Why teams connect Insightly and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Close the gap between front office and back office: Insightly and Microsoft Dynamics NAV share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Insightly holds the customer relationship; Microsoft Dynamics NAV runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Products, Custom Fields, Contacts, Organizations in Insightly with Item Ledger Entries, Dimensions, Companies, Customers in Microsoft Dynamics NAV field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Deduplicate and align customer records between Insightly and an ERP or invoicing system
  • 02 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 03 Run parallel sync during a NAV-to-Business Central migration so both systems stay usable.
  • 04 Sync customers, items, and orders between NAV and a CRM in both directions.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.
