Why teams connect Insightly and SugarCRM

Run Insightly and SugarCRM side by side with the same accounts and contacts in both, whether they serve different teams or one is replacing the other.

Two CRMs in one company is more common than anyone plans for: an acquisition brings its own system, regions or business units standardize differently, or a migration is under way and both are live. In every case, some of the same companies and people exist in both systems, and every day of manual double entry pushes the copies further apart.

Stacksync syncs Organizations, Leads, Opportunities, Projects in Insightly with Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities in SugarCRM in real time and in both directions, with field-level mapping and matching on identifiers you choose. Update a record in either CRM and the other reflects it within seconds.

Common use cases

  • Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • Two-way sync between SugarCRM and an ERP so account, quote, and order data match in both systems
  • Replicate Sugar modules into Postgres so RevOps can query CRM data with SQL and drive internal tools

Where both track pipeline: deal visibility across systems

Deal stage and value on shared accounts stay visible from either CRM.

Post-acquisition consolidation

Keep both CRMs accurate while the merged team decides on a target system, instead of freezing one and losing months of updates.

Migration with a parallel run

When one CRM is replacing the other, run both fully live until cutover, with no snapshot gap and no data freeze.
