Rootstock API
Rootstock has no API of its own: every object rides the standard Salesforce APIs (REST, SOAP, Bulk, Platform Events) under Salesforce governor limits. Rootstock-specific object and field docs sit behind the partner-gated Success Community login, and there is no first-party webhook product.
Frequently asked questions
Rootstock scores D on the API Report Card. Rootstock has no API of its own: every object rides the standard Salesforce APIs (REST, SOAP, Bulk, Platform Events) under Salesforce governor limits. Rootstock-specific object and field docs sit behind the partner-gated Success Community login, and there is no first-party webhook product.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Rootstock Software is a privately held cloud ERP vendor headquartered in San Ramon, California, founded in 2008 by alumni of Relevant Business Systems (a legacy on-prem manufacturing ERP).
Vertical: Enterprise/HR/ERP, specifically Manufacturing & Distribution Cloud ERP for mid-market companies that have either already standardized on Salesforce CRM or are leaving legacy on-prem ERPs (Epicor, Made2Manage, IQMS, Infor SyteLine, Sage X3, Microsoft Dynamics GP/NAV, JD Edwards) and want a cloud successor that doesn't force a second admin/identity/security stack. A discrete manufacturer running Rootstock logs into Salesforce Lightning and works inside Rootstock's app tabs: production planners run MRP and master production scheduling jobs, generate work orders, and dispatch them to the shop floor; shop-floor operators clock on/off operations and report production via Rootstock Manufacturing Operations / Connected Worker screens (often tablet-based); buyers convert MRP-suggested purchase orders into supplier POs and manage receipts; warehouse staff transact inventory issues, transfers, cycle counts, and lot/serial tracking; quality teams record non-conformances and CAPAs; engineering pushes ECOs that update item masters and BOMs; project managers running ETO/CTO orders work in Rootstock's project manufacturing module to track cost-to-complete and milestone billing; controllers run AP/AR/GL, multi-currency revaluation, period close, and consolidations in Rootstock Financials; the sales team works in Salesforce CRM/CPQ where opportunities convert directly into Rootstock sales orders against shared accounts and products.
5/10, meaningful in its niche but not dominant.
Yes, Rootstock holds the operational and financial system of record for the manufacturers and distributors that run on it.
Founded in 2008 in San Ramon, California by founders from Relevant Business Systems (a 1980s-era discrete manufacturing ERP), making Rootstock 18 years old in 2026.
Rootstock object/field documentation is largely partner-gated behind the Success Community login, slowing third-party integrators who do not have a Rootstock-licensed Salesforce org to inspect the schema directly. All Rootstock integration inherits Salesforce platform governor limits, daily 24-hour rolling API call caps (based on user license count and edition), Bulk API job/batch quotas, 50 MB heap, 6 MB sync callout payload, making high-volume ERP loads (large PO imports, inventory snapshots, MRP-generated work-order batches) require Bulk API choreography rather than naive REST loops.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Rootstock API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Rootstock data. See the Rootstock integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/rootstock-api.
