Why teams connect Front and Macola ERP

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and Macola ERP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Conversations, Messages, Comments, Contacts in Front with Purchase Orders, Invoices, GL Accounts & Journal Entries, Bills of Material in Macola ERP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • 02 Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • 03 Sync customers, orders, and invoices between Macola and a CRM so sales and finance stay aligned.
  • 04 Mirror item availability and inventory into an ecommerce storefront or customer portal.

Common sync patterns

Where Front faces customers and Macola ERP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Macola ERP appears alongside the customer in Front, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where Macola ERP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Macola ERP stays current in Front, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.
