Also like the fact that you can take care payments, and there are loads of different plug ins that can be used > > **Cons**: Bugs the error issues can be an issue for our sales and warehouse teams, as it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes for it to come back on > > We’ve been working with Brightpearl for many years, and this year we began implementing their WMS. While the journey hasn’t been without its challenges, \[sensitive content hidden\] has been fantastic—consistently going above and beyond to find solutions that ensure the system works effectively for our business. Our account managers, \[sensitive content hidden\], have also been a pleasure to work with. They are approachable, responsive, and always supportive, making collaboration easy and productive. We have experienced a few issues with system errors recently, but \[sensitive content hidden\] has been proactive in addressing these and is keeping us well informed on progress and improvements. ----- ### "Experienced User Review" — 4.0/5 > **Waverly** | *06 December 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to manage / process sales orders from multiple channels. (E-commerce, POS, Phone, Amazon, eBay, etc.) > > **Cons**: Limited flexibility with product costing. No capacity to capture “landed cost” (product cost + FRT + Tariffs + Fees) > > Overall rate a 8/10 over the 9 years we have been on the platform. Would recommend for any multichannel business. ----- ### "Easy to Use, but Room for Improvement" — 3.0/5 > **Taylor** | *16 December 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Happy user for 9 years" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *22 September 2025* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple system with good flexibility to setup to meet our needs and workflows. We've been able to move away from multiple systems to one, and streamline many processes saving huge amounts of time and reducing human input and errors. When needed, support is great, and the team at BrightPearl are always a pleasure to speak and deal with. > > **Cons**: Top level reporting could be better. Ability to be able to filter reports more narrowly by custom fields and compare year by year. Reporting on margins would also be nice, again with period comparisons. This data is important to help analysis business performance and where focus may be required. > > Been very happy with Brightpearl overall. Support is always great and most of the time are able to help us solve any issues we may have. Often recommend the product to theres where we can see they would benefit from this over their existing systems. ----- ### "Efficient, Reliable, and Great for Small Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Monica** | *26 March 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really appreciate how reliable and secure Brightpearl is. Order management is smooth and well-organized, and staff management is simple and effective. The platform is intuitive and helps keep everything organized, which is perfect for a small business. > > **Cons**: There have been very few minor bugs, but they are quickly resolved. I’d say sometimes the interface can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s easy to get used to. > > Overall, my experience has been very positive. Brightpearl has improved efficiency, made daily operations easier, and comes with excellent customer support. It’s a reliable, scalable solution that supports business growth and I would definitely recommend it to other small businesses. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/124180/brightpearl?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/124180/brightpearl) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
