Why teams connect IBM Informix and Infor M3

Give your engineers Infor M3'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 Customers, Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders from Infor M3 into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Infor M3 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 Infor M3 with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Run a two-way sync between an Informix-backed retail or POS application and a CRM so store data reaches go-to-market teams.
  • Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
  • Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Infor M3 live in IBM Informix as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Infor M3 interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Infor M3 arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Infor M3

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.

IBM Informix objects Infor M3 objects
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility.
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from.
