Why teams connect Akeneo and QAD ERP

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

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; QAD 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 Media files, Products, Product models, Categories in Akeneo with Customers, Suppliers, Sales orders, Purchase orders in QAD ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from QAD ERP, 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 Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.
  • 04 Sync items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

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

Where QAD ERP is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from QAD ERP 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 QAD ERP with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

What you can sync between Akeneo and QAD 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 QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Inventory balances to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and General ledger transactions to QAD 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. Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Assets is specific to Akeneo and Items to QAD 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 Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Customers to QAD 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. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Media files is specific to Akeneo and Suppliers to QAD 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. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Products is specific to Akeneo and Sales orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and QAD 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 QAD 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 written to QAD ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

QAD ERP Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.

How the Akeneo and QAD 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
Capabilities

Rate limits
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.

QAD ERP

Integration surface
REST APIs plus the QXtend XML integration framework
Authentication
instance credentials; specifics depend on the deployment and version
Change detection
polling on the API surface; document-based event exchange available through QXtend in supported configurations
