Why teams connect IBM Informix and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Give your engineers Microsoft Dynamics NAV'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 Items, Sales Orders & Invoices, Purchase Orders, G/L Entries from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Replicate Informix tables into a cloud warehouse using its change data capture interface for near-real-time reporting.
  • Sync sensor and meter readings stored in Informix TimeSeries structures to analytics platforms.
  • Sync customers, items, and orders between NAV and a CRM in both directions.
  • Push ecommerce orders into NAV sales orders through published page services.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms.
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Vendors Vendor cards aligned with procurement and AP tools.
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Items Item cards and availability mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems.
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Sales Orders & Invoices Sales documents created from external orders and read back for posting status.
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Purchase Orders Purchasing documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems.
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting.
