Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Infor M3

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps Fishbowl Manufacturing and Infor M3 consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs Inventory, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Manufacture orders in Fishbowl Manufacturing with Customers, Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders in Infor M3 bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.
  • 02 Keep customers and vendors aligned between Fishbowl and a CRM.
  • 03 Push orders captured in a CRM into M3 as customer orders without manual re-entry
  • 04 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view

Common sync patterns

Migration in parallel

When one system is replacing the other, run both fully live during the transition and cut over without a data freeze.

Shared master data

Where both systems keep records of the same customers, suppliers, or organizations, a correction in either updates the other.

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.
