Why teams connect Servicemax and TimescaleDB

Mirror Servicemax's data into TimescaleDB so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.

Engineers integrate with tools like Servicemax through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in TimescaleDB.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Cases, Products, Work Orders from Servicemax into Hypertables, Chunks, Continuous Aggregates, Regular PostgreSQL Tables in TimescaleDB and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Servicemax, so the tool and the database never disagree.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Accounts and Contacts between ServiceMax and the CRM system of record so customer and site data stays consistent.
  • 02 Sync Work Orders (SVMXC__Service_Order__c) and Work Details bi-directionally with Postgres so ops and analytics teams read and write field-service data in plain SQL.
  • 03 Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • 04 Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.

Common sync patterns

React to changes as they happen

Updates in Servicemax arrive as row changes in TimescaleDB, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.

One integration pattern for the whole stack

Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.

Read Servicemax with a query

Records from Servicemax are ordinary rows in TimescaleDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

What you can sync between Servicemax and TimescaleDB

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.

Servicemax objects TimescaleDB objects How this pairing syncs
Work Orders SVMXC__Service_Order__c; the core field-service job record for install, repair, and maintenance; synced two-way with databases and pushed to ERPs at close. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers. Work Orders is specific to Servicemax and Views to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Details SVMXC__Service_Order_Line__c; line items on a Work Order for labor, parts used, and expenses; read out for billing or written back with usage. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment. Work Details is specific to Servicemax and Schemas to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Installed Products SVMXC__Installed_Product__c; the installed-base asset record driving entitlement and service history; synced with asset and IoT databases. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs. Installed Products is specific to Servicemax and Hypertables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service Contracts SVMXC__Service_Contract__c; coverage and entitlement agreements; synced to warehouses for renewal, SLA, and warranty reporting. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly. Service Contracts is specific to Servicemax and Chunks to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock History SVMXC__Stock_History__c; append-only log of inventory transactions (RMA, shipment, parts receipt); read out for parts and inventory analytics. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems. Stock History is specific to Servicemax and Continuous Aggregates to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Standard Salesforce Account; customer and site company records; synced two-way with CRM and database customer tables. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data. Accounts is specific to Servicemax and Regular PostgreSQL Tables to TimescaleDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Servicemax and TimescaleDB

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.

Servicemax TimescaleDB Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Servicemax are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Salesforce mechanisms — Apex triggers or polling on SystemModstamp/LastModifiedDate, with Change Data Capture / Platform Events available per object.

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

TimescaleDB Servicemax Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TimescaleDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Servicemax: Governed by the Salesforce org-wide daily API request allocation, shared across all integrations and scaled by edition and license count.
  • TimescaleDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.

Salesforce REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs (ServiceMax is a managed package on the Salesforce platform)
Authentication
Salesforce OAuth login via a user with API access; the connecting profile needs object and field permissions on ServiceMax's SVMXC__ objects

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
