Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and IBM Informix

Give your engineers Fishbowl Manufacturing'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 Vendors, Locations, Parts, Products from Fishbowl Manufacturing into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Fishbowl Manufacturing 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 Fishbowl Manufacturing with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
  • Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.
  • Keep customers and vendors aligned between Fishbowl and a CRM.
