Why teams connect Pigment and Postgres Heroku

Work with Pigment's financial data straight from Postgres Heroku: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Tables, Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions from Pigment into Follower Databases, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Postgres Heroku and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Postgres Heroku, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Pigment with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync headcount and compensation data from an HRIS into workforce planning models.
  • Push CRM pipeline data (deals, stages, amounts) into Pigment for revenue and capacity planning.
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

React to financial events

Changes in Pigment appear in Postgres Heroku as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Pigment live in Postgres Heroku as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Postgres Heroku; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Pigment.

What you can sync between Pigment and Postgres Heroku

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.

Pigment objects Postgres Heroku objects
Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes.
Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems.
Dimension lists Master data like accounts, products, or employees that metrics are sliced by JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata.
Tables Row-based transactional data loaded into models from source systems Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Scenarios Versions such as budget, forecast, and actuals that give exported figures their context Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Data imports Scheduled loads that bring actuals from ERPs, CRMs, and HRIS into the model Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
