Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Plex ERP

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps Fishbowl Manufacturing and Plex ERP consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs Inventory, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Manufacture orders in Fishbowl Manufacturing with Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers, Shipments in Plex ERP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.
  • Keep customers and vendors aligned between Fishbowl and a CRM.
  • Sync production and inventory data from Plex into a warehouse or Postgres for plant-level analytics.
  • Keep customers, parts, and pricing aligned between Plex and the CRM the sales team uses.

Migration in parallel

When one system is replacing the other, run both fully live during the transition and cut over without a data freeze.

Shared master data

Where both systems keep records of the same customers, suppliers, or organizations, a correction in either updates the other.

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.

What you can sync between Fishbowl Manufacturing and Plex ERP

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.

Fishbowl Manufacturing objects Plex ERP objects
Bills of materials Component structures read for costing and material planning. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards
Customers Buyer records kept aligned with a CRM. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools
Vendors Supplier records synced with purchasing systems. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system
Locations Warehouses and location groups that partition inventory quantities. Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting
