Why teams connect QAD ERP and Shipwire

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shipwire and QAD ERP share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; QAD ERP owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Rates, Orders, Products, Stock in Shipwire with Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions in QAD ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from QAD ERP, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.
  • 02 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.
  • 03 Sync items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.
  • 04 Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Shipwire creates the matching record in QAD ERP with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in QAD ERP, tracking and status flow back to Shipwire so buyers see accurate updates.

What you can sync between QAD ERP and Shipwire

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.

QAD ERP objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Orders B2C fulfillment orders (create, update, cancel, get) with item, hold, routing, and tracking subresources; typically written from a storefront or ERP and synced back with status and trackings. Customers is specific to QAD ERP and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Products Catalog SKUs including kits, virtual kits, and marketplace products; created and edited via API, commonly mastered in a PIM or ERP and pushed into Shipwire with dimensions and pricing. Suppliers is specific to QAD ERP and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Sales orders is specific to QAD ERP and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Work orders is specific to QAD ERP and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Inventory balances is specific to QAD ERP and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP and Shipwire

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.

QAD ERP Shipwire Interval-based propagation

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

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

Shipwire QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
