Can you integrate Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Postgres Heroku?

Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Microsoft Dynamics NAV's G/L Entries and Item Ledger Entries), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.

How do teams use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku integration?

Common patterns for Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku: Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems; Controlled write-back; Read ERP records with a query. Worker and org records stay current in Postgres Heroku for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What should I know about the two APIs?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV: SOAP and OData web services published from NAV pages and codeunits; direct SQL Server access on-premises. Authentication: Windows authentication or NavUserPassword credentials. Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.

What makes Postgres Heroku's data model different?

Postgres Heroku: All connections require SSL, and server-level settings such as replication configuration are controlled by Heroku rather than the user. Microsoft Dynamics NAV: NAV is succeeded by Dynamics 365 Business Central, so many NAV integrations exist to support a staged migration. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku without custom code.

Is the Microsoft Dynamics NAV–Postgres Heroku integration secure?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku records are not retained after a sync operation.

Why teams connect Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku

Give your engineers Microsoft Dynamics NAV's data in Postgres Heroku: 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, G/L Entries, Item Ledger Entries, Dimensions from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into Postgres Heroku and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Postgres Heroku sync back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV with its validations respected.

Common use cases

01 Expose CRM objects as Postgres tables the Heroku application can query and join directly
02 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
03 Replicate G/L and ledger entries into a warehouse for consolidated finance reporting.
04 Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.

Common sync patterns

Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

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

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Postgres Heroku back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Microsoft Dynamics NAV live in Postgres Heroku as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku

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.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects		Postgres Heroku objects	How this pairing syncs
G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting.	⇄	Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.	G/L Entries is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Follower Databases to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics.	⇄	Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.	Item Ledger Entries is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Tables to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits.	⇄	Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.	Dimensions is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Per-company data partitions that scope every sync.	⇄	Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh.	Companies is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Materialized Views to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms.	⇄	Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.	Customers is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Schemas to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Vendor cards aligned with procurement and AP tools.	⇄	Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems.	Vendors is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Primary and Unique Keys to Postgres Heroku — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Postgres Heroku

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.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Postgres Heroku Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on modified/timestamp fields, or SQL Server change tracking/CDC on on-premises databases.

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

Postgres Heroku Microsoft Dynamics NAV Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.

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

Rate-limit considerations

Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
