Why teams connect IBM Informix and Linnworks

Give your engineers Linnworks'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 Shipping Services, Open Orders, Processed Orders, Stock Items from Linnworks into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Linnworks 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 Linnworks 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.
  • Sync product and listing data with a PIM so channel listings stay aligned with the catalog
  • Push customer and order data to a CRM or marketing platform for post-purchase campaigns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM Informix back into Linnworks, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Linnworks 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 Linnworks interface, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM Informix and Linnworks

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 Linnworks objects
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Returns & Refunds Post-sale records flow to finance and support systems.
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Shipping Services Carrier and service definitions support label and tracking data in order syncs.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Open Orders Unshipped orders aggregated from sales channels sync into ERPs and fulfillment systems.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Processed Orders Completed orders feed accounting and warehouse-based margin reporting.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Stock Items SKU records keep product data aligned with ERPs and PIMs.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Stock Levels Per-location quantities sync outward so channels and planning tools reflect current availability.
