Brightpearl debuts most advanced drop shipping and margin calculation functionality designed to help save critical time and improve bottom-line results
SAN FRANCISCO and BRISTOL, England, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent retailers are enjoying an early Christmas present, gaining access to a range of industry-leading tools to help slash costs and boost margins during the crucial holiday sales season. Today Brightpearl unveils its Holiday 2015 Product Release, which includes powerful new updates to its suite of retail and inventory management software for small- and medium-sized independent retailers and wholesalers.
Brightpearl's powerful-yet-affordable software offers a full suite of capabilities, including order and inventory management, purchasing and supplier management, customer relationship management (CRM), shipping, and accounting, that give merchants control, efficiency, and insight into their businesses.
According to Justin Essler, General Manager, Giantnerd, a Denver-based supplier of premium bikes and accessories with factory-direct pricing to consumers, "With the help of Brightpearl we've grown over 34 percent, and now that we're operationally stable our focus is to grow the business even further, especially during peak selling periods."
With a week to go until the arrival of Black Friday and the start of the busy holiday season, logistics, inventory, and retail management processes will prove critical to the success of independent retailers worldwide. Key features in the new release, which will give Brightpearl customers a competitive edge during this most critical transaction time of the year and other peak trading seasons, include:
"Last year our customers saw holiday season sales volume nearly triple compared to 2013," said Henry Morland, Chief Product Officer at Brightpearl. "As Brightpearl is entirely cloud-based, we can dramatically increase computing resources to accommodate a huge spike in expected demand this year as well. The result is a competitive advantage enjoyed by the 1,400 merchants currently using Brightpearl to run their multi-channel operations. Already, our customers are growing at twice the average rate for ecommerce businesses worldwide -- a rate we expect will continue to increase as merchants further leverage the capabilities of our software."
Savvy retailers and wholesalers using the latest release are in the best position ever to quickly scale across e-commerce and offline channels, compete with larger retailers across geographies, and meet customer service expectations.
Morland continues, "As retail specialists, we understand the importance of the holiday season and the nuances that define success for retailers: operational efficiency, customer service, reliable logistics, and effective pricing. We enable our customers to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that genuinely impact the bottom line."
