Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Hibob

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that DEAR Inventory and Hibob share in real time, so the people Hibob manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Hibob is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. DEAR Inventory runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Locations, Products, Stock levels, Sale orders in DEAR Inventory with Lifecycle, Documents, Named lists, People (Employees) in Hibob field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while DEAR Inventory keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

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 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.
  • 04 Auto-provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP, ticketing tool, or app database when Bob Lifecycle events fire employee joined or terminated.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Hibob keep expense and purchase approval chains in DEAR Inventory pointed at the right people.

Where Hibob runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Hibob posts into DEAR Inventory as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Hibob is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Hibob, the matching employee record in DEAR Inventory is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.
