Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and Servicemax

Mirror Servicemax's data into Google Cloud Spanner so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Servicemax through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Google Cloud Spanner.

Stacksync mirrors Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Products from Servicemax into Databases, Tables, Rows, Interleaved tables in Google Cloud Spanner and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Servicemax, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Accounts and Contacts between ServiceMax and the CRM system of record so customer and site data stays consistent.
  • 02 Sync Work Orders (SVMXC__Service_Order__c) and Work Details bi-directionally with Postgres so ops and analytics teams read and write field-service data in plain SQL.
  • 03 Push billing or entitlement changes from finance tools into Spanner tables the application reads at runtime.
  • 04 Use change streams to feed near-real-time copies of operational tables into an analytics warehouse.

Common sync patterns

Read Servicemax with a query

Records from Servicemax are ordinary rows in Google Cloud Spanner; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Servicemax from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in Google Cloud Spanner and Stacksync propagates the change into Servicemax, replacing custom integration code.

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Servicemax arrive as row changes in Google Cloud Spanner, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

What you can sync between Google Cloud Spanner 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.

Google Cloud Spanner objects Servicemax objects How this pairing syncs
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. 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. Change streams is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Work Orders to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. Work Details SVMXC__Service_Order_Line__c; line items on a Work Order for labor, parts used, and expenses; read out for billing or written back with usage. Views is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Work Details to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Installed Products SVMXC__Installed_Product__c; the installed-base asset record driving entitlement and service history; synced with asset and IoT databases. Databases is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Installed Products to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables mapped one-to-one to sync targets. Service Contracts SVMXC__Service_Contract__c; coverage and entitlement agreements; synced to warehouses for renewal, SLA, and warranty reporting. Tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Service Contracts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Rows is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Stock History to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. Interleaved tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Accounts to Servicemax — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud Spanner 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.

Google Cloud Spanner Servicemax Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

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

Servicemax Google Cloud Spanner 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 applied to Google Cloud Spanner as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.
