Why teams connect QuickBooks and SugarCRM

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between QuickBooks and SugarCRM in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. SugarCRM knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. QuickBooks knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Customers, Invoices, Payments, Bills in QuickBooks to Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities in SugarCRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • Sync invoices and payments between QuickBooks and the CRM so sales sees billing status on the account record.
  • Mirror the chart of accounts and journal entries into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting.
  • Two-way sync between SugarCRM and an ERP so account, quote, and order data match in both systems
  • Replicate Sugar modules into Postgres so RevOps can query CRM data with SQL and drive internal tools

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from SugarCRM when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where SugarCRM tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in QuickBooks with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from QuickBooks appears on the account in SugarCRM, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.
