Brightpearl

Brightpearl, a Sage company, is a Retail Operating System (ROS) architected to handle the complexity of high-growth, multi-channel retail environments. Unlike legacy ERPs designed for manufacturing, Brightpearl is purpose-built for commerce, centralizing inventory management, order fulfillment, warehouse operations, shipping, and real-time accounting. By 2026, the platform has further integrated Sage's advanced AI capabilities for predictive inventory forecasting and automated procurement logic. Its technical architecture prioritizes high-volume API throughput, ensuring that inventory across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and physical POS systems remains synchronized in real-time. The platform's 'Automation Center' allows operations teams to define complex workflows—such as automated order routing based on geographical proximity to warehouses or customer loyalty tiers—without requiring custom code. This focus on the 'middle office' eliminates manual data entry and reduces human error, positioning Brightpearl as the critical infrastructure for merchants scaling between $1M and $100M in annual GMV. Its 2026 market position is defined by its deep connectivity, offering a robust ecosystem of over 50 native integrations that facilitate rapid expansion into new sales channels and international markets.
