Why teams connect Infor LN and Slack

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Slack 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Users, User groups, Files, Reactions in Slack with Production orders, Warehouse / inventory, Projects, Service orders in Infor LN 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 Post CRM record changes into deal or account channels so the team sees updates without opening the CRM
  • 02 Sync the Slack user directory with the HRIS or identity provider to keep memberships and profiles current
  • 03 Sync item masters, BOMs, and production orders between LN and MES or PLM systems on the shop floor.
  • 04 Flow EDI and ecommerce sales orders into LN and return order status and shipment confirmations.

Common sync patterns

Where Infor LN is the HR or people system of record

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

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

Where Slack faces customers and Infor LN carries account records

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