Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Zoho CRM

Close the gap between front office and back office: Zoho CRM and DEAR Inventory share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Zoho CRM holds the customer relationship; DEAR Inventory runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Quote, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoice in Zoho CRM with Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products, Stock levels in DEAR Inventory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push warehouse-computed lead scores and product signals into Zoho CRM fields for rep prioritization.
  • 02 Keep Zoho CRM accounts aligned with an ERP or accounting system on customers and invoices.
  • 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 DEAR Inventory is the finance system of record: money status on the account

Invoice and payment state from DEAR Inventory shows on the account in Zoho CRM, so reps see balances before promising the next order.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where DEAR Inventory manages people and org data: keep Zoho CRM aligned

Owners, territories, and org structure informed by DEAR Inventory stay current in Zoho CRM.
