Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Paylocity
Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that DEAR Inventory and Paylocity share in real time, so the people Paylocity manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.
Paylocity 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 Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production in DEAR Inventory with Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements in Paylocity 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 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.
- 02 Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
- 03 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
- 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
Common sync patterns
Reporting lines drive approvals
Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in DEAR Inventory pointed at the right people.
Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books
Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into DEAR Inventory as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.
Where Paylocity is the worker system of record: one employee master
When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity, the matching employee record in DEAR Inventory is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

How changes propagate between DEAR Inventory and Paylocity
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 Paylocity Sub-second propagation
DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Paylocity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Paylocity DEAR Inventory Sub-second propagation
