Why teams connect Syspro and Tableau

Put Syspro's records into Tableau as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Tableau computes back where Syspro can use them.

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Syspro, so Syspro always reflects the current state of Tableau — 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 Syspro carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Tableau, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 02 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 03 Extract job and WIP data into a warehouse for production and costing reports
  • 04 Post shipment confirmations from logistics systems back against SYSPRO sales orders

Common sync patterns

Where Syspro runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

Operational records from Syspro become measurable in Tableau, joinable with the rest of what the company tracks for supply and fulfillment reporting.

Where Syspro is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Syspro syncs into Tableau for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

Write-back where Syspro exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Tableau sync onto the matching records in Syspro, so operations act on what the analysis found.

What you can sync between Syspro and Tableau

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.

Syspro objects Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Suppliers AP supplier records synced with procurement and payment systems. Fields and Columns Columns and calculated fields with their descriptions, exposed by the Metadata API; read to populate a data catalog with governed definitions. Suppliers is specific to Syspro and Fields and Columns to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory items The stock master, kept aligned with WMS and e-commerce catalogs. Published Data Sources Published data sources (.tdsx); their underlying rows are read via the VizQL Data Service, and refresh state is tracked through content webhooks. Inventory items is specific to Syspro and Published Data Sources to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Orders written in from storefronts and CRMs, with status read back out. Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Sales orders is specific to Syspro and Workbooks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and receiving. Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Purchase orders is specific to Syspro and Views to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jobs (work orders) Manufacturing jobs and WIP tracked for production reporting. Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Jobs (work orders) is specific to Syspro and Projects to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills of materials Product structures referenced when syncing manufacturing data. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Bills of materials is specific to Syspro and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Syspro and Tableau

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.

Syspro Tableau Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Syspro for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Syspro records.

Tableau Syspro Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Syspro through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Syspro: Throughput depends on the customer's server sizing; many deployments are on-premise.
  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
