Connect Stord to Parabola

Pull Stord inventory, sales orders, shipments, and receipts into Parabola to automate fulfillment reporting, reconciliation, and warehouse alerts.

Stord is a cloud-based supply chain platform that combines warehouse management, fulfillment, and transportation across a network of facilities. Connecting Stord to Parabola lets ops, finance, and supply-chain teams pull inventory, orders, shipments, and product data into the same flows used for accounting, sales-channel reconciliation, and BI reporting, without writing code or paying for a separate ETL tool.

Pull from Stord

The Pull from Stord step brings live data from your Stord One Console into Parabola so you can transform it, blend it with data from other systems, and trigger alerts on custom logic.

How to authenticate

Stord uses a Bearer token (also called an API secret key). You’ll need this token from your Stord account to connect.

1. Get your credentials in Stord

   • From the Stord One Console, go to My Profile > API Keys and select Create API Key.
   • Add or edit the key name to describe how the key will be used.
   • Modify the key’s permissions to grant only the access this key needs.
   • Select Create Token to generate the secret.
   • Copy the secret to a secure place; you won’t be able to see it again.
2. Connect in Parabola

   • In your flow, add a Pull from Stord step.
   • Click Authorize and enter your API secret key (Bearer token) when prompted.
   • Once connected, select the Stord resource you want to pull and configure any filters (dates, SKUs, facilities, order statuses) offered by the step.

Available data

The Pull from Stord step gives you access to a wide range of records across inventory, orders, shipments, and products:

• Inventory: Current balances by SKU, lot number, facility, and expiration date, including locked, unlocked, and total on-hand quantities.
• Receipt confirmations: Received inventory details with order numbers, processing status, and timestamps for purchase and transfer orders.
• Sales orders: Outbound order data including order details, customer information, delivery addresses, and order status.
• Purchase orders: Inbound purchase order data with supplier information and expected receipts.
• Transfer orders: Inter-facility transfer details showing inventory movements between warehouses.
• Shipment confirmations: Tracking numbers and shipment details once orders have shipped.
• Order documents: Packing slips and other order-related documents.
• Products: Product catalog data including SKUs, names, product types (items, kits, listings), and attributes.

Common use cases

• Reconcile orders across sales channels: Join Stord sales orders with order data from Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, and Walmart so customer service catches missing or delayed fulfillments before customers do.
• Audit carrier invoices: Cross-reference Stord shipment confirmations against carrier bills from DHL, FedEx, UPS, or EasyPost to flag overcharges and billing variances.
• Push fulfillment data into accounting: Send Stord shipment and order data to NetSuite or QuickBooks Online on a schedule so finance can post fulfillment costs and revenue cleanly.
• Trigger inventory alerts: Pull inventory balances across facilities, then send a Slack alert when key SKUs drop below reorder thresholds or when a single facility shows a discrepancy.
• Validate receipts against POs: Compare Stord receipt confirmations to purchase orders from your ERP (such as Fulfil or Cin7) to catch short-receipts and quantity mismatches.
• Build cross-warehouse dashboards: Export reconciled Stord data to Google Drive, Smartsheet, or Snowflake so ops, finance, and CX work from the same numbers.

Tips for using Parabola with Stord

• Match cadence to use case. Hourly during peak fulfillment windows, daily for inventory reconciliation, weekly for performance reporting.
• Use date filters for incremental pulls. Pulling “all orders ever” gets slow on a busy operation. Filter to “updated in the last 7 days” and let downstream logic handle history.
• Filter by facility for multi-warehouse setups. Add a facility filter when comparing performance or inventory across locations so each pull stays focused.
• Join sales orders with shipment confirmations to calculate fulfillment speed and SLA compliance per order.
• Set up Checks and Alerts to catch exceptions: orders missing shipping info, inventory adjustments without reason codes, or receipts that don’t match expected quantities.
• Archive history for trend analysis. Push reconciled Stord data to a warehouse like BigQuery or Snowflake so you can analyze trends without hitting the Stord API repeatedly.

FAQ

Can I push data back into Stord?

The Pull from Stord step is read-only. To write back to Stord (for example, creating an order or updating inventory), use a generic Send to an API step pointed at the relevant Stord endpoint with your Bearer token.

How do I limit a pull to one facility or SKU?

Use the filters exposed in the Pull from Stord step (facility, SKU, date range, status). For more advanced filtering, add a Filter rows step right after the pull.

Can I pull data from multiple Stord environments in one flow?

Yes. Add multiple Pull from Stord steps and authorize each with a different API key, then union the results downstream.
