Why teams connect Quip and SAP Business ByDesign

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Quip and SAP Business ByDesign.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Quip 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Folders, Messages, Users, Blobs in Quip with Contacts, Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products in SAP Business ByDesign 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

  • 01 Read Messages from project threads into a data store to analyze collaboration activity and comment volume per document.
  • 02 Sync Folders and their membership with an identity or HR source so team spaces track org structure.
  • 03 Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.
  • 04 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

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

Where Quip faces customers and SAP Business ByDesign carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP Business ByDesign appears alongside the customer in Quip, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where SAP Business ByDesign is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP Business ByDesign stays current in Quip, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
