Why teams connect Ironclad and QAD ERP

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Ironclad and QAD ERP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Ironclad 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Workflows, Records, Entities, Obligations in Ironclad with Customers, Suppliers, Sales orders, Purchase orders in QAD ERP 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 Sync Entities (counterparties) two-way with a CRM or ERP so company and vendor master data matches across the CLM and the systems of record.
  • 02 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 03 Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • 04 Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad faces customers and QAD ERP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from QAD ERP appears alongside the customer in Ironclad, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where Ironclad collects payments: transactions post through

Payment events sync into QAD ERP as they occur, keeping the enterprise records current without manual entry.

Where QAD ERP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from QAD ERP stays current in Ironclad, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

What you can sync between Ironclad and QAD ERP

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.

Ironclad objects QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Workflows The core unit of Ironclad: a live contract process (NDA, MSA, order form) moving through creation, review, approval, and signature. Launched via POST, updated via PATCH, and read for status, so contract processes move two-way between Ironclad and a database, CRM, or ERP. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Purchase orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The Repository of executed and stored contracts with metadata (value, counterparty, key dates, type) and attachments; full create, read, update, and delete so signed-contract data and PDFs sync to a warehouse, ERP, or CRM. Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics Records is specific to Ironclad and Work orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Entities Structured records for counterparties and other parties linked to workflows and records; read and written to keep company and vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Entities is specific to Ironclad and Inventory balances to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting Obligations is specific to Ironclad and General ledger transactions to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Webhooks Event subscriptions that push workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment changes to Stacksync in near real time; created, listed, and deleted through the API across 40+ event types. Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Webhooks is specific to Ironclad and Items to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow Approvals Per-workflow approval requests and their state; read to report approval status and cycle time, and status changes arrive live through the workflow_approval_status_changed event. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Workflow Approvals is specific to Ironclad and Customers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad and QAD ERP

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.

Ironclad QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionIronclad notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing.

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

QAD ERP Ironclad Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ironclad: Limits are enforced per account per minute by endpoint: GET Workflows 400 and POST/PATCH Workflows 40; GET Records 600 and POST/PATCH Records 200; GET Entities 600 and POST/PATCH Entities 200; Webhooks 600; all other endpoints 800. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429, and Ironclad recommends exponential backoff with jitter.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.

How the Ironclad and QAD ERP connectors work

Ironclad

Integration surface
REST/JSON Public API (CLM API) at https://na1.ironcladapp.com/public/api/v1 (NA1 and EU1 regions plus a demo/sandbox), with a native Webhooks subscription API; described by an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 - Authorization Code grant (PKCE for public clients) and Client Credentials grant for server-to-server; access tokens are Bearer, expire after 6 hours, and every endpoint is gated by a resource scope. The legacy static API bearer token was deprecated on 2024-11-22.
Change detection
Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing endpoint up to 10 times over about 13.6 hours with exponential backoff. Otherwise poll the list endpoints by last-updated. There is no database change-data-capture log.
