Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes.
DEAR Systems API Integration Services
DEAR Systems — now Cin7 Core — is a popular inventory and order management platform for Australian eCommerce, wholesale and light manufacturing businesses. It handles products, warehousing, purchasing and fulfilment. But it does not replace your accounting system or your storefront. Those connections need building.
We build custom DEAR Systems integrations that handle what native connectors cannot. Multi-channel inventory sync. Accurate COGS including landed costs. B2B and B2C orders processed with different pricing, terms and account codes. Pick, pack, ship status flowing to customers and 3PLs.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We work with product businesses across Australia — connecting DEAR to Xero, Shopify, Amazon and reporting tools so the numbers match and the operations run smoothly.
What DEAR Systems users tell us
DEAR handles products and orders well. But accounting sync, channel management and reporting create gaps.
DEAR inventory and Xero are always slightly out of sync
DEAR Systems tracks stock movements. Xero tracks money. The two run in parallel but the numbers rarely agree. Month-end means reconciling inventory value between systems manually.
Orders come from everywhere, DEAR processes are manual
Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, B2B emails. Every channel sends orders. Getting them all into DEAR and keeping accounting accurate requires too much manual work.
COGS calculated differently in DEAR and accounting
DEAR has its own COGS calculation. Xero has another. The two do not match because they process stock movements at different times and use different valuation points.
Multi-location stock visibility is fragmented
Stock in your own warehouse, a 3PL, and Amazon FBA. DEAR knows the total. But getting a single view that includes landed costs, in-transit stock and committed stock is a manual job.
Pick, pack and ship data stays in DEAR
Orders picked and packed in DEAR. Tracking numbers generated. But customers, account managers and your 3PL do not see the status unless someone forwards the information.
DEAR became Cin7 Core and things changed
DEAR Systems was acquired and rebranded as Cin7 Core. API endpoints moved. Native integrations behaved differently. What used to work needs rebuilding.

DEAR Systems Integration Workflows
Inventory, orders and financials connected properly for product businesses.
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.
Credit notes for returns and refunds flow back to accounting automatically.
Multi-channel stock level sync
DEAR inventory levels push to Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and B2B portals. Sales on any channel reduce available stock across all channels instantly.
Multi-location support with buffer stock rules. Safety stock thresholds trigger reorder alerts. 3PL and Amazon FBA inventory included.
Prevents overselling on high-velocity product lines.
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.
Three-way matching between PO, goods receipt and supplier invoice.
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.
Weekly and monthly reports automated. No more pulling data from three systems into a spreadsheet.
DEAR sales become invoices automatically
Sales invoiced in DEAR Systems flow to Xero or MYOB. Line items, pricing, discounts and GST mapped correctly. B2B and B2C orders use different account codes and payment terms.
Payment receipts reconcile automatically. Credit notes for returns processed.
Inventory levels right across every channel
Stock in DEAR syncs to Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and B2B portals. A sale on any channel reduces available inventory everywhere. Overselling prevented.

Why HELLO PEOPLE for integrations
We build, not just connect
We write proper integration code — API connections, data mapping, error handling, logging. Not Zapier chains that break quietly.
Fixed-price quoting
You get a clear price before we start. No hourly billing that spirals. No surprise invoices at the end of the month.
Built for Australian business
We understand BAS, GST, super, award rates, Australian privacy law, and the platforms local businesses actually use.
Senior team, direct access
You talk to the people building your integration. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no ticket queues.
Ongoing support included
APIs change. Platforms update. We monitor, maintain, and evolve your integration so it keeps working as your business grows.
We sell through Shopify, Amazon and to wholesale customers. DEAR handles stock well but the native Xero sync was constantly out. HelloPeople 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.

Common questions about DEAR Systems integration
Is DEAR Systems the same as Cin7 Core?
Yes. DEAR Systems was acquired by Cin7 and rebranded as Cin7 Core. We work with both the legacy DEAR API and the newer Cin7 Core API. If you are on DEAR and considering migration, we can help with that too.
DEAR has a built-in Xero sync. Why custom?
The native sync works for straightforward setups. Multi-location, multi-currency, landed costs, BOM assembly and complex pricing tiers break it regularly. Custom integration handles your specific business rules.
How much does a DEAR integration cost?
Fixed price. A standard sales-to-invoice integration runs $5,000 to $16,000. Adding inventory sync, fulfilment and reporting typically brings it to $16,000 to $35,000.
How long does it take?
A single integration takes 3 to 7 weeks. Multi-channel setups with warehouse management typically take 7 to 12 weeks.
Can you connect DEAR to Shopify and Amazon simultaneously?
Yes. Orders from Shopify and Amazon flow into DEAR. Inventory syncs back to both channels. Invoicing and COGS flow to Xero. A very common three-way plus setup.
Do you handle drop-shipping?
Yes. Drop-ship orders in DEAR trigger supplier POs. Supplier shipping confirmations update the order status. Margin tracked separately for drop-ship vs warehouse-fulfilled orders.
