Why teams connect Extensiv (3PL Central) and Microsoft Power Bi

Put Extensiv (3PL Central)'s records into Microsoft Power Bi as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Microsoft Power Bi computes back where Extensiv (3PL Central) can use them.

Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Extensiv (3PL Central), so Extensiv (3PL Central) always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Extensiv (3PL Central) carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Microsoft Power Bi, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Users and workspace access for periodic access reviews reconciled against an HR or Microsoft Entra ID source of record.
  • 02 Mirror Workspaces, Reports, Dashboards, and Dataset metadata into a catalog database so teams discover Power BI content from a central index.
  • 03 Consolidate order and shipment data across 3PL clients into a reporting database for billing and SLA tracking.
  • 04 Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.

Where Extensiv (3PL Central) is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Extensiv (3PL Central) syncs into Microsoft Power Bi for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

What you can sync between Extensiv (3PL Central) and Microsoft Power Bi

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Extensiv (3PL Central) objects Microsoft Power Bi objects How this pairing syncs
Items SKU masters kept aligned between the merchant's systems and the warehouse. Reports Report definitions and metadata read via GET /reports and per-workspace GET /groups/{id}/reports; enumerated to mirror the content inventory into a catalog. Items is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Reports to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory On-hand and available quantities by warehouse, mirrored out to drive channel availability. Dashboards and Tiles Dashboards and their pinned tiles read via GET /dashboards and /dashboards/{id}/tiles; inventoried to map dashboard content back to its source datasets. Inventory is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Dashboards and Tiles to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Outbound fulfillment orders pushed in from commerce or ERP systems. Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. Orders is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Dataflows to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receivers Inbound receiving records (receipts/ASNs) that confirm stock arrival back to purchasing systems. Datasources and Gateways The connections behind datasets and dataflows and the on-premises gateways serving them, read via REST for lineage and dependency mapping. Receivers is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Datasources and Gateways to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Carrier and tracking details synced back once orders ship. Refresh History Dataset refresh runs read via GET /datasets/{id}/refreshes, including status, type, and timing, to alert on failed or slow scheduled refreshes. Shipments is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Refresh History to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Warehouses Facility records that partition inventory and order routing. Workspaces (Groups) Containers for content read via GET /groups (tenant-wide via GET /admin/groups); mirrored to reproduce the tenant's content hierarchy in a catalog. Warehouses is specific to Extensiv (3PL Central) and Workspaces (Groups) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Extensiv (3PL Central) and Microsoft Power Bi

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Extensiv (3PL Central) Microsoft Power Bi Sub-second propagation

DetectionExtensiv (3PL Central) notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook events for order, receipt, item, and inventory changes, with polling on modified-date filters as a fallback.

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Extensiv (3PL Central) records.

Microsoft Power Bi Extensiv (3PL Central) Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Extensiv (3PL Central) through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Extensiv (3PL Central): Subject to the platform's API rate limits; batch endpoints reduce call volume for order and inventory syncs.
  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
