Why teams connect Drift and SAP Business ByDesign

Close the gap between front office and back office: Drift and SAP Business ByDesign share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Drift holds the customer relationship; SAP Business ByDesign runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Users, Playbooks, Meetings, Contacts in Drift with Employees, Business Partners (Accounts), Contacts, Sales Orders in SAP Business ByDesign field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
  • Archive historical Drift conversation and contact data into a warehouse ahead of a platform migration.
  • Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.
  • Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where SAP Business ByDesign manages people and org data: keep Drift aligned

Owners, territories, and org structure informed by SAP Business ByDesign stay current in Drift.

Where SAP Business ByDesign handles order-to-cash: closed-won flows through

A deal won in Drift creates or updates the customer in SAP Business ByDesign with clean data, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.
