Why teams connect Linnworks and Namely

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Linnworks and Namely share in real time, so the people Namely manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Namely is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Linnworks runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Stock Levels, Locations, Purchase Orders, Suppliers in Linnworks with Events, Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers in Namely field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Linnworks keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep stock levels consistent between Linnworks and external systems so multichannel listings stay aligned with sellable stock
  • 02 Mirror processed orders, refunds, and returns into a warehouse for margin reporting across channels
  • 03 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Namely keep expense and purchase approval chains in Linnworks pointed at the right people.

Where Namely runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Namely posts into Linnworks as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Namely is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Namely, the matching employee record in Linnworks is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between Linnworks and Namely

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.

Linnworks objects Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Processed Orders Completed orders feed accounting and warehouse-based margin reporting. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Processed Orders is specific to Linnworks and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock Items SKU records keep product data aligned with ERPs and PIMs. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Stock Items is specific to Linnworks and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock Levels Per-location quantities sync outward so channels and planning tools reflect current availability. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Stock Levels is specific to Linnworks and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouse and fulfillment location records scope stock data during mapping. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Locations is specific to Linnworks and Reports to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders Replenishment POs sync with suppliers and accounting systems. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Purchase Orders is specific to Linnworks and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records keep procurement data consistent across tools. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Suppliers is specific to Linnworks and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Linnworks and Namely

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.

Linnworks Namely Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Linnworks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on order and stock endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Linnworks: Per-endpoint rate limits apply on the Linnworks API.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
