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.
