The retail operations platform for brands and retailers
4.3/5 (80 avaliações)Brightpearl is a Retail Operations Platform. Tightly integrated to all of your sales channels, Brightpearl connects your sales orders, fulfillment, inventory management, accounting, reporting and planning, warehouse management, replenishment and more. Designed specifically for retail business models, Brightpearl is built to reliably handle peak trading, integrates with the full retail tech ecosystem, is omnichannel-native, is the system of record for key trading data, provides real-time trading insights and is automated so you can stay in control and manage by exception.
What makes Brightpearl different:
Software and Service. Service is an integral part of our offer. Our retail consultants get you live in three times faster than traditional ERP, always for a fixed cost. And the in-house team stays with you throughout, from tech support to ongoing business consulting.
Built for Retail. Brightpearl is built only for the retail sector. This means: configuration not coding, designed for use by merchants not IT staff, every new feature is relevant, and our integrations and ecosystem are 100% retail.
Designed to Scale With You. Whether it’s seasonal peaks, promotions or sustained growth, merchants need an ops platform that can handle the volume. We stand by our numbers: orders, SKUs, channels, reporting and financials fit for multi-million dollar merchants.
Vantagens
the simple EPOS systems linked into the core of the system in real time. You have to do things by the book and can't cut corners in processes.

As a business, we have been using Brightpearl for a few years now and have had an incredibly positive experience. On the customer service level - both in person and online - we have had an incredibly effective and personable response rate, especially of recent, which has made our usage a whole lot easier. We have therefore learnt a lot more about our business and its direct Brightpearl relationship, giving us more insight into weaknesses, improvements and areas of strength. High praise to the financial side of Brightpearl as this is easy to use and navigate. We are looking forward to our close working relationship in the future as we are expanding our business and therefore constantly looking to refining our Brightpearl usage.
Vantagens
Effective software, enabling access of the entire company to view and work as a team to work as a chain from start to finish in different parts of the UK in order to complete the entire part of the supply chain. Therefore leading to effective business management.
Desvantagens
Uninformed from the beginning about certain aspects (not down to Brightpearl directly) and therefore the small team need enlightening and training regarding certain elements that can be so easily taught and answers. Because Brightpearl can do so much, there is just so much to learn that perhaps we are not taking advantage of as a business.
Vantagens
What I like about this software is that it has centralized system, we do not need to log in into several accounts with our partners' channels. This system is more efficient compared to others because it requires less operation from the ordering of goods to supplier up to the delivery to the stores. Our items reach the stores with less lead time. It will really help to reduce/eliminate stock outs and opportunity loss.
Desvantagens
One thing which I think this system needs to improve is about the report/data it generates. We, as an Inventory Analyst, we rely so much to the data that the system is giving us, for us to do our function and data analysis.
Hi Loreto,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review us. Direct, honest feedback is very important to us. I'm really pleased that you find Brightpearl to be a big help and you like the centralised approach. Having everything under one roof is core to what we do and will keep doing. I'm also really pleased to hear that it's helped with reducing your lead times - our automation was built to do that and it's great to hear individual cases when that fruit comes to bear. Thank you for your feedback on our reporting. It's been a point of focus for us and I'm pleased to say that we've improved the capabilities of several of our report in our suite and will continue to do so. To catch up with our latest improvements, be sure to stay tuned to our release notes: https://help.brightpearl.com/hc/en-us/categories/201499746-Release-Notes-Notifications.
Thank you again,
Tom

Vantagens
Brightpearl have an active online presence, their help documents are constantly revised, revisited and updated, and their online community is second to none. In addition to this, being part of their "Gold Support" program allows us virtually immediate access to help should we encounter a problem.
Desvantagens
For me the logical functioning of the product, and its integration possibilities [many of which are included "out-the-box"]. When we converted to Brightpearl 12 months ago I was incredibly sceptical and concerned about the steep learning curve of getting myself and my staff up to speed with the functions and features of the program. Knowing the "day-to-day" functions of a program are one thing, but with a piece of software like this you really want to know it in depth to ensure that you are getting the most out of its functionality and capability. With the help of their staff and the logical layout and functioning of the software we were quickly able to leverage its features, and day by day we learn more and more that ensures we are using it to its full potential. Its this logical method that makes the software so powerful, and the fact that the support staff are engaged and able to assist backs this up superbly.
We have used Brightpearl for nearly four years now. It was probably more than we needed initially but we decided it was worth the investment to carry us through early business growth. It was, and from set-up it has been the backbone to an 8x increase in turnover.
As a distributor, our large wholesale orders (hundreds of lines) sometimes test the capacity but that has been continually improved. Having the API and being able to integrate with Manifest for taking orders online was a huge efficiency for us, and are now looking forward to a possible integration with a barcode system.
In general support have always been very efficient. We have never had to leave any issue or request 'unsolved' which is good to say after four years, and I have appreciated that support tickets get escalated promptly where necessary to get to a practical solution quite quickly.
Vantagens
Very comprehensive
Desvantagens
Sometimes feel it's geared towards ecommerce more than wholesale

