Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Ironclad

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Ironclad and DEAR Inventory.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Ironclad 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Workflow Approvals, Signature Packets, Workflow Documents, Workflows in Ironclad 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

  • 01 Sync Entities (counterparties) two-way with a CRM or ERP so company and vendor master data matches across the CLM and the systems of record.
  • 02 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 03 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
  • 04 Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad collects payments: transactions post through

Where DEAR Inventory is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from DEAR Inventory stays current in Ironclad, 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.
