Use Cases

Works with the tools
you already use.

Dream MRP connects to your accounting system or ecommerce store and turns the data you already have into a manufacturing plan.

Integration / Xero

Dream MRP
with Xero.

The deepest integration Dream MRP offers. Xero users get full read and write access — inventory, sales orders, purchase orders, and contacts all flow in, and approved purchase orders post back automatically.

If you run manufacturing and use Xero, this is the most hands-free setup available.

sync
Automatic data sync

Items, stock quantities, open purchase orders, and sales orders sync from Xero in the background. Your MRP always works from current data.

write-back
Purchase order write-back

Approve a planned purchase order in Dream MRP and it’s created in Xero immediately. No copy-paste, no re-entry.

stock
Stock adjustments

When a work order completes, Dream MRP posts a stock adjustment to Xero for the finished goods produced and the components consumed.

multi-org
Multiple organisations

Connect multiple Xero organisations under one Dream MRP account. Each organisation is fully isolated with its own plan and data.

Best for: Manufacturers and distributors already running Xero who want MRP without switching accounting software.

Integration / QuickBooks

Dream MRP
with QuickBooks.

QuickBooks Online users can connect Dream MRP for full read access — items, inventory quantities, and sales data flow in automatically and drive your MRP calculations.

Write-back (posting purchase orders to QuickBooks) is in development. Current users can export approved orders and enter them manually.

items
Item catalogue sync

All inventory items from QuickBooks sync into Dream MRP with current stock quantities and item codes.

sales
Sales order demand

Open sales orders and estimates flow from QuickBooks Online and drive the demand signal in your MRP run.

bom
Bills of Materials

Build your BOMs directly in Dream MRP using QuickBooks item codes. CSV import lets you migrate from a spreadsheet in minutes.

plan
Full MRP plan

Run the complete MRP calculation, review planned purchase and work orders, and export for entry back into QuickBooks.

Best for: North American manufacturers on QuickBooks Online who want structured MRP planning without switching to a full ERP system.

Integration / Shopify

Dream MRP
with Shopify.

Connect your Shopify store so that customer orders become the demand signal driving your material requirements. Dream MRP reads open Shopify orders and converts them into MRP demand — no accounting system required for the demand side.

Combine Shopify orders with Xero or QuickBooks for a complete picture of demand from all channels.

orders
Store orders as demand

Open Shopify orders are the demand signal. Dream MRP translates product SKUs into component requirements via your BOM.

combined
Multi-channel demand

Running both Shopify and Xero? Dream MRP consolidates demand from both channels into a single MRP run.

sync
Automatic order sync

New orders in Shopify appear in Dream MRP within minutes. On Premium plans, a new order triggers an MRP run automatically.

items
Shopify SKU mapping

Shopify product variants map to Dream MRP items by SKU. Add BOMs to your Shopify products and Dream MRP handles the rest.

Best for: D2C manufacturers selling on Shopify who need to plan production and purchasing from live store demand.

Integration / API

Custom &
enterprise setups.

Not on Xero, QuickBooks, or Shopify? The Dream MRP REST API lets you push items, inventory quantities, and sales orders from any system — custom ERP, in-house database, or third-party platform.
