated fields and analysis.
Benefit: teams calculate exactly the metrics they need, not just what's prebuilt.
Example: a calculated field derives rolling 30-day fulfillment rate from Xorosoft order data.
- Calculated fields
- Custom measures
- Advanced calculations
Row-level security
+User filters restrict access to specific rows of data by role, region, or brand.
Benefit: the same workbook shows the right data to the right person.
Example: a regional manager sees only their region's inventory in the same shared dashboard everyone else uses.
- User filters
- Region/brand restrictions
- Shared workbook, filtered view
Scheduled extract refresh
+Extracts refresh automatically on a configurable schedule.
Benefit: workbooks stay current without anyone manually triggering an update.
Example: a sales extract refreshes every 30 minutes throughout the business day.
- Configurable schedule
- Automatic refresh
- Refresh history
Dashboard actions
+Orders, inventory, and fulfillment worksheets can filter and highlight against each other within a single dashboard.
Benefit: one dashboard answers questions that used to need three separate exports.
Example: clicking a product on an inventory worksheet filters the sales and fulfillment views to match.
- Filter actions
- Highlight actions
- Linked worksheets
Mobile dashboard access
+Dashboards are viewable from Tableau's mobile apps.
Benefit: decision-makers can check current numbers away from a desk.
Example: an executive checks the fulfillment dashboard from a phone before a supplier call.
- Mobile dashboards
- On-the-go access
- Same live data
Reporting
+Reports on extract reliability, usage, and data source performance together.
Benefit: visibility into how the reporting layer itself is performing.
Example: a dashboard shows which workbook gets viewed most often each week.
- Usage analytics
- Extract reliability metrics
- One dataset
Error monitoring
+Monitors data source connections and flags extract refresh failures, timeouts, and connection issues instantly.
Benefit: a stale dashboard gets caught before someone makes a decision on old data.
Example: a failed overnight extract refresh is flagged before the morning leadership meeting.
- Error queue
- Refresh failure / timeout / connection
- Instant alerts
