Brightpearl, now branded Brightpearl by Sage after Sage completed its $340M acquisition in January 2022, is a cloud-native multichannel retail operating system for ecommerce retailers and wholesalers.
Primary vertical: ERP, specifically mid-market multichannel retail and wholesale ERP. A Shopify Plus apparel brand connects Brightpearl to Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, and a 3PL.
Moderate-to-high inside its niche. Brightpearl publicly cites 1,200+ retail, ecommerce, and wholesale customers and ~10M transactions processed annually, and serves 5,000+ brands across its broader Sage-aligned ecosystem.
Brightpearl is the system of record for inventory levels across every connected sales channel, the orchestrator for order fulfillment and shipping label generation, the source of truth for retail accounting (revenue, COGS, tax), and the broker for marketplace and 3PL communication.
Brightpearl was founded in 2007, took Sage minority investment, and was fully acquired by Sage in January 2022 for $340M.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Brightpearl API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Brightpearl data. See the Brightpearl integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/brightpearl-api.
