Why teams connect QAD ERP and Zendesk

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Zendesk and QAD ERP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Zendesk is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Tickets, Tickets Comments, Users, Organizations in Zendesk with Suppliers, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Work orders in QAD ERP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • Mirror high-priority or escalated tickets into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Consolidate several Zendesk instances into one reporting database after a merger or brand split.
  • Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.
  • Sync items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.

Where Zendesk faces customers and QAD ERP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from QAD ERP appears alongside the customer in Zendesk, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where QAD ERP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from QAD ERP stays current in Zendesk, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.
