What is your role/tasks?

I am a Partnership Manager, and my main focus is working with partners to create success stories for end customers through the use of our apps.

You’ve been here since the beginning – what still excites you the most about the future of SmartApps?

We’ve created 16 amazing apps that we truly believe can make a real difference for end customers working in Business Central. But let’s be honest — we haven’t always been the best at communicating the benefits, or showing either partners or end customers exactly how our apps can help take both their Business Central and their business to the next level.

Cutting through the noise is always a challenge, but it’s a challenge we gladly accept. I’m excited to be part of the journey ahead — taking this side of our app development to the next level, while continuing to evolve our apps to meet the needs and demands of Business Central users.

If you could only save one app – which one would you save?

Eagle, for sure! The only downside to Eagle is that it’s so versatile, it can be hard to focus on a customer’s specific challenge — you just want to keep showing them more and more and more…

If you could only choose one app combo, which one would you choose?

Eagle ❤️ Spider. We usually say that if you have a finance department, you need Eagle! But we also know that finance departments often import and export data to and from other systems. With Spider, you get full control of all your integrations — and when you combine it with Eagle, managing data across multiple companies and environments becomes a breeze.

Which app do you think deserves more attention than it gets today – and why?

Smart Dimensions. The key to accurate data analysis is making sure the data you’re analyzing is correct from the start. With Smart Dimensions, you ensure every transaction is tagged with the correct dimension right away — which means you don’t have to waste valuable time fixing errors that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Technical Reference Made Simple

News

So, you’re loving our apps but thinking, “If only it did [insert your brilliant idea here]…”?
Well, good news! You don’t need to wait for us to add your dream feature. With our Technical Reference guides, you can roll up your developer sleeves and make it happen—without turning your app into a spaghetti-code monster.

Why should you care about our Technical References?

We get it. Tinkering with apps might sound intimidating, but with SmartApps Docs, you get a cheat sheet that makes customization a breeze. Here’s why it’s awesome:

  1. Build your way (without breaking anything)

Think of our apps as the perfect starter pack for your business. They’re functional and robust, but if you want extra flair or niche features, our Technical Reference gives you the blueprint. You’re free to tweak without worrying about unraveling the entire system.

  1. Less custom code = less hair pulling

Let’s face it: nobody enjoys maintaining a Frankenstein monster of custom code. That’s where our approach shines. Stick to the provided guidelines, and you’ll have something sleek and maintainable. Plus, your future self (or the poor soul maintaining your system later) will thank you.

  1. Stay on the cutting edge

Ever been blindsided by an update that breaks your setup? Not here. Our docs keep you informed about deprecated features and compatibility tweaks so you can make informed adjustments before things go haywire.

The SmartApps Technical Reference: your developer’s best friend

Here’s what you’ll love about it:

  • Crystal clear documentation: No cryptic developer lingo here. We keep things straightforward and actionable so you can focus on your enhancements.
  • Step-by-step guides: Need to add a feature? The Technical Reference walks you through without requiring a Ph.D. in coding.
  • Integration guidance: Seamlessly connect your app with other tools or expand its functionality with minimal guesswork.

 

Fun and functional customization awaits!

You’ve got the vision; we’ve got the tools. Ready to add that special sauce to your SmartApps? Check out our Technical Reference section today and unleash your inner tech wizard. Who knows, maybe your next tweak will be the one your entire team wonders how they ever lived without!

Tina Talks SmartApps

News

We sat once again down for a follow-up to hear how Tinas role has evolved, what she’s most proud of, and what continues to inspire her in her work with partners and documentation.

Read Tina´s second post

You’ve been at SmartApps for a long time now – what’s the biggest change you’ve seen during that time?

The evolution of Eagle! I can barely find the words to describe what the app has become over the past few years. I thought it was absolutely amazing from the start, and I couldn’t even begin to imagine what it would eventually be capable of.
Now, the app is massive, yet it hasn’t lost its user-friendliness along the way — it’s still easy to set up, easy to understand, and incredibly powerful.

Do you have a favorite app story or partner success that stuck with you?

I overheard a customer talking to a potential one, and it honestly warmed my heart to hear things like, ‘I used to do it all manually, and honestly, I don’t even understand how I managed before this functionality existed…’
It really left a mark on me, because it was proof that we’ve created something truly good — something that’s actually made a real difference in someone’s day-to-day work out in the field.

What do you look forward to achieving or exploring in your role during this  year?

