Very cool Reuben, thanks for sharing! Any cool things you’ve seen people using it for? Create data/dashboards comes to mind as a good use case but what else is possible?
We have a customer who uses Veeqo that has it setup to run daily, along with dbt to execute a series of data anomaly/integrity tests and get alerts if something is broken. They also have a custom open orders report powered by the data, their own live warehouse trade stock portal (essentially a dashboard) which their own customers can access at any time, as well as a variety of daily/weekly email integrations.
@Mike not yet - I wasn’t aware there was a marketplace for third-party tools. Assume you are referring to https://marketplace.veeqo.com/ (after a quick Google)? @Ben-Veeqo where is best to reach out? Happy to continue the discussion here/in DMs also.
Hi @Mike - good to meet you and looking forward to being part of your community.
Just one more thing to add to Reuben’s note. Our customers are producing general ledger entries automatically - mapping to sales accounts, etc and there are some nuances around delivery charges that we calculate.
