Why teams connect Akeneo and Infor CRM

Keep the customers and orders that Infor CRM and Akeneo share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Infor CRM holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Akeneo runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.

Stacksync links Leads, Opportunities, Tickets, Activities in Infor CRM to Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets in Akeneo with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.

The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.

Common use cases

  • 01 Run a two-way sync between Infor CRM accounts and contacts and a Postgres database so internal tools read CRM data with SQL.
  • 02 Keep Infor CRM aligned with an Infor ERP customer master so sales and finance share one account record.
  • 03 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.
  • 04 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.

Common sync patterns

Contact and address details stay consistent

An email, phone, or shipping and billing address corrected in either system updates the other, so the next order and the next outreach both use current information.

Where Infor CRM segments customers: status travels to the store record

Lifecycle stage, tier, or account owner set in Infor CRM syncs onto the customer record in Akeneo, so the buying side can act on how the relationship is classified.

Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned

Where Infor CRM tracks products or line items and Akeneo holds the catalog, shared items are matched on SKU so quotes, deals, and orders reference the same products.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Infor CRM

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects Infor CRM objects How this pairing syncs
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Custom entities Deployment-specific objects added through the customizable entity model. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Custom entities to Infor CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Accounts Company records matched against ERP customer masters in syncs. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Accounts to Infor CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Contacts Person records synced with marketing and support tools. Products is specific to Akeneo and Contacts to Infor CRM — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Infor CRM

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 Infor CRM 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 Infor CRM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor CRM Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Infor CRM for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on modified timestamps.

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.
  • Infor CRM: Subject to the deployment's configured API limits, which differ between on-premises and cloud installs.

How the Akeneo and Infor CRM connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
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
