Why teams connect Front and QAD ERP

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and QAD ERP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates in Front with Items, Customers, Suppliers, Sales orders in QAD ERP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Front faces customers and QAD ERP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from QAD ERP appears alongside the customer in Front, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where QAD ERP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from QAD ERP stays current in Front, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
