Why teams connect Folk CRM and SAP Business ByDesign

Close the gap between front office and back office: Folk CRM and SAP Business ByDesign share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Folk CRM holds the customer relationship; SAP Business ByDesign runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Notes, Reminders, People, Companies in Folk CRM with Customer Invoices, Materials / Products, Purchase Orders, Opportunities in SAP Business ByDesign field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror folk groups into a reporting database to track pipeline and outreach coverage.
  • 02 Keep folk and a billing or customer success tool aligned on company records as deals close.
  • 03 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • 04 Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where SAP Business ByDesign manages people and org data: keep Folk CRM aligned
