Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Hibob

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

Hibob 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. Fishbowl Manufacturing 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 Locations, Parts, Products, Inventory in Fishbowl Manufacturing with Work, Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle in Hibob 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 Fishbowl Manufacturing 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 Push purchase orders from procurement tools into Fishbowl and sync receipts back on arrival.
  • 02 Sync e-commerce orders into Fishbowl as sales orders and return fulfillment status and tracking numbers.
  • 03 Push Salaries and Variable Pay from Bob into a payroll provider or warehouse each pay cycle, using the Payroll-permitted service user.
  • 04 Mirror Work data (department, site, manager, title) into an org-chart or reporting warehouse for headcount and structure analysis.

Fishbowl Manufacturing Hibob Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Fishbowl Manufacturing for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-modified fields.

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

Hibob Fishbowl Manufacturing Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Fishbowl Manufacturing: Practical throughput is bounded by the Fishbowl server instance rather than a published quota.
  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
