Getting Started

The Fusion services provide a simplified API to NaviLine and NaviLine Select. For these services to function you must have licensed the underlying product (e.g., Utilities, CRM, Payroll, etc.)

Central Square will provide you with a License Key. The license key must be sent in the HTTP header for license verification.

If you need assistance in getting started, please enter a case via the Customer Connect Portal, or call us at 1-833-278-7877.
