Why teams connect Close and DEAR Inventory
Close the gap between front office and back office: Close and DEAR Inventory share customers and status in real time, in both directions.
Close 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 Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, Activities in Close 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

- Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
