Why teams connect Front and SAP

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

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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Inboxes, Tags, Teammates, Channels in Front with Production Orders, Inventory / Stock, Cost Centers, Business Partners in SAP 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

  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.
  • Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.

Master data corrections travel

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

Where Front faces customers and SAP carries account records

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

Where SAP is the HR or people system of record

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

What you can sync between Front and SAP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Front objects SAP objects
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools.
Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations.
Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs.
