Why teams connect IBM Informix and Plex ERP

Give your engineers Plex ERP'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 Shipments, Quality records, Parts, Inventory from Plex ERP into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Plex ERP 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 Plex ERP 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.
  • Keep customers, parts, and pricing aligned between Plex and the CRM the sales team uses.
  • Push sales orders captured in e-commerce or EDI systems into Plex for scheduling and fulfillment.

Controlled write-back

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

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Plex ERP 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 Plex ERP interface, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between IBM Informix 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.

IBM Informix objects Plex ERP objects
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting
Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. Sales orders Demand records written in from e-commerce or EDI channels and read out for fulfillment status
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning systems
