Why teams connect NetSuite and ServiceNow

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. ServiceNow 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Change Requests, Problems, Service Catalog Requests, Configuration Items (CMDB) in ServiceNow with Account, Accounting Period, Bin Transfer, Currency Rate in NetSuite 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

  • Mirror incident and task data into Postgres or a warehouse for SLA and workload reporting
  • Create ServiceNow tickets automatically from CRM cases and sync status back as agents work them
  • Expose item and inventory data to internal applications through a continuously synced database table.
  • Mirror journal entries and transaction lines into a warehouse for financial reporting without CSV exports.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where ServiceNow faces customers and NetSuite carries account records

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

Where NetSuite is the HR or people system of record

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