SPIDER IMPACT – INTEGRATIONS
Integrations
Turn scattered data into clear performance insight
Connect your systems, databases and SaaS tools to Spider Impact. Turn data into actionable insight with expert support from Intrafocus.
Spider Impact, for Sun Life Financial of Canada, has greatly helped us bring together all of our company-wide Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) into a single place. With clear ownership across each specific metric, it has allowed us to improve our monthly reporting of company-wide data, which is on a tight schedule.
Integration
Bring your systems together. Turn data into action.
Most organisations operate across multiple systems. Each one holds part of the picture. Sales data in CRM. Financials in accounting systems. Operational metrics in line-of-business tools. Supporting data in spreadsheets or Google Sheets.
Spider Impact can integrate with any platform across your organisation. For example:
- CRM systems such as Salesforce
- Financial tools such as QuickBooks
- Analytics platforms such as Google Analytics
- Project and service tools such as Jira
- HR and operational systems
- Spreadsheets, Excel and Google Sheets
If your data exists, it can be connected.

Special Systems
System not listed? It can still be connected
The examples above are only part of the picture. With flexible APIs and integration options, Spider Impact can connect directly to almost any system. However, often, the best solution is the simplest: ETL. Extract, Transform, Load. IT departments are, quite rightly, protective about the environments they maintain. Sometimes, they do not like external systems integrating directly and prefer to have an intermediary step. The data from the source system can be extracted into a spreadsheet or CSV file and imported into Spider Impact. At Intrafocus, we have the skills and expertise to work with your IT department to get exactly what you need and automate the process so the result for you is transparent.
The focus is simple: Use the data you already have, without changing how your business operates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What systems can Spider Impact integrate with?
Spider Impact integrates with a wide range of systems, including CRM platforms, finance tools, operational systems, databases, and analytics platforms. It also supports Excel, CSV files, and Google Sheets. If your data exists, it can usually be connected.
Do we need technical expertise to set up integrations?
Not necessarily. Many integrations can be set up using built-in tools and no-code methods. For more complex environments, technical support may be helpful — and Intrafocus provides expert guidance to ensure everything is configured correctly.
Can Spider Impact connect directly to our databases?
Yes. Spider Impact supports direct connections to databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, and others. This allows data to flow directly into your performance framework without manual handling.
How often can data be updated?
Data can be updated on a schedule that suits your organisation — daily, weekly, monthly, or more frequently if needed. Automated updates ensure your KPIs and dashboards always reflect current performance.
What if some of our data isn’t in a system?
Spider Impact includes built-in tools for manual data collection, such as forms and automated reminders. This ensures all KPIs can be updated consistently, even when full automation isn’t possible.
