Why teams connect Cvent and QAD ERP

Feed the real customer, order, and revenue records from QAD ERP into Cvent so campaigns run on who actually bought what, and let contact and consent changes flow back in real time.

Marketing runs on lists of people, but the list rarely knows which of those people are paying customers, what they ordered, or what they are worth. QAD ERP holds exactly that: Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions that record who the customer is, what they bought, and what they owe. When the two are joined only by a periodic export, campaigns go out against stale audiences, existing customers get prospecting emails, high-value accounts look the same as cold leads, and a canceled order still counts toward a segment.

Stacksync syncs Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions in QAD ERP with Budgets, Events, Contacts, Attendees and Registrations in Cvent in real time, and where both sides accept writes, in both directions. Customer, order, and invoice data maps field by field onto the contacts, audiences, or accounts Cvent works with, so segmentation and personalization run on current purchase history instead of a month-old snapshot. Contact details and consent changes that originate in Cvent flow back onto the record in QAD ERP.

The strongest bridge between the two is identity and purchase history, who the customer is and what they have bought, so that is where most of the value sits. Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps the attributes the other has no use for; only the shared records are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.
  • 02 Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • 03 Sync Sessions and Speakers into a content database or agenda app so schedule and speaker changes propagate without manual re-entry.
  • 04 Read Budgets and event financials into an ERP or finance database to reconcile planned versus actual event spend.

Common sync patterns

Suppress or target existing customers

Because QAD ERP knows who is already a paying customer, Cvent can exclude them from acquisition campaigns or single them out for renewal and cross-sell.

One customer identity across both systems

A person or company's contact details corrected in either system update the other, so marketing and the back office stop maintaining separate versions of the same record.

Lifecycle triggers from back-office events

A first order, a renewal, or a lapsed account recorded in QAD ERP appears in Cvent within seconds, ready to start or stop a lifecycle campaign.

What you can sync between Cvent and QAD ERP

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.

Cvent objects QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Exhibitors Exhibitor and sponsor records; synced to a CRM or database to track booth, sponsorship, and lead-capture data per event. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Exhibitors is specific to Cvent and Suppliers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Surveys is specific to Cvent and Sales orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Budgets Event budget line items; read into a finance database or ERP to reconcile planned versus actual event spend. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Budgets is specific to Cvent and Purchase orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Top-level event containers created and updated through the Events endpoints; read out for reporting and written to provision events from an external system.

How changes propagate between Cvent and QAD ERP

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.

Cvent QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionCvent notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Per-event webhooks push attendee, registration, session, and speaker changes.

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

QAD ERP Cvent Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cvent: Responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining/Reset headers; a 429 signals either the per-second limit (retry with exponential backoff from ~2s) or the daily quota (up to 500,000 calls/day on the Premium tier, 1,000/day on Free) exhausted until midnight UTC.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.
