Why teams connect Cin7 and Front

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and Cin7.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Channels, Conversations, Messages, Comments in Front with Inventory levels, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Contacts in Cin7 bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • 02 Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • 03 Sync sales orders from Cin7 into an accounting platform or warehouse for revenue and margin reporting.
  • 04 Keep customer records aligned between Cin7 and the CRM to remove duplicate account entry.

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Front faces customers and Cin7 carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Cin7 appears alongside the customer in Front, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where Cin7 is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Cin7 stays current in Front, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