Brightpearl is a multichannel retail management software that covers orders, inventory, accounting, customer data, purchasing, shipping, and reporting in a single cloud-based platform. It provides staff and management comprehensive visibility into vital business information to effectively and efficiently accomplish their tasks, accelerating profitability and growth in the process. Real-time reports include cash flow, inventory, customer purchasing behavior, profitability by channel and SKU, among others.
Instead of managing sales from every channel your business is tapping into (e.g., online shop, retail outlet, eBay, Amazon, and others), manually updating inventory information for every item you sell and purchase, hence, the possibility of human error, transferring sales and accounts payable data into your accounting system, analyzing the speed at which you sell items, and other related activities that usually require their own spreadsheets, with Brightpearl, all purchase, sales, supplier and customer information are kept in a single data depository, allowing you comprehensive at-a-glance insight into the health of your retail business through real-time reporting.
Some of Brightpearl’s core features include order management, inventory management, shipping management, online payments integration and automated real-time accounting.
Brightpearl is a commerce acceleration platform that simplifies the retail lifecycle in one integrated web-based solution, beginning with orders all the way to customer management and growing the business. Because it’s an all-in-one retail system, it saves retailers valuable time and energy normally spent on double entries, numbers consolidation, and other procedures that need to be redone because of things here and there that slip through the cracks. This then lets them focus more on the value-adding aspects of their businesses, such as furthering their customer service initiatives.
Brightpearl takes the edge off tedious order, inventory, shipping, purchasing and accounting information management across multiple retail channels and locations by bringing relevant information together in a centralized back-office hub. With its built-in accounting system, transactions are automatically entered into accounts, and real-time reports are generated with just a few clicks. Cloud-based, it can be accessed anywhere, anytime and across multiple devices.
Whenever a customer places an order, a series of events is triggered. While they can also be manually created, with Brightpearl’s ready-made integrations with e-commerce portals like Magento and Shopify, orders can be automatically downloaded. Inventory levels are subsequently decreased, not just on the channel the order is made, but all other sales channels as well, eliminating the possibility of selling the same item twice and dealing with problems later.
Brightpearl’s order management system not only ensures data accuracy and consistency, it also allows retailers to systematize their order fulfillment strategies and optimize stock levels through filters such as shipping method, order date, sales channel, and others. This way, retailers are immediately aware what products/brands are better suited for what channels, and what improvement initiatives can be rolled out to increase sales and improve customer satisfaction.
Inventory replenishment with Brightpearl starts with just a few clicks. An email is sent to the supplier, and once delivered, the purchase order is marked as received and inventory levels in the sales channels are automatically increased. Because information is centralized, it’s easy to spot which entity you owe money to and how much, including the date the amount is due.
Brightpearl simplifies the usually complex inventory management processes required of a growing business. Aside from automatically increasing or decreasing inventory levels in your various sales channels, depending on whether items have been received from a supplier or sold to a customer, you are afforded the ability to generate cash flow reports and comprehensive inventory audit trails in real time.
Order information, which includes shipping address and location, are automatically downloaded to your warehouses, empowering retailers to accurately and speedily deliver orders to customers. When an order is drop-shipped from a supplier or fulfilled via your own warehouse, tracking references are emailed to customers using pre-built email templates and transmitted back to your sales channels. Once shipped, the cost of inventory is entered into Brightpearl’s accounting system, giving you an instantaneous view of the profit amount you’ve made.
The shipping management software affords you full control over what and how you ship – partial order fulfillment versus drop-shipping, and order prioritization based on shipping method, order date or customer. For more automation and customization, Brightpearl integrates with e-commerce shipping fulfillment platforms like Shipworks, [Shipstation] (http://www.getapp.com/shipstation-application) and [Metapack] (http://www.getapp.com/metapack-application).
To further simplify the customer purchasing experience, Brightpearl can be integrated with payment gateways such as PayPal and SagePay. PayPal links with Brightpearl in two ways: as a payment method and to download transactions. When payment processing with PayPal is set up, customers can opt to pay through PayPal via your website. Brightpearl automatically records all PayPal payments received online. Transaction details can then be viewed via the PayPal log and synchronized with Brightpearl using the PayPal transaction download integration feature.
SagePay, on the other hand, can be used to make online payments via the Brightpearl site (SagePay form) or through back-office payments (SagePay direct), also known as Mail Order/Telephone Order or MOTO. This means that customers can make payments over the phone, for one. For Magento users, SagePay payment setup is done in Magento.
Brightpearl includes a full accounting system that allows users to keep track of the items they’re selling day to day, which channels are making money, which items are selling well, and such. Profits can be analyzed by channel, customer or SKU, empowering retailers to invest their money intelligently on better-performing products and channels.
The system provides in-depth and up-to-date reports that your accountant can also access to make updates and adjustments. Data can be exported as CSV, and Brightpearl’s support team provides 24/7 email support, documentations, a video library, and launch and acceleration services to help you and your staff with the training you’ll need to get started.
Brightpearl readily integrates with 47 apps that include [eBay] (http://www.getapp.com/blog/ebay-management-software/), [Magento] (http://www.getapp.com/magento-application-1), Amazon, Brightpearl POS, [Shopify] (http://www.getapp.com/shopify-application), [Bigcommerce] (http://www.getapp.com/bigcommerce-application), Authorize.net, UK Mail, [Square] (http://www.getapp.com/square-application), and [PayPal] (http://www.getapp.com/paypal-application).

We have been using brightpearl for several years now and the core function of the system has been to centralise around the accounts and stock management for our business. This means it's super easy to keep control of the business critical systems. The system has grown and expanded and as a small business I don't need a lot of this but it's there incase.
The most important thing we have found is the super easy simple Brightpearl POS solution that is sharing the same core data for products/customers/payments as our website and accounts in real time so if the last item sells online then we don't over sell this in store at the weekend. We have two small showrooms and can have two separate pos channels that make it easy to deal with customers in store and telephone orders in the main program. Push sales from POS to backend and vice versa. It makes us more efficient and look more professional in store and on the phone.
Even as a small business we have constantly changing stock and a large number of products (over 11,000) so need control of those as simply as possible. Brightpearl has done that for us along with accounts functionality.
I hope as brightpearl expands it can keep true to it's roots of supporting small businesses with a system that would normally only be available to big business with big budgets. The core simple EPOS is just perfect for us with multichannel order routes to the dispatch desk.
