Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and Slack

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Slack and SAP Business ByDesign.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Slack 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Channels, Messages, Threads, Users in Slack with Opportunities, Projects, Employees, Business Partners (Accounts) in SAP Business ByDesign 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

  • Archive channel messages into a warehouse or database for compliance and analytics
  • Create or update records in a database when specific messages or reactions occur in a channel
  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • Sync project and time data with external professional-services tools for billing.

Where SAP Business ByDesign is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP Business ByDesign stays current in Slack, 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.

Where Slack faces customers and SAP Business ByDesign carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP Business ByDesign appears alongside the customer in Slack, so front-line teams answer from live data.

What you can sync between SAP Business ByDesign and Slack

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.

SAP Business ByDesign objects Slack objects
Customer Invoices Billing documents synced outward for collections and CRM visibility. Channels Conversations (public, private, DMs) that messages are read from and posted to.
Materials / Products Item master data aligned with e-commerce and inventory systems. Messages Keyed by channel and timestamp; posted via chat.postMessage and read via history methods.
