Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and TimescaleDB

Give your engineers DEAR Inventory's data in TimescaleDB: 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 Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products, Stock levels from DEAR Inventory into TimescaleDB 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 TimescaleDB sync back into DEAR Inventory with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.
  • Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
  • 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.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the DEAR Inventory interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in DEAR Inventory arrive as row changes in TimescaleDB, 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

Worker and org records stay current in TimescaleDB for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory and TimescaleDB

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 TimescaleDB objects
Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Products SKU records with pricing, suppliers, and bill-of-material links; the master data most syncs start from. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
