Datacor's page for IT teams describes open APIs and a modular architecture, but no API reference is published, and Datacor's support site requires a customer login. The documented ways data leaves are DataLab, CRM Premium's nightly warehouse sync and report exports. Discovery asks Datacor which of these, or which API access, your licence includes." }, { "q": "Is Datacor ERP the same product as Chempax?", "a": "Yes. Datacor renamed Chempax to Datacor ERP in 2019, and renamed its web CRM, eChempax, to Datacor CRM at the same time. Its product page still carries both names. Older installations may be on one of two earlier lines, Chempax C/S or ChempaxVB.NET, so discovery confirms which version you run before anyone maps a field." }, { "q": "Should we keep Datacor CRM if sales moves to HubSpot?", "a": "Only with one owner per record. Datacor CRM reads ERP pricing, inventory and orders without a sync, which HubSpot cannot. If both systems stay, Datacor CRM keeps quotes and pricing, HubSpot keeps marketing and the pipeline, and contacts flow one way. Two CRMs editing the same contact overwrite each other, and nobody can then say which version is right." }, { "q": "Which Datacor records should stay out of HubSpot?", "a": "Safety data sheets, certificates of analysis, lot genealogy and the DOT detail on a bill of lading. Datacor generates and distributes those documents with each shipment under its own controls, and a copy in a CRM goes stale the first time a document is revised. HubSpot can carry the order and shipment status and link a rep back to Datacor." }, { "q": "How fresh is Datacor data in HubSpot?", "a": "As fresh as the warehouse copy the sync reads. CRM Premium synchronizes its warehouse daily or nightly, and DataLab runs managed pipelines under service levels that Datacor does not publish. Plan on HubSpot showing yesterday's orders and invoices, which answers most account questions, and on a custom service where a team needs order status within the hour." }, { "q": "What happens if a Datacor warehouse refresh arrives late or twice?", "a": "A late refresh delays HubSpot and never corrupts it. The sync checks the copy's own refresh time before it runs, alerts when the copy is stale, and reads only rows past each object's watermark. Every write is an upsert keyed on a Datacor number, so a repeated refresh updates the same records rather than creating new ones." }, { "q": "What does a Datacor and HubSpot integration take?", "a": "Allow 10 to 20 hours of discovery and 70 to 150 hours of build for six objects, per-object watermarks, a replay endpoint and a reconciliation report. Discovery settles three things: which warehouse copy you license, how the customer product profile should look to a seller, and whether Datacor CRM stays beside HubSpot or retires." } ], "sections": [ { "depth": 2, "text": "Why teams connect Datacor Chempax to HubSpot", "anchor": "#why-teams-connect-datacor-chempax-to-hubspot", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#why-teams-connect-datacor-chempax-to-hubspot" }, { "depth": 2, "text": "What syncs", "anchor": "#what-syncs", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#what-syncs" }, { "depth": 2, "text": "Architecture", "anchor": "#architecture", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#architecture" }, { "depth": 2, "text": "Three ways to connect", "anchor": "#three-ways-to-connect", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#three-ways-to-connect" }, { "depth": 2, "text": "What breaks and how we prevent it", "anchor": "#what-breaks-and-how-we-prevent-it", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#what-breaks-and-how-we-prevent-it" }, { "depth": 3, "text": "One product, a dozen pack sizes", "anchor": "#one-product-a-dozen-pack-sizes", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#one-product-a-dozen-pack-sizes" }, { "depth": 3, "text": "Two CRMs editing one contact", "anchor": "#two-crms-editing-one-contact", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#two-crms-editing-one-contact" }, { "depth": 3, "text": "A warehouse copy that stops refreshing", "anchor": "#a-warehouse-copy-that-stops-refreshing", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#a-warehouse-copy-that-stops-refreshing" }, { "depth": 3, "text": "Regulatory documents copied into deals", "anchor": "#regulatory-documents-copied-into-deals", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#regulatory-documents-copied-into-deals" }, { "depth": 2, "text": "Our approach", "anchor": "#our-approach", "url": "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/integrations/datacor/#our-approach" } ], "caseStudies": [], "guides": [ "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/guides/reverse-etl-warehouse-to-hubspot/", "https://apps.sectorgrowth.com/guides/choose-a-hubspot-integration-approach/" ], "status": "published", "verifiedAt": "2026-09-28", "updatedAt": "2026-09-28", "authors": [ { "name": "Prash", "role": "Lead of Technical Integrations and AI Solutions" } ], "sources": [ { "title": "Datacor (Chempax) ERP Software | Purpose-Built for Manufacturers", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/products/erp" }, { "title": "Datacor ERP Features & Capabilities", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/products/erp/capabilities" }, { "title": "Solutions for IT/IS", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/solutions/it" }, { "title": "Datacor DataLab Analytics", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/solutions/datacor-ai/datalab" }, { "title": "Enhance Your Potential with CRM Premium", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/resources/enhance-your-potential-crm-premium" }, { "title": "Datacor (eChempax): CRM Software for the Chemical Industry", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/products/crm" }, { "title": "Datacor Carries Chempax Legacy into Updated Corporate Brand and Website", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/resources/datacor-carries-chempax-legacy-into-updated-corporate-brand-and-website" }, { "title": "Resource Planning in ChempaxVB.NET", "url": "https://www.datacor.com/resources/resource-planning-in-chempaxvb.net" }, { "title": "Agent Connections", "url": "https://docs.skyvia.com/connections/agent-connections.html" } ] }
