In this guide, we'll walk you through three simple steps to get started with RocketBI so you can unlock the power of your data effortlessly.
Your RocketBI Journey Starts Here
Thank you for choosing RocketBI through the AppSumo lifetime deal! We appreciate your trust in us to simplify your data analytics and reporting needs. We understand that you're a business user looking for an easy way to make sense of your data without needing technical expertise, and that's exactly what RocketBI is here for.
1. Connect Your RocketBI to Your Data Warehouse
The very first step on your RocketBI journey is to connect it to your data warehouse.
Your data warehouse is like the vault where all your data analysis and processing information are stored. RocketBI simplifies this process, allowing you to manage your data and govern user access easily.
Most of the Data Warehouse connecting process is simple, with frequently asked information that you can get from your IT guys:
Host: the IP address to your Data Warehouse.
HTTP/ TCP Port: Make sure to tell your IT guys to open the download access
Username & Password: You should create a new credential with the right to read/get/download rights.
To ensure optimal performance, we recommend that you avoid using RocketBI in your transactional database, as it may slow down the transaction process.
Your database supports applications and internal systems, like ERP, CRM, and e-commerce stores, to record point-of-sale data. A data warehouse serves different purposes, for data archive & analytics, and should be on its stand-alone server.

2. Centralize your scattering data
Now that your RocketBI is connected to your data warehouse, it's time to start collecting data from your various business sources. The best part? No coding or complexity is involved!
Whether it's data from databases, spreadsheet files, Google Sheets, or other online services, RocketBI simplifies the process.
Just select your source, login, and start scheduling data synchronization to your data warehouse. It's that easy! After connecting to your business data source, use our data-collecting tool to select a table & set up your data sync schedule.
