Google Drive

Google Drive is Google's file storage and sharing service.

Connecting Google Drive to Monstock will allow you to store all your files online, so you can access them from anywhere. This will allow you to keep an online copy of your exported files, invoices, quotes, purchase orders, etc.

The connector between Monstock and Google Drive enables businesses to link their operational management processes to a simple, collaborative, and universal file storage and sharing environment. Thanks to this integration, key data from Monstock, such as products, equipment, customers, suppliers, and stock activities, can be automatically synchronised with files hosted on Google Drive, ensuring seamless and secure centralisation of information within the company's working ecosystem.

This interconnection facilitates the creation, updating, and deletion of data in both directions. When a product, customer or piece of equipment is created in Monstock, the corresponding information is automatically added to a connected file in Google Drive. Conversely, any changes or deletions made to the Drive file are immediately reflected in Monstock. This ensures perfect consistency between operational data and shared documents without the need for manual intervention.

By automating these exchanges, companies eliminate duplication and errors associated with re-entry, while saving valuable time. Teams can access files that are always up to date to track products, stock or suppliers, facilitating collaboration between departments, whether purchasing, operations or finance. Stock activities can also be tracked from Drive, providing instant visibility into movements and updates made in Monstock.

Strategically, this connector contributes to better data utilisation and more effective governance. Operational information is archived, accessible and usable from a collaborative space known to all, enhancing transparency and productivity. By leveraging Google Drive, users also benefit from native security and granular sharing features, while ensuring the confidentiality of critical data.

In summary, the Monstock–Google Drive connector offers a connected, seamless and collaborative experience, where every data update is immediately shared and tracked. It is a key lever for simplifying information management and improving overall supply chain performance.

The integration diagram between Monstock and Google Drive illustrates a full bidirectional flow, ensuring continuous and automatic synchronisation of operational data. This interconnection facilitates the sharing and updating of information related to products, customers, suppliers, equipment and stock activities, while maintaining consistency between the two systems.

Flow from Monstock to Google Drive

From Monstock, several categories of data are automatically sent to Google Drive:

• Creation of products, customers, and equipment: each new entry in Monstock triggers the corresponding creation in a connected Drive file, allowing teams to have immediate visibility of recent additions.
• Stock activities: stock movements — entries, exits or adjustments — are exported, ensuring complete traceability of operations within Drive.
• Updated products and suppliers: any changes made in Monstock (product information, supplier contact details, prices, etc.) are reflected in the synchronised file.
• Deletion of products, customers, and equipment: items deleted in Monstock are automatically removed from the Drive file, ensuring that the database is always clean and up to date.

These feeds enable Google Drive to be used as a consultation, archiving and reporting tool, while relying on the reliability of data from Monstock.

Google Drive feed to Monstock

Conversely, Google Drive can feed Monstock with updates or new entries:

• Creation of products, customers, and equipment in a Drive file, which automatically triggers their creation in Monstock.
• Product and supplier updates: changes made to data in Drive (reference, contact, description, price, etc.) are sent to Monstock.
• Deleting items: deleting a line in the Drive file will result in the corresponding product, customer, or equipment being deleted from Monstock.
• Stock activities: movements recorded in Drive can be integrated directly into Monstock to enhance flow tracking.

Synchronisation and automation

Exchanges between Monstock and Google Drive are automated, continuous and configurable. Any creation, modification or deletion of data in either environment is immediately reflected in the other. The frequency and scope of synchronisations can be adapted to business needs.

This integration guarantees a single, shared and up-to-date view of data, while simplifying day-to-day management. By combining the management power of Monstock with the flexibility of Google Drive, businesses have an agile and collaborative solution to effectively manage their information at the heart of the supply chain.
