Rapid versatility with the Credit Hound D365 BC Connector
Challenges
As relevant data is one of the most valuable assets for credit control, our partner – Draycir – has invited Global Mediator to develop a two-way connector for Credit Hound software and Dynamics 365 Business Central. At the beginning of the collaboration, the following goals were defined as the most important to reach:
• To provide fast productivity with an exchange of heavy data loads from cloud-based Business Central to Credit Hound and backward.
• To grant users access to modify the set of parameters for the data exchange between applications manually.
• To empower users to gracefully handle updates of their ERP-system in the future without the developer's help.
• The newly built connector should be fully optimized to the current version of Credit Hound.
• To maintain CI/CD during all stages of the development process.

"The speed of data exchange is essential for advanced credit control. The idea of a connector is rather simple, but clean execution required profound skills and knowledge. Global Mediator's team has understood our needs from the very beginning. We felt a strong bond in technical expertise as well."
Solution
01
The connector is fully versatile, enabling fast and smooth data exchange between Business Central, Credit Hound, as well as the reverse direction. The architecture is built through web API.
02
Easy access to the connector is provided via the user's credentials as well as access to the Business Central. It highlights the user-friendliness of the system.
03
The priority of data changes is predefined according to the project's requirements, putting Credit Hound as the single source of truth.
04
To get better speeds on uploads, the system refreshes only modified data saving precious time and enables them to be continuously connected to the relevant data updates.
05
Users can select the required fields to be refreshed, synchronizing them with a time frame – even from 5 sec or less. Simultaneous synchronization for several companies is also foreseen and provided with the Credit Hound D365 BC Connector.
06
Quality Assurance methodology was applied along with all project's phases and supported bug-free development.
07
All code elements have been prepared for Azure DevOps as a tool for maintaining the development lifecycle – based on that project's Git repository was created.
