Automate your replenishment with the Microsoft SQL integration

Optiply reads products, stock, suppliers and orders from Microsoft SQL, from the tables and views or from tailored queries. Optiply's supply chain agent follows the guardrails set by Microsoft SQL data and internal purchasing rules, so teams stay in control while orders run automatically. Every decision is explained on SKU level.

Turn Microsoft SQL data into purchasing decisions, automatically

If your commercial data lives in Microsoft SQL, Optiply can use it directly. Your tables, views or tailored queries supply the fields Optiply needs, so you work from current numbers.

  • The supply chain agent forecasts demand from the data in your database
  • Use your own tables and views, or tailored queries, to match Optiply's fields
  • Purchase orders flow back to Microsoft SQL with their expected delivery date

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the

Microsoft SQL

integration

How does the Microsoft SQL integration work?

Optiply reads your Microsoft SQL tables and views, or runs tailored queries, to import products, stock, suppliers, sales, purchases, receipts and compositions. The supply chain agent turns them into purchasing advice that you review or automate to your own rules.

Why connect Microsoft SQL to Optiply?

If your commercial data already lives in Microsoft SQL, Optiply can use it directly. The supply chain agent turns it into daily purchasing advice and explains every decision on SKU level, while the team keeps its own rules.

How do I connect Microsoft SQL to Optiply?

Optiply Support completes the connection with you. In Optiply you open Settings, then Integrations, add Microsoft SQL as a source and contact Support to start the setup.

How long does it take to connect Microsoft SQL to Optiply?

There's no fixed setup time for connecting Microsoft SQL to Optiply, because it depends on the setup and data. Connecting the account and the first data import are separate steps, so confirm both with Optiply Support for a reliable timeline.

How can inventory automation help a business that keeps its data in Microsoft SQL?

Having the data isn't the same as acting on it. Automating replenishment turns your products, stock and sales into daily advice, so the team reviews proposals instead of building reports and can help avoid stockouts and excess stock.

Do I stay in control of purchasing decisions?

Yes. The supply chain agent follows the rules set by the team, explains every recommendation on SKU level and only flags what falls outside them. How much to automate is a choice.

Always make the right purchasing decisions

Keep control of your supply chain. Know exactly what, when and where to buy and always place the right orders to maximize revenue.
