Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Front
Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and DEAR Inventory.
The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.
Stacksync syncs Comments, Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes in Front with Products, Stock levels, Sale orders, Purchase orders in DEAR Inventory bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.
Common use cases
- Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
- Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
- 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 Front faces customers and DEAR Inventory carries account records
Order, invoice, or account status from DEAR Inventory appears alongside the customer in Front, so front-line teams answer from live data.
Where DEAR Inventory is the HR or people system of record
Worker and organization data from DEAR Inventory stays current in Front, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
Master data corrections travel
A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.
