Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Infor M3

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps DEAR Inventory and Infor M3 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 Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations in DEAR Inventory with Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses, Price Lists in Infor M3 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 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 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 04 Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock

Common sync patterns

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.

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.

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and Infor M3

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.
