Why teams connect IBM Informix and QAD ERP

Give your engineers QAD 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 Customers, Suppliers, Sales orders, Purchase orders from QAD ERP into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever QAD 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 QAD ERP 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 items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.
  • Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.

Where QAD ERP is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM Informix for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

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

Read ERP records with a query

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

What you can sync between IBM Informix and QAD 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 QAD ERP objects
Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting
Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems
Rows The unit of read and write, keyed by primary key. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM
Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools
TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status
Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems
