Why teams connect Blue Yonder WMS and Navan

Keep Navan and Blue Yonder WMS agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Card Transactions, Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions, Bookings in Navan with Inbound shipments (ASNs), Purchase orders, Outbound orders, Shipments and shipment confirmations in Blue Yonder WMS in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 03 Mirror WMS inventory balances into a warehouse or ERP so planning and finance see the same on-hand numbers.
  • 04 Keep the item master aligned between the ERP and the WMS so new SKUs are receivable on day one.

Common sync patterns

Where Navan handles billing: invoices land in Blue Yonder WMS

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.
