E-commerce automation isn\u2019t just a nice-to-have for retailers in today’s rapidly-evolving market, it\u2019s absolutely essential.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Automation streamlines operations, reduces manual tasks and boosts productivity, enabling businesses to focus on more important activities that boost customer experience and overall growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the leading retail operating system, <\/span>Brightpearl<\/span><\/a> is in the driving seat of the automation transformation in retail.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a powerful <\/span>Automation Engine<\/span><\/a> at its heart, Brightpearl helps the average e-commerce merchant save 352 hours every year using no-code automation \u2013\u202fas well as reduce errors by 65% and cut labor costs in half.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re yet to feel the benefits of e-commerce automation in your business<\/a>, dive into these inspirational Brightpearl success stories from top retailers in a range of sectors.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Dan-O\u2019s Seasoning<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan-O\u2019s Seasoning is a $30M multichannel seasoning brand, launched in 2016 from Louisville, KY by Dan Oliver.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>After succeeding with selling an original all-purpose blend at farmers markets and outdoor shows, the brand exploded on TikTok and the range has since expanded to include spicy, crunchy and chipotle varieties.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The business didn\u2019t have the technology in place to cope with such rapid growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Sean Bownman, VP of Finance, says: \u201cWe had a revenue of $10M but we were a 100% manual business \u2013 that wasn\u2019t sustainable.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sean explains: \u201cWe didn\u2019t want a pricey legacy ERP like Netsuite. We needed a slick, flexible system that could connect seamlessly with our website, sales channels and favourite tools and eliminate the manual work that was dragging us down.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI kept coming across positive reviews for Brightpearl so I got a demo and a quote \u2013 and I was sold.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to Brightpearl\u2019s unique expert-led approach to onboarding, Dan-O\u2019s went live on the platform in just three months.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The Result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With immediate access to <\/span>powerful automation<\/span><\/a> functionality, the retailer was quickly able to streamline its operations, saving time and resources.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Automation has been transformative. Revenue has tripled and <\/span>seven hires have been saved<\/span><\/b>, with the team getting back weeks every month.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cBrightpearl has been instrumental in us becoming a successful $30M retail brand,\u201d Sean added.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. TBCo\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBCo (formerly Tartan Blanket Company) is an Edinburgh-based, B Corp-certified retail brand on a mission to create statement pieces that add the finishing touch to outfits and homes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, the fast-growing business operates across a Shopify webstore, physical store and wholesale.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBCo had lots of individual systems that were great, but they didn’t \u2018talk\u2019 to each other and there were data siloes, as well as lots of people doing things manually on spreadsheets.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alice Davidson, Lead Operations Specialist at TBCo, says: \u201cWe\u2019d been \u2018making do\u2019, but we couldn’t really move to the next step in our growth journey until we had a proper operating system in place.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having used Brightpearl in a previous role, Alice knew it was the <\/span>best scalable, flexible operating system to support the rapid growth of the business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TBCo went live on Brightpearl in just three months, in time for Black Friday peak.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Brightpearl\u2019s powerful <\/span>Automation Engine<\/span><\/a> at its disposal, TBCo was quickly able to overhaul its operations \u2013\u202fautomating around <\/span>82 manual workflows<\/span><\/b> in order to save huge amounts of time, streamline processes and boost profits.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe automation power that Brightpearl has given us has been truly game-changing,\u201d says Alice.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Unimart.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unimart.com is a rapidly growing online marketplace offering a wide range of products from electronics to fashion. It\u2019s built on a complex, multichannel model \u2013 consisting of Shopify Plus-powered direct-to-consumer sales, a B2B arm for corporate customers, and a separate API stream supplying brand loyalty programs.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unimart.com\u2019s legacy ERP couldn\u2019t copy with the business\u2019s complex set-up and its disjointed data transfers were causing chaos.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roberto Jim\u00e9nez, CEO and Founder, says: \u201cEverything was disconnected and nothing matched at the end of each month. It was a terrible setup, it just didn\u2019t work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roberto considered alternative legacy ERPs but found their all-in-one nature, as well as their clunky means of connectivity, meant they weren\u2019t financially viable.\u00a0 Following a recommendation from Shopify, he discovered Brightpearl \u2013\u202fand there was no going back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unimart.com\u2019s manual systems have been transformed by Brightpearl\u2019s <\/span>Automation Engine<\/span><\/a>, which streamlines and automates manual tasks in inventory<\/a>, warehouse<\/a>, orders, shipping and fulfilment so that key staff are freed up to direct time into growth and innovation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only has this meant Unimart.com can easily integrate their self-run shipping and logistics processes, Roberto estimates they\u2019ve saved an incredible <\/span>70 hours a month<\/span><\/b> on manual purchase orders.