Why teams connect Customer.io and DEAR Inventory

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Customer.io 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 People, Objects, Events, Segments in Customer.io with Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers, Stock adjustments and transfers 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

  • Keep unsubscribe and subscription-preference state consistent between Customer.io and the CRM to avoid compliance gaps.
  • Sync account-level objects and their person relationships for B2B messaging keyed to company attributes.
  • Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
  • Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.

Payment events sync into DEAR Inventory as they occur, keeping the enterprise records current without manual entry.

Where DEAR Inventory is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from DEAR Inventory stays current in Customer.io, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
