Why teams connect Akeneo and DEAR Inventory

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and DEAR Inventory share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; DEAR Inventory owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Products, Product models, Categories, Attributes in Akeneo with Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production in DEAR Inventory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from DEAR Inventory, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 03 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.
  • 04 Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Akeneo creates the matching record in DEAR Inventory with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in DEAR Inventory, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Stock levels to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and DEAR Inventory

Akeneo DEAR Inventory Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to DEAR Inventory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • DEAR Inventory: Subject to the platform's per-account API rate limits.
