Very expensive for little gain

Previously 4

Just too many things that BRightpearl doesn't do. Its website claimed that you could list directly from Brightpearl onto eBay but it turned out to be untrue as Brightpearl didn't support eBay Postage Policies (That's eBayspeak for shipping tables). Nor could it list directly to any of the Amazon websites, nor to Shopify or anywhere else. Yet other software can do all of that, and has Google Translate Professional built in so that you can list directly to Amazon Poland without you having to employ a translator. So Brightpearl just falls flat on its face in far too many areas compared to the competition. The worst thing is trying to leave. I am leaving and would like to keep read only access for a year to make it easy to check any warranty claims. Brightpearl have quoted £10,080 for that when full acess costs me less than half of that. So if you are considering BRightpearl, keep looking, there are much better deals available.

Pros:

The only thing that I really like about this software is that they have good support staff. I was initially attracted to Brightpearl because it included integrated accounts. It has taken me 6 years to realise that this was a false way of thinking as there is other software that integrates seamlessly with reasonably-priced good quality accounting software like Xero, Quickbooks and Sage. Essentially with Brightpearl you are paying a high price for an accounting system that is used by a relatively small number of users (online it says Brightpearl has about 1,000 users - that is a very small number to finance a piece of accounting software. Eventually I realised how much it was missing in other areas.

Cons:

The biggest drawback with Brightpearl is the small number of marketplaces it support compared to many of its competitors. They claim to integrate with Amazon, but this is only partially true. Amazon Europe have added 3 new marketplaces but BRightpearl have ingnored them where similar software providers have integrations at no extra cost. Brightpearl haven't added a single marketplace integration in 6 years, and the only one planned, OnBuy, a small marketplace unlikely to generate much revenue, comes at an extra cost. When I started with Brightpearl they were advertising it as the software to automate your online selling, but it was very limited as far as automation was concerned. After a couple of years they launched the Brightpearl Automation App. Funny that you should need an additional app, at extra cost, to do what the software was promising to do 2 years earlier. many things come at extra cost with Brightpearl but are available at no extra cost with other software. Brightpearl doesn't calculate VAT correctly. If you get an order from the Channel Islands, Brightpearl will add 20% VAT even though there is no VAT in th Channel Islands. (it does the same with the Canary Islands which also are not subject to VAT. It would be simply to write a filter to catch these and put correct 0 VAT on them, but they just don't seem to care if their customers are paying the tax men a bit more than they should be.

Pros:

Brightpearl has been our accounting and source of truth since 2021. We moved to the system from a larger ERP system due to its versatility, accounting capabilities and its ability to connect easily to other systems. We have found that those capabilities are still very useful today and as we change and grow as a company, we find that Brightpearl is able to accommodate those changes fluidly. In addition, Brightpearl allows the user to modify its system to accommodate its own needs through automation and system configuration. Moreover, we have been lucky to have been paired with a really great Account Manager and Technical Support manager who keep our partnership with Brightpearl running smoothly. A bonus is that the same team members have been with us basically since our start! Lastly, there is an ease to customer support as we you can enter a ticket, which is generally answered the same day if not within hours of receipt or you are able to call the service team and get a response immediately.

Cons:

We have a few cons but one of them is that as a B2B and B2C seller, we have found that our reporting needs are not always met. A more robust reporting system found within the native integration and without having to connect with another system would be preferable - specifically, low stock reporting and year over year reporting could be more robust!

This is valuable input for our product teams as we work to strengthen our native reporting capabilities.

Easy to Use, but Room for Improvement

Again, easy to use so has been an easy transition to using this as our ERP platform. With a lean time with no IT team, it's been a relatively low lift. Working with [sensitive content hidden] has been great, and my experience with Arafatul at BSITC has been great as well.

Pros:

It's pretty easy to use, overall. It's easy to figure out for a new user, with relatively easy navigation.

Cons:

Reporting is hands down the #1 downfall. Some extremely critical reports are missing that I imagine EVERY single company would need. There should be a way to build your own report, based on all fields available within BP. That HAS to be a possibility, especially with AI these days - should mimic the Shopify reporting tool at baseline. BP is also not great for a company where data management has to be extremely streamlined and uniform. Not conducive to a company growing in size where every single detail matters and accuracy is important. It'd also be helpful to have a customer service/support chat, instead of having to submit a ticket for every small question (which then gets lost in my emails). To have access to a chat, I'd get my answers a lot quicker when I need them answered quickly. Automation rules are also complicated and difficult to figure out a lot of times - requires a lot of trial and error, which can cause problems.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that Brightpearl has been easy for your team to adopt and that your experience with our onboarding and partner teams has been positive. We also really appreciate your transparency around reporting, automation rules, and support options. Your points are valid, and these are areas we continue to invest in as we modernize the platform and expand flexibility for growing businesses. Feedback like yours directly informs those efforts. If you’d be open to it, we’d welcome the chance to learn more about the specific reporting gaps and workflow challenges you’re facing so we can route them to the right product teams. We're here to help ensure Brightpearl continues to meet your needs as you scale.

Pros:

Brightpearl has improved our productivity and efficiency throughout the company. The automations and integrations have streamlined lots of our order processing processes. We have various sales channels and marketplaces we sell on and Brightpearl integrates with them, reducing hugely our labour hours. The integrated accounting system is also a great plus, as it means we do not need a seperate system for this. It makes VAT returns and bank reconciliations really straightforward. It can feel quite expensive, but we definitly feel we get value for money and it pays for itself in efficiency savings.

Cons:

I would like a more powerful template builder and a native etsy integration. Would also like a more straightforward 2 factor authentication for security, which I feel is essential for a software like this.

Reasons for switching to Brightpearl

The old system was cumbersome and slow. We wanted a system that did everything and we were adding marketplaces.

Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of Brightpearl. We're thrilled to hear it's helping boost productivity and making tasks like VAT returns and bank reconciliations easier. We appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement as well.

Reliable, Accurate Inventory System That Supports Both Retail & Manufacturing

We have been using Brightpearl since 2018 and overall we are very happy with it. It is stable, dependable, and well suited to a business like ours that wanted a strong off-the-shelf solution rather than investing in a custom-built system. Despite not being designed specifically for manufacturing, we have found practical workarounds that allow us to manage both sides of our business effectively. Brightpearl has become a core part of our operations, and it continues to support our growth with accurate stock control and clear, well-structured accounting and customer management.

Brightpearl keeps our inventory consistently accurate and gives us full confidence in our stock levels. The system is very strong for customer management, product organisation, and overall operational visibility. It connects purchasing, inventory, fulfilment, and accounts seamlessly, which makes daily work efficient. Even though we handle both ready-made products and our own manufactured goods, Brightpearl has been flexible enough to support our processes with effective workarounds.

Cons:

The only drawback is that upgrades and new feature rollouts can be slow. While the system is reliable, we would love to see faster development and more frequent enhancements. However, the existing features work well for our needs.

Cons:

The main downside of Brightpearl is the initial setup and learning curve, which can be time-consuming and requires careful planning. Some workflows feel less flexible than expected, and making changes often requires support or workarounds rather than quick adjustments.
