Why teams connect Epicor ERP and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Epicor ERP'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 Jobs, Quotes, AR invoices, Shipments from Epicor ERP into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Epicor ERP 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 Epicor ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Sync Epicor customers and AR invoices into a CRM so sales sees order history and credit status without ERP logins.
  • Push won opportunities from the CRM into Epicor as sales orders and sync order status back.

React to ERP changes

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