New Data Panda connectors in August 2026

In August 2026, we added seven Data Panda connectors: ECB Exchange Rates, ProfitPlus Webshop, SAP S/4HANA, Exact Venice, OpusFlow, ABAX and Sprout Social.

They bring exchange rates, web orders, ERP postings, Belgian accounting, installation projects, vehicles and machinery, and social media data into the same place. Here is what you can do with each source in practice.

ECB Exchange Rates: one rate per day, the same for everyone

The European Central Bank publishes reference rates for around thirty currencies against the euro on every working day. They are free and need no API key. If you invoice or buy in dollars, pounds or Swiss francs, you probably use them already. The problem is that every application fetches them separately, and the same invoice soon carries a different amount in each system.

With the connector, you keep one table per day and per currency pair, with the publication date on every row. That gives you the month-end revaluation of open items, the realised exchange-rate result per customer and supplier, and a check of the spread your bank charges. Do agree beforehand what you do with weekends and ECB closing days: the last known rate or the next one. Otherwise, you will have the same discussion at every closing.

ProfitPlus Webshop: from web order to real margin

ProfitPlus is a Belgian ERP from Kortrijk for production and trade SMEs. The webshop is part of the package and runs on the same article file, the same stock levels and the same tiered pricing as the rest of the business. What does not sit next to it: what that click cost in Google Ads, what Bpost or GLS charged for the parcel, and what the same customer bought at the counter last quarter.

In a warehouse, you join all of that onto the order line. You can compare the webshop with counter sales and orders from the sales rep, find idle stock and the value tied up in it, and track lead time from web order to delivery per carrier. Start with the article code. If your carrier, your advertising platform and your ERP each use a different key, the first weeks go to matching instead of analysis.

SAP S/4HANA: finance and logistics from one ERP

SAP S/4HANA covers finance, sales, purchasing, stock, production and projects. In finance, the Universal Journal stores every posting from the general ledger, controlling and fixed assets as one line, so you read cost centres and profit centres from one table. The sales order, the delivery and the CRM opportunity behind that posting still sit elsewhere.

In your warehouse, you put the posting lines next to the sales and purchasing flow. You can then see lead time from sales order to payment, margin per material and customer, actual versus budget per cost centre, and duplicate business partners across company codes and your CRM. Pick one company code and one flow to start with, order-to-cash for example. S/4HANA holds too much to load in one go.

Exact Venice: Belgian accounting outside the package

Exact Venice is Exact's Belgian accounting package, developed in Bruges. It is a different product from Exact Online: Venice runs locally or in Exact's hosted version, with the Belgian journals, CODA bank statements and the VAT return for Intervat. Many SMEs and their accountants work with it, but the data usually stays inside the package.

With the connector, you bring customers, suppliers, invoices and open items into your warehouse. There you can build a ranking of slow payers over twelve months, a cash position based on CODA movements, a preview of the VAT position per period, and a comparison of this financial year with the last per customer and supplier. If you run several company files, you roll them up into one view. First agree which ledger accounts belong to which report line, because that often differs per file.

OpusFlow: what an installation job actually earned

OpusFlow is an ERP for installers of solar panels, heat pumps, home batteries and charging stations. Quotes, project planning, site forms, hours, stock and invoicing sit in one package. A signed quote says what a job should earn. Only with the hours, materials and final invoice next to it do you know what it actually earned.

In your warehouse, you compare the quote value with registered hours, materials and purchase invoices per job. You track quote conversion per salesperson and product type, quoted versus registered hours per technician, and projects that needed a second site visit after handover. Ask technicians to book hours on the job, not on a collective project. Otherwise, margin per job never adds up.

ABAX: vans, machinery and tools on site

ABAX tracks vehicles with an electronic trip log, machinery with position, running hours and fuel level, and tools with small Bluetooth trackers. Its customers are mostly in construction and civil works, landscaping and equipment rental. The platform knows where everything is and how long it ran, but not what you invoiced for it.

Put the usage log next to your invoices and you see an excavator that ran 31 hours on a site where you charged 20. You can also build running hours per site, equipment that sat idle for a week, maintenance based on actual running hours instead of the calendar, and business versus private kilometres per driver for the tax file. Make sure the site codes in ABAX match those in your planning and invoicing. Otherwise, every site gets a different name in every system.

Sprout Social: which post brought in a customer

Sprout Social is where your team publishes, replies and reports on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and TikTok. Comments, direct messages and reviews from Google or Tripadvisor land in one inbox, with tags and the colleague who replied. Its reporting shows which post got the most reactions. It does not show what that post cost or who became a customer afterwards.

In your warehouse, you put post performance next to your Meta and LinkedIn advertising costs of the same week, match messages tagged as lead to your CRM contacts, and track response times per colleague and per network. For businesses with several locations, the evolution of reviews per location comes on top. Agree on a fixed set of inbox tags. Free-form tags mostly create clean-up work later.

Start with a question that comes back every week

A connector is not the end point. Pick one question that currently costs your team time every week or every month.

• Which rate did we use on that dollar invoice, and can we show it to an auditor?
• What do we keep on a web order after shipping, returns and advertising cost?
• How long does it take from sales order to payment, and where does it get stuck?
• Which customers always pay late?
• On which jobs are we still making money, and on which are we not?
• Which machines run more hours than we invoice?
• Which post or campaign actually brought in a customer?

That question also helps you settle the definitions: what is a site, a project, a customer, an invoiced hour? That work determines whether a report is useful in the end.

From one source to one useful report

We usually start with one source, one question and one report or check. First, we land the raw data. Then we agree on the definitions. Only then do we build the dashboard, workflow or internal app.

This lets you check early whether the numbers are right, without spending months on a data model nobody uses. If you use one of these systems and want to decide where to start, we are happy to take a look with you.
