Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Postgres Heroku

Give your engineers DEAR Inventory's data in Postgres Heroku: 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 Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku sync back into DEAR Inventory with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.
  • Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with the accounting system for accrual accuracy.

React to ERP changes

Updates in DEAR Inventory arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where DEAR Inventory is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems
