Why teams connect Infor M3 and Render Postgres

Give your engineers Infor M3's data in Render Postgres: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices from Infor M3 into Render Postgres and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Infor M3 is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Render Postgres sync back into Infor M3 with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync CRM or ERP objects into Render Postgres tables so product and ops teams query business data with plain SQL.
  • 02 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
  • 03 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 04 Feed manufacturing order status to a customer portal for order tracking in fashion, food, or equipment supply chains

Common sync patterns

React to ERP changes

Updates in Infor M3 arrive as row changes in Render Postgres, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Infor M3 is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in Render Postgres for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Render Postgres back into Infor M3, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between Infor M3 and Render Postgres

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.

Infor M3 objects Render Postgres objects How this pairing syncs
Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. Customers is specific to Infor M3 and Tables to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. Suppliers is specific to Infor M3 and Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Customer Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Materialized Views to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Purchase Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Schemas to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Manufacturing Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Columns and Types to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Inventory Balances is specific to Infor M3 and Indexes and Constraints to Render Postgres — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor M3 and Render Postgres

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.

Infor M3 Render Postgres Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Render Postgres Infor M3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
