Why teams connect Brightpearl and D2l Brightspace

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Brightpearl and D2l Brightspace share in real time, so the people D2l Brightspace manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

D2l Brightspace is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Brightpearl runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Sales orders, Purchase orders, Contacts, Inventory and warehouses in Brightpearl with Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress), Quizzes, Assignments (Dropbox), Groups and Sections in D2l Brightspace field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Brightpearl keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Land order and margin data in a warehouse for retail performance reporting.
  • 02 Sync Brightpearl sales orders and fulfillment status with a CRM so sales and support see order state without switching tools.
  • 03 Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.
  • 04 Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.