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Bond Touch<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bond Touch, founded in 2013, is dedicated to creating wearable technology that helps loved ones stay connected. The company\u2019s signature product, the Bond Touch bracelet, allows people to send and receive touch messages, simulating a physical connection regardless of distance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When demand surged for Bond Touch\u2019s innovative bracelets, running various channels with large order volumes, using only manual workflows and spreadsheets, became an impossible task.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cOur processes were far too manual. It was a nightmare,\u201d says COO, Jorge Henriques.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bond Touch considered signing up with Netsuite, as a traditional ERP provider, as well as single point solutions from Skubana and TradeGecko. However, only <\/span>Brightpearl<\/span><\/a> was able to offer the scalability, flexibility and functionality the brand required.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Automating order processing and other routine tasks on Brightpearl has saved three full time hires \u2013 equating to around <\/span>120 hours a week, or 480 hours a month<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Jorge adds: \u201cOur aim was to stop our team doing almost all manual tasks, and we were able to achieve that with Brightpearl\u2019s <\/span>Automation Engine<\/span><\/a>. Now, everything except occasional warranty orders are handled automatically.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a05. Baby & Co<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby & Co is a family-run, Bristol-based company, specializing in strollers, prams, nursery furniture and nursery equipment from premium brands including Bugaboo, Silver Cross and Mamas & Papas. Established in 1982, the DTC business has a webstore powered by Advanced Shopify.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby & Co came to Brightpearl after growing by 40% year-on-year and ending up bogged down by manual processes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe needed a flexible, scalable solution that could help us automate and streamline. Brightpearl ticked every box and more,\u201d says Director, Jeff Mills, said:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The solution<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After evaluating several options, Baby & Co. chose Brightpearl for its robust automation capabilities and seamless integration with their existing tools. <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Jeff says: \u201cWe did our homework and looked at lots of other providers, but they all came up short compared to Brightpearl,\u201d said Baby & Co\u2019s Director, Jeff Mills. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIt became clear that many systems weren\u2019t built for the retail sector and, with the exception of Brightpearl, they all faltered when we hypothetically tested them with certain scenarios.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Automation<\/span><\/a> has enabled the Baby & Co team to take a hands-off approach to hands-off approach to everything from managing inventory to order fulfillment. By setting up simple-yet-powerful no-code rules, the business is saving 280 hours a month.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Jeff adds: \u201cI\u2019d say automation saves us two members of full time staff \u2013 or around 70 hours a week \u2013 and it eliminates human error too.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a06. <\/strong>Lords and Labradors<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Launched in 2013, Lords & Labradors is a premium pet supply retailer, offering products for pets and their owners via a Shopify Plus-powered website and marketplaces including Amazon<\/a>, eBay, Not on the High Street and Etsy. Based in Stickney, England, the business is best known for its luxury pet bedding and furniture \u2013 including its iconic doggy chesterfield.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a familiar story, the multichannel business was struggling to manage operations manually after experiencing rapid growth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Commercial Director, Ryan Willey, says: \u201cWe realised we needed a dedicated operations platform that could streamline our systems and automate our processes \u2013 and we needed it quickly.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first, Lords & Labradors turned to ecommerce platform Linnworks for help, attracted by the promise of a cheap and easy solution.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>But the partnership quickly turned into something of a dog\u2019s dinner. It turned out the platform couldn\u2019t offer all the features Lords & Labradors needed to scale and it wasn\u2019t able to integrate with other tools well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The business joined Brightpearl instead and went live in just 120 days, with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The result\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A whopping <\/span>80% of orders get processed automatically<\/span><\/b>, seamlessly flowing through the system without needing manual input.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Brightpearl\u2019s e-commerce automation tools<\/span><\/a> have also saved the team more than <\/span>35 hours a week<\/span><\/b>, eliminated frequent human errors (like copying and pasting addresses incorrectly) and helped the business better manage spikes in demand.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>“Brightpearl has absolutely helped us grow,\u201d adds Alexandra Clements, Buying and Supply Chain<\/a> Manager at Lords and Labradors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a07. <\/strong><\/span>Wolverson Fitness<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based in the West Midlands, Wolverson Fitness supplies high-quality fitness equipment to gyms and individuals. Powered by two <\/span>Shopify<\/span><\/a> websites, the business has swiftly secured a large, loyal following of home-based fitness enthusiasts, independent gyms and personal trainers across the UK \u2013 splitting its sales 50\/50 across consumer and commercial markets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without a robust operations system in place, the e-commerce brand was weighed down by time-consuming manual processes and fighting against day-to-day issues, including stock over-selling and platforms that didn\u2019t communicate with each other.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wolverson Fitness joined the <\/span>Brightpearl<\/span><\/a> family \u2013 and embraced a built-for-retail operation system that added instant core strength to its operations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe needed a composable tech stack that brought everything together \u2013 and Brightpearl was the only provider that could deliver,\u201d says MD Jason McCarthy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since automating workflows with Brighpearl. there\u2019s been a <\/span>300% increase in productivity<\/span><\/b>, enabling the team to focus on expanding the business and improving customer satisfaction.