Why Connect DEAR Inventory to Reckon?

No single source of truth when products live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

DEAR Inventory limitations compound the integration challenge: reporting customisation is limited compared to dedicated BI tools, and some businesses need to export data for deeper analysis

Product and pricing data diverges between DEAR Inventory and Reckon, causing order errors and customer complaints

Online orders in DEAR Inventory and in-store inventory in Reckon are never in sync, frustrating customers

Production order data in DEAR Inventory and inventory levels in Reckon are reconciled manually, risking stock-outs

Manually copying data between DEAR Inventory and Reckon wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Reckon adds complexity: the cloud platform (Reckon One) has a smaller third-party integration ecosystem than Xero, limiting connectivity with modern SaaS tools

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep DEAR Inventory and Reckon aligned
