Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Smartsheet

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Smartsheet 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Rows, Columns, Cells, Reports in Smartsheet with Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production 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 Write records from a CRM or ERP into Smartsheet Rows so ops teams manage intake and status in a grid, then push status Cells back to the source.
  • 02 Pull Reports and Sheets into a warehouse for cross-project reporting and dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 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

Where Smartsheet faces customers and DEAR Inventory carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from DEAR Inventory appears alongside the customer in Smartsheet, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where DEAR Inventory is the HR or people system of record

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

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and Smartsheet

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.

Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Purchase orders is specific to DEAR Inventory and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Customers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
