    Started using Brightpearl a little over a year ago and have been delighted with it! We were long standing Shopify users, so really wanted an accounts and combined inventory management solution which would integrate seemlessly with Shopify. Brightpearl was the solution, the only solution we found which covered accounts and inventory!

    Pros

    It has freed up lots of our time, streamlining many of our previously laborious admin processes. Cant imagine running our business without this tool now!

    Cons

    The set up is honestly quite daunting, the software also took some getting used to. However, the email support provided by Brightpearl was exceptional and fast and before long (1-2 months) we were using Brightpearl very happily.

    An intelligent platform that allows the business to report and develop it's strengths and weaknesses. As well as manage stock, customer orders and build information for the business. The features available suit a variety of business needs and the go to customer service and support system is vital.

    Pros

    The abilities and reporting involved with controlling stock and orders

    Cons

    We have maxed Brightpearl's abilities, but due to their expansive resources we are looking into their other analytics service to fulfill our requirements.

    Response from Sage

    Hi Ellie,

    Thank you so much for sparing the time to review us.

    It's great to hear that you've been able to get such insights to help your growth!

    Our entry level reporting is sufficient for some of our brands, but we acknowledged that some need more power and granularity which is why we have developed our analytics suite to meet this need. It sounds like you'd be a great fit for it.

    Thanks again,
    Tom (Brightpearl)

    Mixed Bag with Areas of Opportunity

    Reviewed on 10/1/2018

    It's nice to have all your records in one place, but being able to make meaningful use of said data...

    It's nice to have all your records in one place, but being able to make meaningful use of said data is a large area of opportunity, and it can be done with some substantial elbow grease.

    It's good for smaller companies, but larger companies would be better with different ERP solutions.

    Pros

    BP has made some improvements in key areas, such as the removal of purchasing of user slots. (e.g. if you had 10 users, only 4 could sign in at any one time).

    But there are still areas of opportunity, in terms of better facilitation of accounting, order, and inventory control.

    That said, it is probably still the most economical, if you want to really put in some elbow grease vs. other ERPs.

    Cons

    Needs substantial improvements in reporting inventory and accurately pulling proper reports for tax accounting and other accounting, as well as aiding in projecting units to order per quarter/season. Basic functionality is fine, but could also be improved, as much of the panel is very Web 1.5. Really meant for smaller companies, and not larger complex ones.

    Response from Sage

    Hi there,

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're always pleased to get feedback from one of our customers. I'm pleased you're enjoying our updates to the platform. We're always looking to improve and feedback from users such as yourself is invaluable in assessing this.

    Regarding your comment on Brightpearl being primarily suited to smaller companies, many of our customers are large businesses who have grown on Brightpearl and find our platform scales with them. Others join us as such as are impressed with the flexibility.

    We would really like to explore the areas for development you mention. I would recommend dropping an email to your Customer Success Manager and we can get the ball rolling.

    Thank you again.

    Great software

    Reviewed on 28/4/2021

    Pros

    Stock control is the most impactful and helpful

    Cons

    The add ons which are required such as automation

    Response from Sage

    Hi Nicky,

    Thank you for your review of us, we really appreciate it.

    It's fantastic to hear that you're finding so much value in our stock management functionality.

    On the add-ons, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn't work for everyone so with us, you can pick and choose the tech stack that fits best for you. We think that this is the right approach rather than mandating what our customers use. I hope this makes sense?

    Thank you again, for the review.
