Anything not covered can be bolted on either by pre-built integrations or by API. > > **Cons**: The accounting module is OK but feels complicated and could do with modernisation. Not a major complaint. > > I have used Brightpearl for many years and have no plans on changing. It does most things and if you put the effort in to customising it by integration with other services it will do everything. ----- ### "Great platform for big warehouse fulfilment, SME's will grow into." — 4.0/5 > **Dinesh** | *15 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: We migrated onto BP in August and have been live coming on 12 months, the scoping calls were very extensive and our processes were well documented. We wanted to migrate all our sales data from our old system to BP which was a massive task in data formating and cleansing on our part. Post go live we had alot of moving parts feeding into BP and on the whole this seemed to work okay, although during our peak trading season we did find ourselves with displaced stock or not accurate stock holding - this was due mainly to users not being familiar with the auto transfer / stock allocation process. Since go live there has been constant monitoring of sales transaction and stock movement to ensure things are working as expected. Brightpeal is a technical system and sometimes feels overly complicated but I think this is due to it being aimed at big warehouse type businesses where there would be multiple people working in different area's of the fulfilment processs - this makes the process very long winded when we are talking about a single person doing the picking packing and shipping. the many integrations between all the POS, Shipping platforms do require regular maintenance and this in itself become quite complicated. > > **Cons**: Support ticketing is not the greatest, I have raised a few issues and found myself having to continuely repeat what the problem is forwarding screen shots and clips of what I am talking about before anything is acknowleged as being a problem and addressed. Our initial renewal conversation started with a senior manager who left on sabbatical mid renewal with no advance warning, other than an out of office reply. whole renewal processes felt onesided no formal account review of past 12 months to look at number of transactions what modules have been succesful and what hasnt quite worked. Given our renewal quote literally a couple of days before 30 day notice cut off to make any changes to our contract so no time to absorb this information and speak to account manager. > > Overall experiance, sales and scoping team, training team calls migration go live team all brilliant, post go live support not so reactive and not easily able to just speak to someone. Due to this we have taken on external 3rd party to help with day to day troubleshooting ----- ### "Misleading Sales Promises and Poor Product Performance" — 1.0/5 > **Robert** | *08 October 2025* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The concept of having one unified platform to manage inventory, orders, and sales across multiple channels sounded great in theory. The interface is fairly modern and intuitive, and the idea of connecting Brightpearl with BigCommerce initially seemed like a good fit for our business. Unfortunately, the actual functionality didn’t live up to what was promised. > > **Cons**: Many of the core features we were sold on didn’t work as described. Bulk pricing updates to BigCommerce, Authorize.net integration, and several automation workflows were either non-functional or unreliable. We were also misled into thinking we needed to buy an additional product, Inventory Planner, for reporting that already exists in Brightpearl. Support responses were slow and repetitive, and after months of back-and-forth, we lost all trust in the platform and the company. > > We were sold on Brightpearl’s promises of seamless integration with BigCommerce, automated pricing updates, and built-in reporting; none of which worked as described. We were never given a trial or hands-on demo before paying in full, so we relied entirely on sales presentations that turned out to be inaccurate. Critical features like bulk pricing syncs and Authorize.net integration failed to function, and we were misled into purchasing extra software for reporting that we later found was unnecessary. After months of back and forth, Brightpearl refused to refund the unused portion of our subscription. The product simply didn’t deliver on what was promised, and we’ve lost all trust in the company. ----- ### "Pineapple Island" — 4.0/5 > **Alice** | *11 December 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having accurate, real-time stock across all our sales channels. It's taken a lot of stress out of managing inventory and has made our workflow much smoother. > > **Cons**: The main frustration has been the restrictions on product line quantities within individual orders. It slows things down when we need more flexibility. > > Overall, our experience with Brightpearl has been positive. It’s helped us run the business more smoothly and keep our stock accurate across all channels. ----- ### "Our Core Platform" — 5.0/5 > **WILLIAM** | *02 July 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Brighpearl is a very powerful all in one solution for the modern multi sales channel and location business. Configurable and adaptable with essential features for business needs with a great suite of apps and integrations. > > **Cons**: Some features we will never use as it is for larger companies but the simple direct bank feed is not available. > > After the initial set up pain and changing our ways of working we now have a very powerful and customised platform for all our needs and future growth. very good \!\! We have now renewed for the 12th year \! ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/9926/brightpearl?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/9926/brightpearl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
