Why teams connect Brightpearl and Coupa

Keep Coupa and Brightpearl agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Contracts, Expense Reports, Requisitions, Purchase Orders in Coupa with Custom fields, Products, Sales orders, Purchase orders in Brightpearl in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Purchase Orders and their status into an operational Postgres database for spend reporting and three-way match analytics.
  • 02 Export approved Invoices and their lines from Coupa into an accounting/ERP system to drive the AP pay cycle and GL posting.
  • 03 Land order and margin data in a warehouse for retail performance reporting.
  • 04 Sync Brightpearl sales orders and fulfillment status with a CRM so sales and support see order state without switching tools.

Common sync patterns

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Coupa serves a business unit and Brightpearl is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Coupa handles billing: invoices land in Brightpearl

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

Brightpearl Coupa Sub-second propagation

DetectionBrightpearl notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Coupa through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Coupa Brightpearl Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Coupa for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on updated-at and created-at filters (e.g.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Brightpearl through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations