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Wolverson\u2019s Sales Manager Jordan Hill said: \u201cWe previously employed someone full time to do the manual tasks associated with order fulfilment, such as printing labels and data entry. Now, Brightpearl <\/span>automates<\/span><\/a> the whole process \u2013 saving us a full-time hire plus around <\/span>40 hours a month.\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The Flex Company<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flex Company launched in 2016 with a revolutionary invention: a disposable menstrual disc; and a clear mission: to improve the lives of people who have periods.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to a powerful growth mindset and an unwavering dedication to company culture, the business\u2019s success skyrocketed and within just 12 months the team had expanded to eight people and $4 million in revenue. <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As so often is the case for brands like The Flex Company, with rapid growth came operational complexity. The business needed a reliable platform to streamline its systems and support ongoing growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flex team started looking into its options and put Stitch Labs, Skubana and <\/span>Brightpearl<\/span><\/a> in the running, among others.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0O<\/span>ne of the key features that drove the decision to join Brightpearl was its strong automation capabilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Automation Engine is one of the best Brightpearl features in my view,\u201d says Aaron, SVP of Supply Chain at The Flex Company.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The result\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to <\/span>automation<\/span><\/a>, orders are now processed twice as fast.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Aaron adds: \u201cWe automatically route all orders. If inventory is low in one warehouse we automatically reroute orders to get fulfilled in another warehouse and also automatically upgrade the shipping so it still arrives when we promised it would.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThis is something that we previously would have done manually \u2013 and would have taken lots of time.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Strength Shop<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 2009, Strength Shop specializes in providing high-quality strength training equipment for athletes, gyms, and fitness enthusiasts. The Scotland-based business has grown alongside the popularity of sports including strongman, powerlifting and crossfit and now operates globally, with sales coming from a Magento-powered website, alongside marketplaces including Amazon and eBay and via other reselling partners.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing 50% year-on-year, it was an exciting time for the business \u2013 but with no system in place to streamline retail operations, it was also stressful, and the business was exposed due to a reliance on spreadsheets and non-integrated third party apps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team considered traditional ERP systems \u2013 but they didn\u2019t fit the requirement for a system that was low effort to get running, highly extensible and could be implemented quickly. Brightpearl did.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The platform went live for Strength Shop in just 120 days, finally consolidating all orders in one centralized hub. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The result\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The easy-to-use <\/span>automation rules<\/span><\/a> on Brightpearl that have transformed the day-to-day operations of the business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The team was previously spending whole days processing orders; now it\u2019s done automatically. Products are shipped faster and communication with customers is better than ever.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>And the best bit? The hours saved every week thanks to automation are being reinvested in growing the business.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe automation features of Brightpearl have made a massive difference,\u201d says Ricky Shah, COO.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Honour<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 1988, <\/span>Honour<\/span><\/a> began selling lingerie and gothic clothing from its Waterloo-based store in London, before moving into more strictly fetish-based clothing, toys and accessories. Honour now trades across several direct-to-consumer and wholesale websites, as well as several marketplaces, including Amazon, and stocks more than 10,000 products for its sexually adventurous customer base.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The challenge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an early adopter of ecommerce, Honour had built its technology stack around a legacy provider, rather than a cloud-based and integratable system, and this was becoming a major issue for the business as it grew.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The solution\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its automation powers as well as extensibility to a wide range of built-in integrations, including to 3PL softwares such as Shipstation, real-time reporting functionality, and robust scalability, Brightpearl was an obvious choice to address Honour\u2019s growing pains.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe run a complex operation\u201d, says Director, Joe Xuereb. \u201cSo we were looking for a solution that would support multi-channel selling across online ecommerce, marketplaces, wholesale and physical retail locations and could easily integrate to our other apps.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The Result\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since <\/span>automating<\/span><\/a> as many of its manual workflows as possible, Honour is saving hours every week and has streamlined activity and reduced overheads.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe adds: \u201cWe automate all of our invoices, orders and shipping processes and we\u2019ve seen a major impact on the speed and efficiency of our operation, while transforming our customer service<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to have a full time employee whose remit was solely managing returns, and we had a team dedicated to customer support. Brightpearl has streamlined this entire process, saving us <\/span>28 hours each week.\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
