Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Servicemax

Mirror Servicemax's data into Azure Cosmos DB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Servicemax through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Azure Cosmos DB.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Cases, Products, Work Orders from Servicemax into Change feed entries, Stored procedures and triggers, Databases, Containers in Azure Cosmos DB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Servicemax, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate Service Contracts and entitlement data into a warehouse for renewal forecasting and SLA compliance dashboards.
  • 02 Mirror Accounts and Contacts between ServiceMax and the CRM system of record so customer and site data stays consistent.
  • 03 Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • 04 Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Servicemax arrive as row changes in Azure Cosmos DB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Servicemax with a query

Records from Servicemax are ordinary rows in Azure Cosmos DB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Servicemax

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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Contacts Standard Salesforce Contact; people linked to Accounts and service sites; synced with CRM and support person records. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Contacts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Cases Standard Salesforce Case; support records that often precede a Work Order; synced with help desk tools and reporting databases. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Cases to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Products Standard Salesforce Product2; catalog of serviceable products and spare parts referenced by Installed Products and Work Details. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Work Orders SVMXC__Service_Order__c; the core field-service job record for install, repair, and maintenance; synced two-way with databases and pushed to ERPs at close. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Work Orders to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Work Details SVMXC__Service_Order_Line__c; line items on a Work Order for labor, parts used, and expenses; read out for billing or written back with usage. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Work Details to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Installed Products SVMXC__Installed_Product__c; the installed-base asset record driving entitlement and service history; synced with asset and IoT databases. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Installed Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB and Servicemax

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.

Azure Cosmos DB Servicemax Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.

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

Servicemax Azure Cosmos DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Azure Cosmos DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
