FAQ’s
Popdock is a universal query engine that can be used by end users across all business systems. Popdock allows those configurable queries to be displayed in a number of ways: Via Popdock’s web browser UI, in Microsoft Excel as refreshable reports, embedded within another business application where users prefer to work, as connected sensitive data snippets for end users or consumed as an API by your developers.
Businesses use many applications, which means business-critical data is stored in many locations. Traditionally companies would physically move data from one database to another to share data across applications. This can be a difficult process that results in duplicated or missing data. Virtual Integration refers to connecting apps without the heavy lift of moving the data. Virtual integration allows you to share data across apps by simply displaying any data from any app, inside any other app. Virtual integration makes sharing data across the organization a much simpler and streamlined process. With better data, the whole team is smarter.
Popdock widgets are embeddable objects and allow you to present data, from any data source, inside of the app you work in. This is all done without writing a single line of code. Widgets have options that can be turned on/off that allow users to add filters, view related details, search, add columns, and even take action on a record (examples: open a record, run a process, or update information). Widgets help see the data you need to do your job, without switching apps.
Smartconnect does not have any competitors in the Microsoft Dynamics space. Our deep knowledge and detailed connectors set us apart from every other iPaas in the Microsoft space. We have worked with Microsoft ERP for 15 years. We compete mostly with developers writing custom integration solutions or one-off specific solutions that only integrate one system to another – in a rigid fashion. Smartconnect provides a single solution around which our customers build integration strategies, rather than deploying multiple disparate integration solutions. There are some other iPaas solutions that advertise that they are in the same market such as Tibco Scribe, Celigo, and Boomi. These solutions connect at the API level but have not been crafted as end-user tools dedicated to ERP integration.
SmartConnect provides data integration between business applications. SmartConnect is an iPaaS (integration platform as a service) that is designed for the technical end user, IT team, and systems analysts. The SmartConnect platform gives you control to build, modify, and manage the integrations that connect your business software together.
Smartconnect is a cloud integration platform. Smartconnect can also be deployed as an on-premise solution. A subscription to SmartConnect gives you license rights to deploy your integrations either on-premise, in the cloud, or both.
SmartConnect was originally built with ERP integration at its core. Accounting systems and ERPs are in our DNA. We believe that ERPs are the backbone of every business, and we specialize in importing and exporting data to your accounting system. We have also become experts at integrating to and from every business productivity software including eCommerce, industry verticals, CRM systems, custom applications, legacy applications, and cloud applications. The SmartConnect platform is so configurable that you can connect any and all of these systems together even if there is no ERP integration involved.
The SmartConnect.com app is hosted in Microsoft Azure and is available to be hosted in multiple regions: North America – US, United Kingdom – West, and EU – West Europe, and Australia.

One of the most powerful features in SmartConnect is the ability to connect to any application with a REST API. That means that we can connect to almost every cloud productivity app, and both pull data from it and write data to it.
