System Integration: Connect Data with DDL
StoneSync is our framework for custom data and system integration, whether SQL Server, ODBC, SQLite or legacy system. Not an off-the-shelf product, but tailored integration with custom field mapping and data conversion.
What StoneSync does
From local database to cloud, without switching systems. StoneSync is individually adapted to existing infrastructure, delivering real integration instead of rough automation.
Bidirectional synchronization
Changes in both directions: local scanner data to cloud, cloud changes back to local database.
Slab scanner integration
Automatic import of slab scan images from photo booths and inline scanners.
Block photo upload
Multiple block photos per block, automatically synced from local folder structure to DDL.
Any source system
SQL Server, ODBC, SQLite or proprietary legacy systems: connection to existing databases, including field mapping, data conversion and ID resolution.
Zero-overwrite protection
Scanner-measured dimensions are NEVER overwritten by cloud data. Local precision data stays protected.
Automatic restart
Runs as a background process, auto-restarts if interrupted via Windows Task Scheduler.
How StoneSync works
From system analysis to continuous synchronization, the integration is handled end to end.
System analysis
Analysis of the local database, interfaces and data formats, whether SQL Server, ODBC, SQLite or legacy system.
Custom field mapping
Configuration of field mapping between source system and DDL, conversion of data formats and resolution of ID conflicts.
Test run & sign-off
Initial sync in dry-run mode: results are reviewed before data goes live.
Always in sync
After sign-off, StoneSync runs automatically in the background and keeps everything in sync. Auto-restarts if interrupted.
StoneSync under the hood
Upload scan images and photos automatically
StoneSync monitors configurable local paths and automatically uploads new slab scan images to the DDL cloud. Block photos are synced from the folder structure.
- Slab scan images from configurable local paths
- Path remapping for network drives and different drive letters
- MD5 deduplication: only changed images are uploaded
- Support for inline scanners and photo booths
- Block photos from local folder structure
Change detection and custom field mapping
StoneSync detects changes in your local database and only syncs changed records. The integration is individually adapted to your database schema and field structure.
- Change detection adapted to your database system
- Only changed records are synced
- Full field mapping, individually adapted to your schema
- Material, color and finish ID mapping to DDL
- Product types: Blocks, Slabs, Tiles
- Cascading changes: material rename re-syncs all related slabs
Deploy safely, run reliably
StoneSync was built for continuous operation. Multiple safety mechanisms protect data and prevent unintended changes.
- Dry-run mode for safe initial deployment
- Zero-overwrite protection for scanner dimensions
- Infinite loop prevention (sync-originated changes are filtered out)
- Auto-restart via Windows Task Scheduler
- State persistence across restarts
- Log export for troubleshooting
Frequently asked questions about StoneSync
Synchronization is just the beginning
Slab Digitization

Integration, not isolation
No matter what system is in use today, the bridge to DDL can be built. In a personal conversation, the existing infrastructure is analyzed and StoneSync is individually tailored to the system.
