Why teams connect Akeneo and Fishbowl Manufacturing

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and Fishbowl Manufacturing share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; Fishbowl Manufacturing owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Channels and locales, Media files, Products, Product models in Akeneo with Vendors, Locations, Parts, Products in Fishbowl Manufacturing field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Fishbowl Manufacturing, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 03 Keep customers and vendors aligned between Fishbowl and a CRM.
  • 04 Sync manufacture order status into planning dashboards or a data warehouse.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where Fishbowl Manufacturing is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from Fishbowl Manufacturing publish to Akeneo, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Akeneo creates the matching record in Fishbowl Manufacturing with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Fishbowl Manufacturing

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Akeneo Fishbowl Manufacturing Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Fishbowl Manufacturing through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Fishbowl Manufacturing Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Fishbowl Manufacturing for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-modified fields.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • Fishbowl Manufacturing: Practical throughput is bounded by the Fishbowl server instance rather than a published quota.

OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
