Want to track your projects from Power BI, Tableau or Looker? The Kraaft Data Exchange (KDE) gives you access to a structured database of your workspace — synced in real time ⏱️ Connect it to your favourite data visualisation tool and build your dashboards in just a few clicks.
📊 What is the Kraaft Data Exchange (KDE)?
KDE is a structured database containing all your Kraaft data 💡 It syncs automatically with your workspace in real time.
The principle is simple: connect KDE to your favourite data visualisation tool — and build your dashboards directly from your field data 🎯
A few examples of what you can do with KDE:
📊 Create a Power BI dashboard tracking the progress of all your projects in real time
📈 Analyse your report history in Tableau to spot trends
🗂️ Feed a multi-workspace tracking view to centralise all your activity in one tool

The API and KDE are two complementary tools — but designed for different uses 💡

⚠️ The API and KDE are free during their launch phase — and that's intentional!
We want to first understand how you use our solutions and measure the real server load before setting anything in stone. After a well-established launch, there will likely be an associated cost — but our goal is clear: to keep this as accessible as possible at a fair price that truly reflects usage!
We want KDE to be used to the fullest — and on the server side, to keep up with everyone's pace 💪 Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted :)
