Real-time vs batch syncing

Σύντομη απάντηση

The two ways of moving data between systems: instantly on each event, or grouped at scheduled intervals.

Βασικά συμπεράσματα

  • Stock and availability (ATP) in the portal
  • Orders that must be processed immediately
  • Delivery statuses, notifications

The two paradigms

Data can move between systems in real time (each event immediately triggers a transfer) or in batch (data accumulates and is processed in groups, at intervals - e.g. hourly or overnight).

Real-time - when

  • Stock and availability (ATP) in the portal
  • Orders that must be processed immediately
  • Delivery statuses, notifications

Batch - when

  • Bulk syncs (catalogues, prices, master data)
  • Reports and financial reconciliations
  • High volumes where delay is acceptable

The trade-off

Real-time gives freshness but consumes more resources and is more error-sensitive. Batch is efficient and robust but introduces latency. Mature systems combine both, by data type.

How CRMconnect helps

CRMconnect supports real-time flows (webhooks, API) for time-sensitive data and scheduled batch flows for high volumes, choosing the right mode per data type - freshness where it counts, efficiency where it's enough.

Πραγματικό παράδειγμα

A retailer synced everything overnight in batch, so portal stock was always a day old, generating unfulfillable orders. With CRMconnect, stock moves to real-time while large catalogues stay on batch - correct and efficient.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις

Which is better, real-time or batch?+

It depends on the data type. Real-time for time-sensitive data (stock, orders, statuses); batch for high volumes where slight delay is acceptable (catalogues, reports). Best is combined.

Isn't real-time always better?+

Not necessarily. Real-time consumes more resources and is more complex to operate. For bulk syncs or reconciliations, batch is more efficient and robust.
