Why teams connect Brightpearl and Gatekeeper

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Gatekeeper and Brightpearl.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Gatekeeper is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Custom data groups, Users, Categories, Contracts in Gatekeeper with Inventory and warehouses, Goods-out notes, Invoices and payments, Custom fields in Brightpearl bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Contracts between Gatekeeper and an ERP or warehouse so value, renewal dates, owner, and status stay current without manual re-keying.
  • 02 Sync Vendors (Suppliers) with a CRM or ERP so counterparty, compliance, contact, and spend records match across the VCLM and the systems of record.
  • 03 Push invoices and payments into an accounting platform for reconciliation.
  • 04 Keep the product catalog aligned between Brightpearl and e-commerce channels, including price list changes.

Common sync patterns

Where Brightpearl is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Brightpearl stays current in Gatekeeper, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Gatekeeper faces customers and Brightpearl carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Brightpearl appears alongside the customer in Gatekeeper, so front-line teams answer from live data.

What you can sync between Brightpearl and Gatekeeper

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Brightpearl objects Gatekeeper objects How this pairing syncs
Custom fields Per-object custom attributes included in field mappings. Custom data groups Customer-configured custom fields and data groups; because the JSON:API and its docs are dynamic, any custom data added in Configuration exposes the same read/write endpoints as the standard objects and syncs the same way. Custom fields is specific to Brightpearl and Custom data groups to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products SKU records with variants and price lists, synced with e-commerce and ERP catalogs. Users Gatekeeper user and team records governed by role-based access; read to map contract and vendor owners, approvers, and internal contacts to CRM or HR records. Products is specific to Brightpearl and Users to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Orders from all channels; the central object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Categories The classification taxonomy applied to contracts and vendors (type, department, business unit); synced so categorization stays consistent between Gatekeeper and downstream reporting or ERP dimensions. Sales orders is specific to Brightpearl and Categories to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement or accounting systems. Contracts The core contract records holding value, key dates, renewal terms, status, type, owner, and the linked vendor; created, read, updated, and deleted so contract data moves two-way between Gatekeeper and a database, ERP, or CRM. Purchase orders is specific to Brightpearl and Contracts to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Customers and suppliers in one contact model, matched to CRM records by email or reference. Vendors (Suppliers) Company records for counterparties and suppliers with onboarding status, compliance, risk, contacts, and spend; read and written to keep vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Contacts is specific to Brightpearl and Vendors (Suppliers) to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory and warehouses On-hand and allocated stock by warehouse, read for availability publishing. Files Document files attached to contracts and vendors - executed PDFs, certificates, and compliance evidence; read to pull signed files and evidence out, or written to push generated documents in. Inventory and warehouses is specific to Brightpearl and Files to Gatekeeper — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Brightpearl and Gatekeeper

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Brightpearl Gatekeeper 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 Gatekeeper through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Gatekeeper Brightpearl Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gatekeeper for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Brightpearl: Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints.
  • Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.

How the Brightpearl and Gatekeeper connectors work

Brightpearl

Integration surface
REST API, organized into services (order, product, contact, warehouse, accounting)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (authorization code grant) for current apps; legacy private and public apps authenticate with app reference and account token headers
Change detection
Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints

Gatekeeper

Integration surface
RESTful API following the JSON:API specification, tenant-scoped with interactive docs at {tenant}.gatekeeperhq.com/api_docs and a published Postman collection. The API is dynamic: it exposes the standard Contract and Vendor objects plus any custom data groups and workflow-form data configured in the tenant.
Authentication
API keys created and managed under Configuration > API Keys and passed as a token; each key carries granular per-endpoint permissions set to read-only or write, so access is scoped per object. Multiple keys can be issued and revoked independently.
Change detection
No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log; detect changes by polling the JSON:API list endpoints filtered and sorted on updated-at timestamps. Gatekeeper's own event automation - Workflow Engine phase transitions and Interconnect process orchestration - runs inside the platform rather than as a subscribable webhook stream.
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.
