Service Exchange is a SaaS service that automatically generates extendable back office for your application.
Service Exchange is a standalone app which generates REST API thought which your SQL database is connected to Service Exchange.
This project has been designed to fit requirements of small startups and mature companies.

• Data Privacy. Tele-CMS does not access your data: its transferred directly from browser to your application.
• Customizable Interface. With WYSIWYG interface customization your can change almost every part of interface.
• Extendable. Flex Features allows you to create your custom Actions, Views, Fields and other.
• Works with any technology. The interface is generated automatically based on an analysis of the data and data structure of your database.
• Quick installation. All you need is to install Service Exchange and connect it to your database.

Features

• CRUD (create, read, update, delete)

  All common operations to view, create, update or delete data.

  

• Search and Filter

  Filter data easily by any field with most common lookups and search them by text occurrence. For some specific cases you can create SQL Segment to filter with.

  

• Segments

  Segments allow you to save applied set of filters as a Segment or create it from SQL query for quick use in future.

  

• WYSIWYG Interface Customization

  You can customize almost every part of interface visually – navigation menu, collection list views, record create/update forms.

  

• List View layout

  A number of out-of-the-box list layouts except default Table View like Kanban Board and Map with markers.

  

• Dashboards

  Create different types of charts, tables and other widgets to visualize your KPIs or monitor data without programming – inside your visual interface. Complex data queries can be created with SQL.

  

• Teams and Permissions

  Invite users to collaborate on a project and assign access rights based on their team.

  

• Export

  You can export all collection data or part of it into the most common formats like CSV or Excel.

  

• Responsive Layout

  The interface is optimized for any device from phones to tablets to desktops.

Extendability

While we are trying to include most of important features out of the box sometimes its not enough. For any specific cases we offer Flex features to implement functionality not available with standard features:

• Custom Views

  For very specific pages you can create your own custom FlexView based on React, Angular or any other framework and integrate it inService Exchange interface. Writing your own custom JS/CSS/HTML has no limits in implementing any page you need.

• Custom Actions

  If need to run some operations on records or any other business logic inside your Backend you can create FlexActions and run them directly fromService Exchange interface. Passing some additional parameters to your Backend is supported.

• Custom Fields

  Sometimes you may want custom fields that are a combination of multiple fields, use fields from related collections, or are the result of some calculation. In this case you can use FlexField and write a custom JavaScript function to format fields data in any way you want.

How It Works

Service Exchange is a SaaS frontend application hosted on Service Exchange side that works in your browser. It connects to your project SQL database through open source Service Exchange backend application which you install on your side. So Integrating Service Exchange with your project requires installing only one component - Service Exchange. Here how it should look like after installation:

Your App

Any of your applications which works with your Database. Service Exchange does not interact with it directly.

Database

Your database Service Exchange has no direct access to.

Service Exchange

An open source application installed on your server's side and connected to your database. It automatically generates REST API based on your database structure. Tele-CMS Interface works with Database through Service Exchange.

Tele-CMS Interface

Web application accessible from any browser. Maintaining and updating of this web application is on Service Exchange team side. Your application data is transmitted directly from Service Exchange to Tele-CMS Interface in your browser and remain invisible for the Service Exchange service.
