No Dataset Export Required and Other connectors have limited capabilities for exporting datasets and moving them to power bi whereas the techneith connector provides a smooth transition of data from OODO to Power - BI.
Due to our pagination-based API mechanism, large data odoo is no longer a problem whereas it is a persistent problem which exists in other connectors. If you work with large datasets in Odoo, the export methodology may also fail but Techneith connector ensures that this does not occur.
With the Techneith connector, you can use power query to bring in filtered results on the fly rather than loading the entire data set, which leads to improved performance. Many other connectors on the market do not provide power query feature, and among those that do, Techneith is the most cost efficient.
Technieth Connector is a Feature-rich connector with functionalities such as direct access to ALL odoo data, Power Query, Automatic Scheduled Refresh, Relationship mapping between tables, and no manual intervention.
