Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and Linnworks

Ground Azure OpenAI on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in Linnworks, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Azure OpenAI produces back onto those records in real time.

Azure OpenAI is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Linnworks, so Linnworks always reflects the current state of Azure OpenAI — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. Linnworks is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Azure OpenAI produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in Linnworks where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Models, Fine-tuning jobs, Files, Batch jobs in Azure OpenAI with Channel Listings, Returns & Refunds, Shipping Services, Open Orders in Linnworks and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Channel Listings, Returns & Refunds, Shipping Services, Open Orders from Linnworks replicate into Azure OpenAI continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Azure OpenAI generates sync back onto the matching record in Linnworks. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Azure OpenAI reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull per-deployment TPM/RPM usage into a warehouse for FinOps chargeback and quota-exhaustion alerting.
  • 02 Mirror Assistants and Vector stores configuration into a database as an auditable inventory of retrieval assets and their linked files.
  • 03 Push customer and order data to a CRM or marketing platform for post-purchase campaigns
  • 04 Sync orders from Linnworks into an ERP or accounting system as they are processed, without CSV exports

Common sync patterns

One consistent identity across both systems

A customer, supplier, item, or transaction in Linnworks maps to the corresponding entry in Azure OpenAI, so every AI result attaches to the right entity on both sides.

Document extraction round-trip

Purchase orders, invoices, or other documents flow from Linnworks into Azure OpenAI for parsing or classification, and the structured result returns to the record it came from.

ERP records as live context

Customers, suppliers, items, and transactions from Linnworks replicate into Azure OpenAI as they change, so search, retrieval, and reasoning run against current records rather than a periodic extract.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI and Linnworks

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 OpenAI objects Linnworks objects How this pairing syncs
Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Locations Warehouse and fulfillment location records scope stock data during mapping. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Locations to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assistants Persistent assistants (preview) with instructions, tools, and linked files; read as configuration inventory, not authored via sync. Purchase Orders Replenishment POs sync with suppliers and accounting systems. Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and Purchase Orders to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vector stores File collections (preview) backing file-search retrieval; read as metadata such as name, file counts, and status. Suppliers Vendor records keep procurement data consistent across tools. Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Suppliers to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. Channel Listings Marketplace and webstore listing mappings tie channel products to internal SKUs. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Channel Listings to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Catalog of base and fine-tunable models available per region; read-only reference data used to resolve deployment and fine-tuning targets. Returns & Refunds Post-sale records flow to finance and support systems. Models is specific to Azure OpenAI and Returns & Refunds to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fine-tuning jobs Training jobs with status, base model, hyperparameters, and result files; status is polled from queued through succeeded or failed. Shipping Services Carrier and service definitions support label and tracking data in order syncs. Fine-tuning jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Shipping Services to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI and Linnworks

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 OpenAI Linnworks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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

Linnworks Azure OpenAI Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Linnworks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on order and stock endpoints.

DeliveryAzure OpenAI does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Azure OpenAI's output flows back as field updates on the originating Linnworks records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
  • Linnworks: Per-endpoint rate limits apply on the Linnworks API.
