Case Study
Real-Time Bi-Directional Data Sync Between Sage Intacct and a Third-Party Budgeting Tool
Client Profile
Industry: Financial Software Consulting
Client Type: Sage Intacct Implementation Partner
Need: Automate secure, two-way data exchange between Sage Intacct and an external budgeting platform to eliminate manual reconciliation, reduce lag, and enable real-time reporting.
The Challenge
Finance teams were bogged down by a lack of native integration between Sage Intacct and their preferred budgeting tool. This caused:
- Manual CSV exports and re-imports across platforms
- Delays in variance analysis and financial reporting
- Risk of human error and broken audit trails
- Friction during financial close cycles
The client needed a robust, secure, and scalable integration — not a quick fix — that could handle both systems’ APIs and support growth.
Our AI-Ready Automation Workflow (Powered by Kubernetes)
We designed and deployed a Kubernetes-based microservices architecture to manage two-way, real-time sync between Sage Intacct and the budgeting tool.
🔧 Technologies Used:
- Kubernetes for container orchestration and high availability
- Python-based microservices to handle each integration task (fetching, transforming, syncing)
- Sage Intacct SDK + REST APIs for secure accounting data access
- Third-party budgeting tool API for seamless push/pull logic
- PostgreSQL & Redis for state management and job queuing
- Custom validation engine to catch anomalies and prevent bad data
- Grafana & Prometheus for monitoring and logging
🧠 Key Innovations:
- Bi-directional sync of general ledger, department budgets, journal entries, and custom dimensions
- Kubernetes-native scaling to support peak financial activity (e.g., month-end close)
- Validation layer using business rules and AI-based anomaly detection (e.g., out-of-range entries)
- Error reporting pipeline with Slack/email notifications for failed syncs or schema mismatches
- Containerized and portable — ready to deploy across GCP, Azure, or private cloud environments
