Real-time track & tracing. Automatically sending updates to customers. Working data-driven. These are all important key ingredients to your success in the logistics industry. And to be of value to your customers. However, this is only possible with the help of integrations. By communicating with other systems without your employees having to do so manually. Because it cannot affect the efficiency of your operation in any negative way. Therefore, back in 2018, Boltrics started to develop one integration platform to support all the integrations you would need as a logistics service provider: DataHub. Now, with the latest version of DataHub, communicating with other systems is even easier than ever.

The history of DataHub

In 2018, Boltrics started developing the so-called DataHub platform to make EDI integrations possible. In the years that followed, the integration platform grew from 3000 transactions per year to over 19 million transactions in 2023. With over 300 integrations already developed and standardly available in 3PL Dynamics. From AFAS to Shopify and nShift to Portbase.

DataHub 2.0 in a nutshell

In the past years, DataHub has successfully proven to be the way to go to integrate your logistic software with the systems of your customers, accounting software, webshops, and much more. However, as a result of the growing integration demands, Boltrics has started to develop a new DataHub platform: DataHub 2.0. This new platform increases the flexibility of your integrations, offers more insights into your communication, and puts you in the driver’s seat.

Setting up an integration? Just put the puzzle pieces together.

The biggest difference between the current and newest version of DataHub is the flexibility in setting up your communication flows. Now, DataHub is bound to one fixed structure for each flow. In DataHub 2.0, these flows consist of separate components that can be linked. Like putting together the right pieces of a puzzle. Easily and quickly.

Configure a complete integration in one view

Thanks to this basic principle, setting up integrations in DataHub 2.0 is much simpler. Both for our integration consultants and for you. Everything can be done in one view. Directly in your 3PL Dynamics environment. So, when your key users know their way around in the world of integrations, they can set up completely new integrations themselves in no time. In this view, you simply pick what pieces of the puzzle the integrations must have. What is the ‘trigger’, what are the ‘actions’, and what is the ‘endpoint’? Flexibly selected and live with the click of a button.

Quickly analyze and solve errors

Furthermore, DataHub 2.0 makes it possible to act fast when an unexpected error does occur. Because your flow is structured with triggers, actions, and endpoints, you can directly see which of the components causes the error. Enabling your key users to quickly track and solve any errors in the communication flow.

Ready for the future with DataHub 2.0

With the new innovations in DataHub 2.0, the integration platform is ready for the future. Furthermore, it clears the path to enroll other innovations. Packaged integrations, for example. With Packaged Integrations, you can download a completely pre-configured setup of an integration into your logistic software. In just one click.
