Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Demandbase

Feed the real customer, order, and revenue records from DEAR Inventory into Demandbase so campaigns run on who actually bought what, and let contact and consent changes flow back in real time.

Marketing runs on lists of people, but the list rarely knows which of those people are paying customers, what they ordered, or what they are worth. DEAR Inventory holds exactly that: Stock levels, Sale orders, Purchase orders, Customers that record who the customer is, what they bought, and what they owe. When the two are joined only by a periodic export, campaigns go out against stale audiences, existing customers get prospecting emails, high-value accounts look the same as cold leads, and a canceled order still counts toward a segment.

Stacksync syncs Stock levels, Sale orders, Purchase orders, Customers in DEAR Inventory with Opportunities, People (Persons), Activities, Campaigns in Demandbase in real time, and where both sides accept writes, in both directions. Customer, order, and invoice data maps field by field onto the contacts, audiences, or accounts Demandbase works with, so segmentation and personalization run on current purchase history instead of a month-old snapshot. Contact details and consent changes that originate in Demandbase flow back onto the record in DEAR Inventory.

The strongest bridge between the two is identity and purchase history, who the customer is and what they have bought, so that is where most of the value sits. Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps the attributes the other has no use for; only the shared records are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.
  • 02 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.
  • 03 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.
  • 04 Push warehouse-computed account scores, custom fields, and audiences into Demandbase via the Data Import API so ABM campaigns and sales plays target the segments the warehouse defines.

Common sync patterns

Purchase history drives segmentation

Orders, invoices, and revenue totals from DEAR Inventory land on the matching contact or account in Demandbase, so audiences are built from what customers actually bought and spent rather than from guesses.

Suppress or target existing customers

Because DEAR Inventory knows who is already a paying customer, Demandbase can exclude them from acquisition campaigns or single them out for renewal and cross-sell.

One customer identity across both systems

A person or company's contact details corrected in either system update the other, so marketing and the back office stop maintaining separate versions of the same record.
