What an integration actually is

DEAR has the stock count, sales and accounts do not

Inventory only works if every system agrees on what is on hand. The moment stock is counted in one place and sold in another, you are choosing between overselling and holding stock you do not need.

What you already run

What we build

One integration layer

Runs on a schedule, maps your codes to theirs, handles the records that exist in both places, and keeps a log of every sync so a mismatch can be traced instead of argued about.

What you get

  • Stock levels agree across sales channels, warehouse and accounts
  • Purchase orders and receipts post without a second entry
  • Cost of goods reconciles instead of being estimated
What We Build

Every order, stock move and cost in step

Sales-to-invoice, dear inventory integration across channels, purchase orders, pick-pack-ship and cross-system reporting. Pick a tab to see how each dear to xero integration and multi-channel sync actually runs.

DEAR sales to accounting invoices

Sales completed in DEAR Systems create invoices in Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Products matched to line items with correct pricing, discounts and GST.

Wholesale orders with trade pricing and payment terms handled separately from retail. Multi-currency supported for international sales.

Multi-location support with buffer stock rules. Safety stock thresholds trigger reorder alerts. 3PL and Amazon FBA inventory included.

PO and supplier sync

Purchase orders in DEAR flow to accounting as bills. Goods received updates bill status. Landed costs allocated to inventory items.

Supplier lead times inform reorder points. Auto-PO suggestions from DEAR based on stock levels connected to accounting cash flow.

Pick, pack, ship and tracking sync

Orders picked and packed in DEAR. Carrier labels generated. Tracking numbers pushed to Shopify customer order pages, email notifications and 3PL partner systems.

Shipping costs allocated to orders for profitability analysis. Delivery status visible across systems.

Cross-system product business reporting

DEAR inventory data combined with Shopify sales and Xero financials in Power BI. Stock turn by product. Channel profitability. Purchasing forecast. Cash in inventory.

Case Study

ERP migration with a parallel-run cutover and zero downtime

A wholesale distributor moved off a legacy ERP onto a modern platform without losing a day of trading. We ran both systems in parallel for the cutover window, validated every record by reconciling the two outputs, and switched the source of truth once finance signed off.

0 Days of operational downtime
12yr Of historical data migrated cleanly
100% Trial-balance match on cutover
14wk Discovery to cutover

We sell through Shopify, Amazon and to wholesale customers. DEAR handled stock well but the native Xero sync was constantly out. HELLO PEOPLE rebuilt the integration from scratch, invoices are accurate, COGS is right, and month-end close is now a Monday morning job instead of a week-long ordeal.

How It Works

How a DEAR project runs, first call to go live

Six steps, the same shape every time. Discovery, data mapping, build against the DEAR / Cin7 Core API, testing with real orders and stock adjustments, controlled go-live, then ongoing support as your channels and BOMs evolve.

  1. Discovery & DEAR Audit

    We review your DEAR Systems setup: products, warehouses, sales channels and the accounting and eCommerce systems that need connecting.

  2. Data Mapping

    Products to invoice lines. Warehouses to tracking categories. Channel-specific pricing to account codes. Supplier terms to bill records.

  3. Build

    Integration built using the DEAR Systems / Cin7 Core API. Proper authentication, rate limiting, and error handling included.

  4. Testing

    Full testing with real order data. Multi-channel orders, stock adjustments, returns and edge cases validated.

  5. Go-Live

    Live launch with monitoring. Historical data migration if switching from another system.

  6. Ongoing Support

    API changes, new channels, warehouse relocations. We keep integrations running as your business evolves.

How it runs today

Nobody outside DEAR trusts its stock numbers

  • Stock is sold online that has already left the warehouse
  • Purchase orders are entered in DEAR Systems and again in accounting
  • Cost of goods is an estimate until stocktake corrects it
  • Reordering is based on a number nobody quite trusts

After

Every system reads the same stock count

  • One stock figure, honest across every channel
  • Purchase orders and receipts post once and appear everywhere
  • Cost of goods reconciles as it moves
  • Reorder points based on figures you can act on

Scoped and quoted before you commit. You own the code and the credentials at the end of it.

FAQs

What people ask about DEAR Systems

Which DEAR Systems partners and add-ons do you work with?

Third party and external system integration for DEAR Systems usually means one of these: Zoho CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Shopify, WooCommerce, Cin7, Xero and MYOB. Most of it comes down to stock and order data. We link DEAR Systems to any of them, in either direction. Also written Cin7 Core. If your second system is not listed, ask. The work is the same shape against most APIs, and we will tell you when it is not.

What do dear systems integration services actually cover?

A properly built dear inventory api integration between DEAR (Cin7 Core) and your accounting, eCommerce, POS, marketplaces and reporting. Sales become invoices, stock stays accurate across every channel, COGS lands right, and BOM production runs and landed costs flow into the ledger. Perth-based, delivered across Australia.

Is DEAR Systems the same as Cin7 Core?

Yes. DEAR Systems was acquired by Cin7 and rebranded as Cin7 Core. Our dear systems integration australia work covers both the legacy DEAR API and the newer Cin7 Core API. If you are on DEAR and considering migration, we help with that too.

DEAR has a built-in Xero sync. Why do I need a custom dear to xero integration?

The native sync works for straightforward setups. Multi-location, multi-currency, landed costs, BOM assembly and complex pricing tiers break it regularly. A custom dear to xero integration handles your specific business rules cleanly and keeps the numbers reconciling every month.

How much do custom dear integration services cost?

It depends on the systems involved, the data volume and the exception cases. You get a fixed-price quote after a 15-minute scoping call. No hourly billing, no scope creep once we start.

How long does a dear inventory integration take?

A single connector runs 3 to 7 weeks. Multi-channel setups with warehouse allocation, 3PL and BOM assembly typically run 7 to 12 weeks, delivered in phases so sales-to-invoice goes live before the full stack is done.

Can you connect DEAR to Shopify and Amazon at the same time?

Yes. Orders from Shopify and Amazon flow into DEAR, inventory syncs back to both channels, invoicing and COGS flow to Xero. Very common three-way-plus setup for Australian product businesses.

Do you handle drop-shipping through dear systems integration services?

Yes. Drop-ship orders in DEAR trigger supplier POs, supplier shipping confirmations update order status, and margin is tracked separately for drop-ship versus warehouse-fulfilled orders.

Share your sales channels, warehouse locations, accounting system and where stock or COGS still cause manual work. We will come back with a clear plan and a fixed price for your dear systems integration services project.