I’m excited to see where Eagle is headed! I already know what’s coming, but I’m really looking forward to seeing how the market reacts.
I want to be part of more customer journeys and make a difference where it truly matters. I want to see the apps doing real work for the users — not just supporting them, but actually taking tasks off their hands.

Do you have a go-to SmartApps “life hack” you often share with partners or users?

It has to be the ability to export and import KPIs between companies and users… Instead of repeating the same process over and over, those buttons are just there — exactly where you need them. What used to take hours now takes seconds. It’s such a great feature! The same goes for Function Settings and Workflow Automation…

Is there a moment when you felt like “this is exactly why I love what I do”?

It was probably during a demo I held for a customer — just an hour or so after our meeting, they messaged me saying, ‘We’re in!’ The potential of the app had clearly come through, and the content was strong enough that there was zero hesitation about jumping on board.

Maybe also when a customer who’s been using the app for a while reaches out and asks, ‘Hey, is it possible to do this to see that…?’ — and I get to say yes. That moment when they realize the only real limit now is their imagination — that’s powerful.

Workflows at SmartApps Docs: Your How-To Playbook

News

Ever wonder how to make the most of our apps? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! The Workflow section in SmartApps Docs is like your personal operations manual—but way cooler. It’s packed with step-by-step workflows that explain exactly how each app works, what it does, and (most importantly) how to use it to its full potential.

What Makes Our Workflows So Useful?

  1. Clear and Actionable Processes

You don’t need to be a tech genius to follow along. Our workflows break down each app’s functionality into easy-to-digest steps. Think of it as an app tutorial, but without the fluff.

  1. Role-Specific Guidance

Different people in your organization handle different tasks—so why should everyone get the same instructions? These workflows are designed with roles in mind. Whether you’re a project manager, finance guru, or admin superhero, you’ll know exactly what you need to do.

  1. Standard vs. App-Specific Tasks

Our workflows don’t just tell you what to do—they tell you why. By differentiating between app-specific actions and standard processes, they make it easy to see where the app fits into your existing workflow.

  1. Links to Detailed Documentation

Need more info? Every workflow is just a click away from in-depth technical docs. It’s all about giving you the tools to get as detailed as you want.

How to Use Workflows Like a Pro

  • Start with the Basics: Explore the app’s core functionality and see how it aligns with your needs.
  • Map Roles to Tasks: Use role-specific workflows to train your team and assign responsibilities.
  • Dive Deeper: Use the provided links to explore advanced features and processes when you’re ready to level up.

Why Settle for Guesswork?

With the Workflow section of SmartApps Docs, you can turn your app from “useful” to “indispensable.” Whether you’re onboarding a new team or optimizing processes, these guides make it easy to understand and apply the app in your organization.

Ready to explore?

Head over to SmartApps docs and discover how our workflows can simplify your day.

Spider – The smart integration hub

Spider

Businesses today operate with various software solutions, and ensuring seamless integration between them is essential. Spider acts as a central hub, connecting Microsoft Business Central with external systems to keep data synchronized and workflows efficient.

Why the name Spider?

Much like a spider weaving an intricate web to connect different points, the Spider app interlinks your systems, enabling smooth communication between them. Spider Sue, our integration specialist, ensures that all your data flows seamlessly between platforms, eliminating manual work and reducing errors.

Build and expand your integration capabilities

Spider is more than just a connector—it’s a flexible integration toolbox. With built-in functionalities for managing external systems, web services, API pages, and data queues, it provides a solid foundation for creating custom integrations tailored to your needs.

Ensure data consistency across all systems

Keeping data accurate and up to date is critical for smooth business operations. Spider logs changes in Business Central and extracts them to synchronize with external systems, ensuring that all platforms remain aligned in real time.

Streamline data imports and exports

Manually tracking and transferring files can lead to errors and inefficiencies. Spider simplifies this process by allowing you to monitor file progress, access historical records, and quickly resolve any issues that arise. If an error occurs, you can correct the data and retry the process with minimal effort.

Add extra fields for greater flexibility

Every business has unique data requirements. If your external systems require additional information that Microsoft Business Central doesn’t support out of the box, Spider enables you to add extra fields to customer, vendor, or item records—ensuring that you always have the data you need.

Multiple communication methods supported

Spider ensures compatibility with a wide range of communication protocols, including:

  • FTP
  • SFTP
  • Azure File Storage
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • HTTP GET/POST
  • Custom communication methods

 

With Spider, you gain a robust and reliable integration framework that keeps your systems in sync and your data flowing smoothly.

Take control of your integrations and keep everything connected with Spider!
