Connector

Connect Grand Avenue to Important Information Systems

Grand Avenue’s Connector modules deliver a rich, web-based API for facilitating communication between Grand Avenue and other important information systems.  The Connector Read APIs provide access to Grand Avenue information from reporting tools and data warehouses, and the Connector Write APIs enable external systems to automate the creation of new information in a Grand Avenue instance.

CONNECTOR READ – PULL INFORMATION

Import quality system information into data warehouse or business analytics dashboards.

Connector Read exposes APIs which may be called by external applications to export information on CAPAs, Nonconformances, Issues, Complaints, Training Records, and other important quality system information.  A common use of Connector Read is to connect to business analytical or data warehouse tools to deliver live views of critical quality system data.

CONNECTOR write – CREATE INFORMATION

Keep Grand Avenue up-to-date with important information authored in other information systems.

Connector Write exposes APIs external applications may exercise to create information in a Grand Avenue instance.  APIs include support for standard process items such as Customers, Suppliers, and Parts.
