Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Pinecone

Ground Pinecone on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in DEAR Inventory, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Pinecone produces back onto those records in real time.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. DEAR Inventory is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Pinecone produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in DEAR Inventory where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Namespaces, Collections, Backups, Index statistics in Pinecone with Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products in DEAR Inventory and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products from DEAR Inventory replicate into Pinecone continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Pinecone generates sync back onto the matching record in DEAR Inventory. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Pinecone reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep a Pinecone index aligned with a source of truth (a product catalog, knowledge base, or CRM) so new, changed, and deleted records upsert and delete the matching vectors.
  • 02 Two-way sync vector metadata between Pinecone and an operational database so filters and tags stay aligned on both sides.
  • 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

Document extraction round-trip

Purchase orders, invoices, or other documents flow from DEAR Inventory into Pinecone for parsing or classification, and the structured result returns to the record it came from.

ERP records as live context

Customers, suppliers, items, and transactions from DEAR Inventory replicate into Pinecone as they change, so search, retrieval, and reasoning run against current records rather than a periodic extract.

Derived fields back on the record

Categories, scores, or extracted values produced in Pinecone sync onto the matching record in DEAR Inventory, where operations and finance teams see and act on them without leaving the ERP.

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and Pinecone

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 Pinecone objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Supplier orders and receiving records synced with accounting and planning tools. Backups Point-in-time snapshots of a serverless index; created, listed, and restored into a new index on the control plane for recovery or cloning. Read as a recovery-asset inventory. Purchase orders is specific to DEAR Inventory and Backups to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. Index statistics Describe_index_stats returns total and per-namespace vector counts, the index dimension, and index fullness; read to size a sync and to detect drift between Pinecone and the source of truth. Customers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Index statistics to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. Indexes Serverless or pod-based containers holding vectors of a fixed dimension and distance metric (cosine, dotproduct, euclidean); managed on the control plane (api.pinecone.io) via create, list, describe, configure, and delete. describe_index returns the per-index data-plane host. Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Indexes to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. Vectors (records) The core data: an id (up to 512 chars), a dense values array, optional sparse_values, and JSON metadata (up to 40 KB filterable per record). Full CRUD on the data plane via upsert, update, fetch, query, and delete, so write is supported here. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Vectors (records) to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. Namespaces Partitions inside an index; every read and write targets one namespace and vectors across namespaces are isolated. Enumerated with list_namespaces and sized per namespace via describe_index_stats. Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Namespaces to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. Collections Immutable snapshots of a pod-based index that store its data but not its definition; created, listed, and deleted on the control plane and used to recreate a pod-based index. Serverless indexes use Backups instead. Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Collections to Pinecone — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DEAR Inventory and Pinecone

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 Pinecone Sub-second propagation

DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Pinecone through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Pinecone DEAR Inventory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Pinecone for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed.

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.
  • Pinecone: Data-plane operations are capped per second: query, upsert, update, and delete at 100 req/s per namespace, fetch at 100 req/s per index, and list at 200 req/s per index; breaches return HTTP 429. Hard request limits also apply: an upsert is max 2 MB or 1000 records, metadata max 40 KB per record, and query top_k up to 10,000 with a 4 MB result cap.

Pinecone

Integration surface
Two HTTP APIs: a control plane at api.pinecone.io (manage indexes, collections, backups, and, via the Admin API, projects and API keys) and a per-index data plane at the host returned by describe_index (upsert, query, fetch, update, delete, list). A gRPC data-plane transport is available through the official SDKs.
Authentication
API key in the Api-Key request header, scoped to one project; every request also sends an X-Pinecone-Api-Version header (date-based, e.g. 2025-10). The organization Admin API instead uses OAuth2 client-credentials (service accounts) via login.pinecone.io/oauth/token, passing a Bearer token to api.pinecone.io/admin (Enterprise).
Change detection
No webhooks and no native change-data-capture feed. Vectors carry no server-side update timestamp, so Stacksync detects changes by re-reading - paginating vector ids with the list operation (serverless indexes) and fetching by id, or by re-upserting from the source of truth. describe_index_stats bounds a resync with per-namespace counts.
