Case Study: Unlocking API Data in
Tableau 2023.1 for Vantage Elevation
Client:
Vantage Elevation – A leader in elevator manufacturing and modernization solutions.
Challenge:
Vantage Elevation runs Tableau 2023.1, the last perpetual-license version of Tableau. They needed to connect their dashboards to machine monitoring data — a critical input for operational decision-making.
However, this data was only accessible through APIs, and Tableau 2023.1 has no native API integration capabilities. Without a solution, vital production data would remain locked outside their analytics platform.
TSRB Solution:
TSRB Systems engineered a custom middleware integration that acted as a translator between Tableau and the API source.
- The middleware converted the SQL queries generated by Tableau into API calls.
- API responses were transformed back into SQL-compatible data that Tableau could consume in real time.
This innovative bridge allowed Tableau to pull the required data seamlessly — without forcing an upgrade or subscription change.
Timeline:
Implementation completed in under one week from requirements to production deployment.
Results:
- Direct API access in Tableau 2023.1 without native API support.
- Machine monitoring data now drives real-time dashboards.
- Users have instant access to critical metrics for operational decision-making.
- Avoided costly upgrade and preserved the perpetual license investment.
