Connect Brightpearl and Act-on

Connecting Brightpearl and Act-on for a company would involve enabling data exchange between the two systems. This could allow sales, inventory, or customer information from Brightpearl to be used for marketing automation or campaign management in Act-on, supporting more coordinated business processes and improved data consistency across departments.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Brightpearl and Act-on around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Brightpearl and Act-on?

A company that uses both Brightpearl and Act-on could benefit from connecting the two systems so that information flows automatically between their operational and marketing tools. Without such a connection, staff might need to manually enter or update data in both systems, which could result in duplicate effort, inconsistencies, and errors. For example, customer records or sales data entered in one system could become outdated or drift apart from the corresponding records in the other, making it harder for teams to coordinate and for managers to make informed decisions based on the latest information. If data is not synchronized, marketing campaigns in Act-on could be based on incomplete or outdated customer details from Brightpearl, while operational teams could miss out on insights from marketing activities. The types of data that could be exchanged between a retail operations platform like Brightpearl and a marketing automation platform like Act-on include customer contact details, purchase history, and engagement metrics. What can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Brightpearl and Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
