inecta launches food ERP data pipeline for Business Central users

By AI, Created 8:56 PM UTC, May 26, 2026, /AGP/ – inecta has launched inectaETL, a purpose-built data pipeline for food and beverage ERP customers using Microsoft Business Central. The tool is meant to simplify analytics by connecting Business Central data to existing BI stacks without forcing customers to rebuild their data warehouse or change platforms.

Why it matters: - inectaETL is aimed at food and beverage companies that need management reporting from ERP data without adding a custom data warehouse. - The pipeline is designed to reduce manual extraction and data engineering work for teams that already use a BI stack. - inecta says the tool is meant to make transactional Business Central data usable for cross-functional analysis such as yield, cost, and margin reporting.

What happened: - inecta announced the launch of inectaETL on May 27, 2026. - The company built the pipeline for customers using inecta Food ERP, which runs on Microsoft Business Central. - The ETL option is available only for new or existing inecta Food ERP implementations. - The product supports connectors for Fivetran, Snowflake, MotherDuck and Microsoft Fabric.

The details: - inectaETL pulls data from Business Central through a curated API collection. - The pipeline transforms the data for analytical use and loads it into the customer’s chosen platform. - The system ships pre-configured for food-specific data structures, including catch weights, lot traceability, yield calculations and posted production journals. - The pipeline runs on a continuous orchestration server with flexible scheduling. - Customers can keep using their current business intelligence stack while inectaETL manages the food-specific data layer between Business Central and the analytics platform. - inecta says Business Central records operational activity but was not built for cross-functional analysis. - The company points to questions like yield variance by SKU, ingredient cost impact and gross margin shift as examples of reporting that often requires extra work.

Between the lines: - inecta is positioning the product as both an internal proof point and a customer offering. - The company says its CFO and COO built the pipeline because inecta faced the same reporting problem as its clients. - inecta now runs its own management reporting, including revenue, utilization, project profitability and resource cost, directly off the ETL pipeline. - The company says the product was proven on its own data before it was offered to customers. - Ruth Lestina, COO of inecta, said the goal was to solve a challenge the leadership team faced itself and to avoid requiring a custom warehouse, data engineering team or BI platform switch.

What’s next: - Customers can request a demonstration or get more information through inecta.com. - inecta is also directing users to a video on the solution on YouTube. - The company is likely to use the launch to deepen adoption among food ERP customers that want to preserve existing analytics tools while improving data access.

The bottom line: - inectaETL gives food ERP users a ready-made way to move Business Central data into modern analytics tools without rebuilding their reporting stack.
