Why teams connect Gainsight and Servicemax

Stop re-entering the same information in Gainsight and Servicemax: Stacksync keeps the records they share consistent in real time, in both directions.

Two tools in the daily stack often hold overlapping information: the same people, the same companies, or the same pieces of work, described twice. The tools do different jobs, so consolidating is not the answer; the overlap just needs to stop drifting.

Stacksync syncs Task and Playbook, Custom Objects, Company, Person (People) in Gainsight with Work Orders, Work Details, Installed Products, Service Contracts in Servicemax in real time. You choose which records overlap, map the fields that should match, and pick a direction or let changes flow both ways. From then on, an update made in either tool is reflected in the other within seconds, without exports or copy-paste.

Because the sync is field-level, each tool keeps its own extras; only the shared data is held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep Relationship records aligned with a billing system or ERP so multi-product customers map to the correct contracts and invoices.
  • 02 Read Timeline Activities and Success Plan objectives into a reporting database for churn, QBR, and CSM-productivity dashboards.
  • 03 Keep Installed Products (SVMXC__Installed_Product__c) aligned with an asset or IoT database for warranty, entitlement, and service-history reporting.
  • 04 Consolidate Service Contracts and entitlement data into a warehouse for renewal forecasting and SLA compliance dashboards.

Common sync patterns

Where Servicemax is where the team documents or plans: keep its data fed

Information that originates in Gainsight stays current in Servicemax instead of going stale after a one-time paste.

Handoffs between teams

When work started in one tool continues in the other, the shared fields travel with it automatically.

Where both tools track people or companies: one consistent record

Contact and company details corrected in either tool update the other, so nobody works from the old version.

What you can sync between Gainsight and Servicemax

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.

Gainsight objects Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
Company Customer/account master in Gainsight CS; two-way synced with CRM and warehouse customer tables to keep ARR, owner, and renewal fields aligned. Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Company is specific to Gainsight and Stock History to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Person (People) Contacts associated to companies through the Company Person junction; synced two-way with CRM contacts and warehouse person records. Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. Person (People) is specific to Gainsight and Accounts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Relationship Sub-units within a company for multi-product or multi-team accounts; synced so each maps to the right contract in billing or an ERP. Contacts Standard Salesforce Contact; people linked to Accounts and service sites; synced with CRM and support person records. Relationship is specific to Gainsight and Contacts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
CTA (Call to Action) Risk and expansion alerts that drive CSM plays; often synced to ticketing or project tools so follow-up work is tracked where teams operate. Cases Standard Salesforce Case; support records that often precede a Work Order; synced with help desk tools and reporting databases. CTA (Call to Action) is specific to Gainsight and Cases to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scorecard Fact Health scores and measures per Company or Relationship; usage metrics from a warehouse are written in so scores reflect live telemetry. Products Standard Salesforce Product2; catalog of serviceable products and spare parts referenced by Installed Products and Work Details. Scorecard Fact is specific to Gainsight and Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Timeline Activity Logged calls, emails, and notes; usually read out into a reporting database for QBR and churn analysis. Work Orders SVMXC__Service_Order__c; the core field-service job record for install, repair, and maintenance; synced two-way with databases and pushed to ERPs at close. Timeline Activity is specific to Gainsight and Work Orders to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gainsight and Servicemax

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.

Gainsight Servicemax Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gainsight for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the ModifiedDate (GS Modified Date) system field, which is filterable and sortable on every object.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Servicemax through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Servicemax Gainsight Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Gainsight through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gainsight: Synchronous APIs are capped near 100 calls/min and 50,000/day; the asynchronous Bulk API allows 10 calls/hour and 100/day. Both are fixed-window limits, and the applicable per-hour and per-day limits are returned in the x-ratelimit-limit response header.
  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.
