Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix
Give your engineers DEAR Inventory's data in IBM Informix: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.
ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.
Stacksync mirrors Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products from DEAR Inventory into IBM Informix and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever DEAR Inventory is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM Informix sync back into DEAR Inventory with its validations respected.
Common use cases
- 01 Keep embedded or edge Informix instances aligned with a central operational database.
- 02 Feed inventory and transaction data from legacy Informix applications into modern ERPs during migration.
- 03 Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.
- 04 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.
Common sync patterns
Internal tools and automations without API code
Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the DEAR Inventory interface, limits, and retries.
React to ERP changes
Updates in DEAR Inventory arrive as row changes in IBM Informix, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.
Where DEAR Inventory is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems
Worker and org records stay current in IBM Informix for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.
What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| DEAR Inventory objects | IBM Informix objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase orders Supplier orders and receiving records synced with accounting and planning tools. | Views Read-only projections used to shape outbound data. | Purchase orders is specific to DEAR Inventory and Views to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. | TimeSeries objects Informix's native time-series type, usually exposed to syncs through virtual tables. | Customers is specific to DEAR Inventory and TimeSeries objects to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. | Stored procedures Server-side logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. | Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Stored procedures to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. | Logical logs The transaction log that Informix's CDC interface reads committed changes from. | Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Logical logs to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. | Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. | Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Databases to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. | Tables Relational tables mapped directly to sync targets. | Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Tables to IBM Informix — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
DEAR Inventory IBM Informix Sub-second propagation
DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Informix as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
IBM Informix DEAR Inventory Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in IBM Informix are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Informix's Change Data Capture API reading committed changes from logical logs.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to DEAR Inventory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- DEAR Inventory: Subject to the platform's per-account API rate limits.
- IBM Informix: Bounded by server resources and session limits rather than an API quota.

FAQ
DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as DEAR Inventory's Purchase orders and Customers), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
DEAR Inventory: REST API. Authentication: Account ID plus application key sent as request headers. IBM Informix: SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers; DRDA connectivity is also supported. Authentication: Database credentials. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
IBM Informix: Its native TimeSeries data type stores time-stamped rows compactly and is a common reason Informix runs in IoT and metering workloads. DEAR Inventory: DEAR Systems was acquired by Cin7 and the product now operates as Cin7 Core; the API and data model carried over from DEAR. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed DEAR Inventory and IBM Informix connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom DEAR Inventory–IBM Informix integration in-house.
-
