Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Navan

Keep Navan and Fishbowl Manufacturing agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions in Navan with Vendors, Locations, Parts, Products in Fishbowl Manufacturing in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 02 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 03 Keep customers and vendors aligned between Fishbowl and a CRM.
  • 04 Sync manufacture order status into planning dashboards or a data warehouse.

Common sync patterns

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Navan serves a business unit and Fishbowl Manufacturing is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

How changes propagate between Fishbowl Manufacturing and Navan

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.

Fishbowl Manufacturing Navan 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 Navan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Navan Fishbowl Manufacturing Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense 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.
  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
