VXL Live
VXL Live is a Microsoft Excel add-in that connects directly to Infor M3 through Vince Platform. It lets business users retrieve, update, and manage M3 data without leaving Excel — no database access, no scripts, no IT involvement for routine operations.
What it does
VXL Live exposes your Vince Platform workflows inside Excel. Users search for a workflow, provide any required inputs, run it, and the results appear in the spreadsheet. Write-back workflows push data back to M3.
Key capabilities:
- Bulk data operations — import, update, and export thousands of M3 records from a single workbook
- Custom workflows — any workflow built in Vince Platform is accessible in VXL Live
- Design files — add pre-built Excel templates that match workflow input requirements to your workbook in one click
- Groups — keep related workflows together so you can load, enrich, add, update and delete data without switching between workflows (how groups work)
- Multi-environment support — switch between dev, test, and production environments from within Excel
- Secure — operates without direct SQL or database access; all requests pass through Vince Platform's security layer
