Overview

Zap Data Hub automates the creation and governance of an ERP-centric data warehouse so finance and operations teams work with live, trusted ERP data instead of manual exports. It delivers pre-built, ERP-specific data models and analytics, an Excel add-in for live pivots and reporting, deep Power BI integration, and in-browser analytics — all designed to reduce close times, enforce data quality, and support migrations from legacy ERPs.

Features and Capabilities

• **Core architecture and automation: **Automated data-warehouse creation and ELT pipelines that detect ERP structure and metadata; low-code pipelines deployable to Azure or Microsoft Fabric.
• **Pre-built ERP data models: **Thousands of embedded expert hours produce gold-medallion star schemas and ERP-specific transforms (NAV native logic) to speed deployment and ensure ledger-level accuracy.
• **Data governance & quality: **Duplicate-proof architecture with enforced keys, consolidated single source of truth, history and audit snapshots, and built-in data validation to ensure trusted reporting and compliance.
• **Power BI integration: **Synchronized automated warehouse for Power BI, including prebuilt DAX, star-schema optimizations, and acceleration features that enable faster refreshes and lower Fabric consumption.
• **Excel add-in (Zap Live): **Live ERP data in Excel with preserved formatting, native date intelligence, smart pivots, customizable report layouts, row-level security, and scheduling or triggered distribution.
• **Zap Analytics (web reporting): **No-code, in-browser analytics and formatted reporting as an alternative to Power BI, offering mobile-optimized access and scheduling or distribution options.
• **Performance & cost advantages: **Up to five times faster refreshes compared with common cloud patterns, plus efficiency gains by shifting heavy transformations into the warehouse layer.
• **Multi-source consolidation: **Combines ERP, CRM, e-commerce, WMS, and non-ERP data sources into a governed semantic layer that enables cross-system reporting and reconciliations.
• **Getting started & support: **Includes a guided trial, partner-enabled onboarding, in-app training, and global support to accelerate deployment and assist with migrations from deprecated ERP systems.
• **Cloud deployment options: **Supports Azure SQL and Microsoft Fabric deployment models, including purpose-built connectors and change-detection mechanisms that optimize refresh intervals and hosting costs.
