Why teams connect Airtable and DEAR Inventory

Give your engineers DEAR Inventory's data in Airtable: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Sale orders, Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers from DEAR Inventory into Airtable and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever DEAR Inventory is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Airtable sync back into DEAR Inventory with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Push CRM accounts and deals into an Airtable base so operations teams can manage pipelines and enrichment without CRM licenses.
  • Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.
  • Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
