Why teams connect Pigment and PostgreSQL

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from PostgreSQL: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Applications, Metrics, Dimension lists, Tables from Pigment into Custom Types and Enums, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in PostgreSQL and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against PostgreSQL, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • Export approved budgets and forecasts back to a warehouse or Postgres for downstream reporting.
  • Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
  • Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in PostgreSQL as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Pigment live in PostgreSQL as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on PostgreSQL; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

What you can sync between Pigment and PostgreSQL

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.

Pigment objects PostgreSQL objects
Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields.
Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems.
Users and permissions Access controls governing which model areas a sync can touch Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync.
Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule.
Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types.
