Data Preparation: Each sales application prepares its data for upload. This could be daily sales figures, customer interactions, inventory levels, etc.
Data Upload Request: The sales application sends a request to the central IntegrationManager to upload data. Instead of needing a local IntegrationManager instance, the request is handled by the central system.
SFTP Location Retrieval: The central IntegrationManager provides an SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) location that is not tied to any specific instance. This SFTP location acts as a drop-off point for the data.
Data Transfer: The sales application transfers the prepared data file to the provided SFTP location. This transfer is secure and can handle large files (as noted, up to 2GB in size).
Data Persistence: Once the upload is complete, the central IntegrationManager ensures that the data is persisted in the central repository.
Analysis and Reporting: With all sales data consolidated in one place, the company can now run comprehensive analytics and generate reports that provide insights across all regions.
