WebDAV

The integration

BrightAnalytics connects seamlessly with WebDAV to transform file-based business data into dynamic, automated components of your central corporate dashboard. While direct API connections to ERP and CRM systems cover your core transactional data, many organizations prefer to keep automated server dumps, rolling budgets, or legacy system extracts hosted securely on their own WebDAV-enabled private servers or Network Attached Storage (NAS).

Instead of requiring IT or finance teams to manually download files or handle error-prone file transfers, BrightAnalytics establishes a secure, automated extraction pipeline directly with your WebDAV directories. The platform periodically scans these secure folders, parses the latest Excel or CSV files, maps the data points automatically, and merges them into your central management reports. This guarantees that files stored on your private infrastructure are treated with the same real-time rigor and accuracy as your live transactional ledgers.

  • In BrightAnalytics, data retrieved via Microsoft OneDrive instantly enhances your master reporting:

    • Automated Budget versus Actuals (Variance Analysis)

    • Ingestion of granular rolling forecasts and strategic business scenarios

    • Consolidated non-financial KPIs (e.g., ESG metrics, operational safety scores, HR headcounts)

    • Historical data migration from legacy or decommissioned platforms

    • Day-one data onboarding for newly acquired corporate entities

About WebDAV

WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a well-established, highly reliable network protocol extension of HTTP that allows clients to remotely manage, edit, and transfer files on a web server. Widely implemented across corporate private clouds, secure network drives, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems (such as Synology or QNAP), WebDAV functions as a highly secure, firewall-friendly alternative to traditional FTP or SFTP servers. Backed by standard web encryption (HTTPS) and flexible access permissions, WebDAV provides enterprise IT and finance departments with a stable, secure, and universally compatible infrastructure to share and centralize file-based corporate assets without relying on public consumer cloud providers.

“The big advantage is that they can link with many systems very quickly. We work with two completely different packages, a cloud-based and an on-premises package, and yet BrightAnalytics manages to capture all the information in one view.”
