What do you like best about Brightpearl?

2. Inventory Planner is a great tool for integrating various marketplaces such as Amazon and Walmart. It also makes it easy for us to bundle various categories by providing them tags which makes it easy to filter out data even before downloading it. It reduces the hassle of dealing with a huge amount of data in an excel file later by filtering out everything in the Inventory Planner itself. We love this software as it’s very easy to use and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

It takes little bit of time to understand the software but once it's done it's easier to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

We are a 2 person operations team managing a multi-thousand SKU catalog. Brightpearl is our centralized source of truth when it comes to inventory and our catalog and integrates directly with our sales channels. We have entirely automated our Order Management process as well. From the time an order is placed, through fulfillment and automation, we don't have a single touch point that requires manual intervention. Ordering new product also takes us 5 minutes now that we have a standardized PO template and process in Brightpearl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

Almost every integration we set up we had to have custom developed. We're used to the Shopify integration model at this point and prefer tech platforms with 1-2 click bespoke integrations that you can then customize to match your business. Brightpearl is an investment to set up properly in terms of time and resources for this reason, but it is ultimately worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brightpearl has reduced almost all manual data entry for us which has significantly cut down on the resources required to manage our brand and has reduced any opportunity for error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there Abigail,

Thank you very much for sparing the time to review us, we love hearing from our customers!

It's amazing to hear that Brightpearl has fully automated your thousands of SKUs, as a team of two I can definitely see why this is necessary! From single order touch-points to simplifying purchases too, it's wonderful to hear that Brightpearl is a great fit for you,

On your comment on custom development, while our integrations do allow out of the box 'plug and play' ability, we also allow our customers to tweak and customize how they work for them as we appreciate that not one size fits all. I'm glad to hear you have been able to find the perfect customization for you!

Thank you again,

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

We've been with Brightpearl (BP) for many years. Before BP we knew our stock very well, but being with BP took us to a whole new level. Having very accurate stock levels, as well as much more efficient ordering, leads to being able to offer a better customer service experience and helps boost turnover.

Joining BP was one of the best business decisions I ever made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

Nothing negative springs to mind. Please do not go down the route of automating support. It is great to be able to actually speak to someone on the very rare occasions that one needs help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stock control is now absolutely accurate. Our ordering process is therefore more efficient. This leads to us offering a better customer experience, as our stock holding is vastly improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really appreciate you affirming that joining us was one of the best business decisions you ever made - we look forward to seeing you go from strength to strength in the years to come!

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

I’ve been using Brightpearl ERP since the mid-2014 at my online store Alisa.ua. It’s a great SAAS ERP for e-commerce that literally changed everything about how we do things and significantly improved our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

I'd like to see better CRM reporting. However, this can be achieved with 3rd party integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brightpearl handles our order management, procurement, and accounting.

It solved our issues with customer orders stuck unattended in some instances. Also, it greatly helps us to creat purchase orders for our 50+ suppliers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there Stanislav,

Thank you so much for your review, we love hearing from our customers - especially those who have been with us for almost 10 years!

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

We use Brightpearl to handle our order and shipment process, and it does this very well. We use their Automation engine heavily to remove a lot of tasks that take humans a long time. We also had a really great Implementation Consultant Nicholas Woodley who made the transition to Brightpearl seamless and pain-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

There's not a lot to dislike. We primarily use the order and shipment management system, and it's very robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Until Brightpearl implementation our order process was highly manual. It was eating up a ton of time by humans when it should have been done by computer. Now that Brightpearl handles all those tasks we can use humans to do things humans should do. It will allow us so scale our online operations easily and with very little extra work load.

Hi Nick,

Thank you very much for your feedback, we love hearing from our customers!

It's great to hear so well Brightpearl is meeting your needs, especially the automating of your ordering and shipping processes.

It's also wonderful to read about your great implementation experience with Nicholas. It's so nice to hear and I'm sure will be really valuable for other e-commerce businesses evaluating us to read too. I'll be sure to pass your comments on to him.

Thank you again,

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

The work flow makes perfect sense with clone sales orders from purchase orders. We have built 2 connecting API'S that work seamlessly and have given us electronic pod's with our drivers. Worth pointing out - we do not sell via any e commerce or website, we are direct distributor to end user companies, I have been in this industry for 40 years and BP works very very well in our space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

I would like BP to eventually adopt the Sage financials, obviously with no additional cost would be ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had created alot of miscx products, which we no longer do and BP advised how to cleanse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there Terry,

It's great to hear that through our open API you've been able to custom-fit Brightpearl to your needs. We designed it just to fit bespoke use cases like yours so it's great to hear that you've tailor-made it to your needs.

On the subject of Sage financials, we have launched our Sage Intacct connector in the US, stay tuned for news on the UK!

What do you like best about Brightpearl?

The easy ability to set up integrations with key channels easily such as Amazon and Shopify. We manage multiple channels and having a single platform to review all customer orders and transactions is a great resource. Of course, this is also great for inventory management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightpearl?

The platform can get quite messy and having integrations with a lot of channels means things can get complicated as not everything is set up the same way. This can be down to the way it is set up on the user end however and perhaps increased knowledge for complex setups would be good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brightpearl:

Ensure you have an in-depth understanding of how Brightpearl is integrated and works with all of your channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightpearl solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing multiple channels at once, having a central place for managing customer orders, and maintaining accurate control of inventory movements and stock levels as we sell in different markets across different channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tom Mullett of Brightpearl
(Original )

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your review, we love hearing from our customers!

I'm really pleased to hear that you found it so simple to set up your sales channels across all your markets on Brightpearl, and that you're finding order and inventory management easy too.

Picking up on your point on all your channels feeling messy, we can definitely help you organize these - I can't see your details on here for us to follow-up with you directly, so please reach out to our support team and we'll get them organized for you.

Thank you again,

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any dislikes. I have some feature requests which I have shared with Brightpearl and they are working on including batch traceability. I also would love fractional units of measurement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
