Why teams connect Cin7 and D2l Brightspace

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Cin7 and D2l Brightspace share in real time, so the people D2l Brightspace manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

D2l Brightspace is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Cin7 runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Stock adjustments and transfers, Credit notes / returns, Products, Inventory levels in Cin7 with Groups and Sections, Users, Enrollments, Org Units in D2l Brightspace field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Cin7 keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep customer records aligned between Cin7 and the CRM to remove duplicate account entry.
  • 02 Write purchase orders created in a planning tool back into Cin7 for receiving.
  • 03 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.
  • 04 Sync Assignment (Dropbox) submissions and feedback into a reporting database or downstream review tool.

New hires ready to transact in Cin7
