Automated data export to business intelligence tools

Purpose

1. Automate the extraction, transformation, and export of carsharing transaction, location, and fleet data into business intelligence (BI) tools for advanced analytics, dashboarding, and KPI monitoring.

2. Automates syncing real-time or scheduled data on bookings, vehicle locations, user activity, revenue, and utilization from core databases to BI ecosystems for seamless analytics.

3. Automate data aggregation from multiple sources—telematics, customer apps, payment processors—enabling consolidated and automated reporting.

4. Automator ensures regulatory, operational, and financial metrics are updated for executive decision-making without manual intervention.

Trigger Conditions

1. Scheduled triggers: daily, hourly, or custom intervals for regular data dump and automate fresh uploads.

2. Event-based triggers: completion of booking, new vehicle entry, customer signup, or payment processed—automate immediate sync on critical events.

3. Manual triggers: admins trigger ad-hoc automated exports for investigation or custom reporting.

4. Data threshold triggers: automates export when data exceeds specific size/unusual activity detected.
