Konect isn't a standalone data collection app. It's built to plug into the platforms your team already relies on, from GIS software to dashboards to your database. Nine of those connections, and what each one saves you, below.

Konect isn’t a standalone data collection app. It’s built to plug into the platforms your team already relies on, from GIS software to dashboards to your database. Nine of those connections, and what each one saves you, below. 

  1. ArcGIS Pro. Your GIS team stays in the software they already use, no re-keying data between systems. A dedicated Python toolbox publishes ESRI feature service data, shapefiles, and geodatabase feature classes straight into Konect, and pulls Konect data back into your ArcGIS Pro project. 

  1. QGIS. Teams on QGIS get the same two-way flow without switching platforms. A Konect plugin downloads ESRI feature service data into Konect and imports feature services, file geodatabases, MapInfo TAB files, PostgreSQL, and GeoJSON. Data exports out of Konect as Shapefile, MapInfo TAB, or GeoJSON for use back in QGIS. 

  1. PDF reports. No one spends an afternoon formatting a report by hand before a meeting. Through the Adobe Document Generation API and AWS, a Konect dataset turns into a formatted PDF document automatically. 

  1. Excel. Stakeholders who live in spreadsheets get the data in the format they actually use, without you exporting and reformatting it yourself. The same AWS pipeline auto-generates Konect datasets as Excel workbooks. 

  1. Calendar invites. Follow-up gets scheduled the first time correctly, even across a distributed team, with no manual double-checking of time zones. The Konect Calendar Scheduler reads the timezone of the device that submitted a form and automatically schedules a calendar invite with a custom message in that timezone. 

  1. Power BI. Field data lands directly in the dashboards your business already runs on, no manual data pulls. Konect connects through the Power Query SDK and Microsoft’s data connector framework. 

  1. Tableau. Reporting stays current without anyone exporting and re-importing files. A web data connector pulls Konect data directly into Tableau dashboards. 

  1. Google Looker Studio. Field photos and data show up in the Google reporting stack your team already uses. An app script syncs Konect attachments into Google Cloud Storage, and a hybrid option connects Looker Studio with Konect photos stored in an AWS PostgreSQL database. 

  1. PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Teams with existing database infrastructure connect Konect at the data layer instead of building a workaround. This integration is available through our reseller partners.
