Brightpearl is an omnichannel retail management platform for inventory management, order processing and fulfilment, contact relationship management, and accounting automation. Brightpearl maintains integrations to Shopify, Magento, Shipstation, Shiptheory, Amazon, ebay and many other retail technologies.
Brightpearl has offices located in San Francisco, US and Bristol, UK, the company is privately owned and funded by Eden Ventures and Notion Capital.
Brightpearl grew out of founder Chris Tanner’s prior business, Lush Longboards, when Chris brought to market the software he had written to run Lush’s sales and operations (including its ecommerce website) under the name Pearl Software. Pearl software took on its first customer (outside of Lush) in 2008. By late 2009, the company had over 100 paying customers.
Pearl was renamed Brightpearl in early 2010, about the same time that the company took in its first outside investor, Eden Ventures. Eden was later joined by Notion Capital as investors in Brightpearl.
By late 2011, the company had seen over 6,000 companies sign up to use its cloud-based business management platform.
Brightpearl version 3 (early 2011) represented a significant enhancement of the company’s inventory management features.
Brightpearl 4 was released in September 2011 and significantly changed the user interface.
