Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Fishbowl Manufacturing

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps DEAR Inventory and Fishbowl Manufacturing consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products in DEAR Inventory with Manufacture orders, Bills of materials, Customers, Vendors in Fishbowl Manufacturing bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
  • 02 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
  • 03 Sync e-commerce orders into Fishbowl as sales orders and return fulfillment status and tracking numbers.
  • 04 Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.

Common sync patterns

Two-tier roll-up

Where subsidiaries run one system and headquarters runs the other, shared records and transactions flow up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Migration in parallel

When one system is replacing the other, run both fully live during the transition and cut over without a data freeze.

Shared master data

Where both systems keep records of the same customers, suppliers, or organizations, a correction in either updates the other.
