Two-way sync
Changes in DEAR Inventory or Infor M3 instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep DEAR Inventory and Infor M3 in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
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.
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.
Where subsidiaries run one system and headquarters runs the other, shared records and transactions flow up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.
When one system is replacing the other, run both fully live during the transition and cut over without a data freeze.
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 | Infor M3 objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase orders Supplier orders and receiving records synced with accounting and planning tools. | Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. | Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping. | |
| Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. | Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. | Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. | Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Customer Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. | Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. | Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Manufacturing Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. | Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. | Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Inventory Balances to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Authenticate DEAR Inventory and Infor M3 with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the DEAR Inventory and Infor M3 objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between DEAR Inventory and Infor M3: 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.
On the DEAR Inventory side: Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, plus custom fields where DEAR Inventory exposes them. On the Infor M3 side: Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses, Price Lists. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
Common patterns for DEAR Inventory and Infor M3: Split by function; Two-tier roll-up; Migration in parallel. 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.
DEAR Inventory: REST API. Authentication: Account ID plus application key sent as request headers. Infor M3: REST API (M3 API programs exposed through the Infor ION API gateway). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via Infor OS / ION API authorization. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
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. Infor M3: M3 business logic is exposed through M3 API programs (MI programs), which Infor publishes as REST endpoints through the ION API gateway rather than as a single flat resource model. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between DEAR Inventory and Infor M3 without custom code.
