Why teams connect Akeneo and Infor M3

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and Infor M3 share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; Infor M3 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 Categories, Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records in Akeneo with Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders in Infor M3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Infor M3, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 02 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 04 Feed manufacturing order status to a customer portal for order tracking in fashion, food, or equipment supply chains

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Akeneo creates the matching record in Infor M3 with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Infor M3, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Infor M3

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 M3 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 M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor M3 Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

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 M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
