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.
