Why teams connect Plex ERP and SQL Server

Give your engineers Plex ERP's data in SQL Server: 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 Production jobs, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers from Plex ERP into SQL Server and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Plex ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in SQL Server sync back into Plex ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate branch or plant databases into a single operational SQL Server hub
  • 02 Bi-directional sync between SQL Server rows and CRM objects so .NET line-of-business apps and sales tools share one dataset
  • 03 Feed quality and scrap data to dashboards supervisors check without logging into Plex.
  • 04 Sync production and inventory data from Plex into a warehouse or Postgres for plant-level analytics.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Plex ERP interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Plex ERP arrive as row changes in SQL Server, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Plex ERP is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

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

What you can sync between Plex ERP and SQL Server

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.

Plex ERP objects SQL Server objects How this pairing syncs
Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Databases Instance-level databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Parts is specific to Plex ERP and Databases to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Schemas Namespaces (dbo and custom) used to organize synced tables. Inventory is specific to Plex ERP and Schemas to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Production jobs is specific to Plex ERP and Tables to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand records written in from e-commerce or EDI channels and read out for fulfillment status Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Sales orders is specific to Plex ERP and Views to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning systems Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types. Purchase orders is specific to Plex ERP and Columns to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Customers is specific to Plex ERP and Primary and Unique Keys to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Plex ERP and SQL Server

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.

Plex ERP SQL Server Interval-based propagation

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

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

SQL Server Plex ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.
