Why teams connect Brightpearl and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Brightpearl's data in IBM Informix: 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 Purchase orders, Contacts, Inventory and warehouses, Goods-out notes from Brightpearl into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Brightpearl is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into Brightpearl with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Land order and margin data in a warehouse for retail performance reporting.
  • Sync Brightpearl sales orders and fulfillment status with a CRM so sales and support see order state without switching tools.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Brightpearl arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

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

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

Controlled write-back
