Why teams connect Akeneo and Macola ERP

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

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; Macola ERP 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 Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets, Channels and locales in Akeneo with Items, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoices in Macola ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Macola ERP, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.
  • 02 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.
  • 03 Sync customers, orders, and invoices between Macola and a CRM so sales and finance stay aligned.
  • 04 Mirror item availability and inventory into an ecommerce storefront or customer portal.

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Akeneo creates the matching record in Macola ERP 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 Macola ERP, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Macola ERP

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 Macola ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Bills of Material Manufacturing structures read for planning and costing integrations. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Bills of Material to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Work Orders Shop-floor production orders tracked for status and completion syncs. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Work Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Customers Customer master records synced with CRMs so sales works from ERP truth. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Customers to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Vendors Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP tools. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Vendors to Macola ERP — 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. Items Inventory item master records mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Products is specific to Akeneo and Items to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Sales Orders Order entry documents created from web or CRM orders and read back for status. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Sales Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Macola ERP

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 Macola ERP 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 applied to Macola ERP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Macola ERP Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Macola ERP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC or change tracking on the underlying SQL Server database, or timestamp-based polling.

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.

How the Akeneo and Macola ERP 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
