What is the Difference between the intune "external inventory connector" web app page and the beacon local configuration app for configuring intune?

While looking to setup an intune connection I found a couple different places to do it and wasn't sure what the difference is. Is one for IT visibility while the other is inventory? Just wanted to get some clarification. 

The documentation for the web app page gives instructions for setting up the intune connector

https://docs.flexera.com/flexera/EN/ITVisibility/Intune.htm

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that focuses on mobile device management and mobile application management. It helps organizations manage the devices employees use to access company data, ensuring that security policies are enforced and that data is protected. The Microsoft Intune Connector, provided by Flexera, collects inventory data from Microsoft Intune and seamlessly imports it into IT Visibility once a day. The data collected gives you comprehensive visibility into managed devices, user data, and managed and unmanaged applications installed on corporate-owned devices in your Microsoft Intune estate.

Web app page: https://app.flexera.com/orgs/35424/udi/connections

The documentation for the beacon does as well

https://docs.flexera.com/fnms/EN/InvAdapConn/index.html#adapters/Intune/tasks/IntuneAdp-Connection.html

Use the following procedure to create a connection to Microsoft Intune on the FlexNet Beacon. A connection is required to be configured for a single source for inventory collection. The inventory beacon is responsible for uploading the data to the central operations databases of IT Asset Management.
