Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Drift
Close the gap between front office and back office: Drift and DEAR Inventory share customers and status in real time, in both directions.
Drift holds the customer relationship; DEAR Inventory runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.
Stacksync syncs Accounts, Users, Playbooks, Meetings in Drift with Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers in DEAR Inventory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.
Common use cases
- Enrich Drift contact and account records with firmographic or product data from an internal database to sharpen playbook targeting.
- Sync meetings booked in Drift to CRM activities so pipeline attribution stays accurate.
- Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
- Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
Where DEAR Inventory handles order-to-cash: closed-won flows through
A deal won in Drift creates or updates the customer in DEAR Inventory with clean data, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.
Where DEAR Inventory is the finance system of record: money status on the account
Invoice and payment state from DEAR Inventory shows on the account in Drift, so reps see balances before promising the next order.
One customer master
Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.
