Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Slack
Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Slack and DEAR Inventory.
The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Slack 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 User groups, Files, Reactions, Channels in Slack with Locations, Products, Stock levels, Sale orders 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
- Create or update records in a database when specific messages or reactions occur in a channel
- Alert an operations channel when a data sync detects conflicts or validation failures
- Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
- Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.
Where DEAR Inventory is the HR or people system of record
Worker and organization data from DEAR Inventory stays current in Slack, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.
Master data corrections travel
A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.
Where Slack faces customers and DEAR Inventory carries account records
Order, invoice, or account status from DEAR Inventory appears alongside the customer in Slack, so front-line teams answer from live data.
What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and Slack
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| DEAR Inventory objects | Slack objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. | Threads Replies grouped under a parent message timestamp, preserved when archiving conversations. | |
| Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. | Users Workspace members with profile fields, synced against HR systems and identity providers. | |
| Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. | User groups Handles like @support that map to teams in external systems. | |
| Products SKU records with pricing, suppliers, and bill-of-material links; the master data most syncs start from. | Files Uploads attached to messages, retrievable for archiving. | |
| Stock levels Per-location availability derived from inventory transactions; read-heavy in storefront syncs. | Reactions Emoji responses that can drive workflows, such as approving a synced record. | |
| Sale orders Customer orders through their pick/pack/ship lifecycle; synced with storefronts and CRMs. | Channels Conversations (public, private, DMs) that messages are read from and posted to. |
