Why teams connect Brightpearl and Namely

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

Namely 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 Inventory and warehouses, Goods-out notes, Invoices and payments, Custom fields in Brightpearl with Reports, Profile Fields, Events, Profiles in Namely 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 Keep the product catalog aligned between Brightpearl and e-commerce channels, including price list changes.
  • 02 Land order and margin data in a warehouse for retail performance reporting.
  • 03 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

Common sync patterns

Where Namely runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Namely posts into Brightpearl as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Namely is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Namely, the matching employee record in Brightpearl is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Brightpearl

A new person set up in Namely becomes an employee record in Brightpearl in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

What you can sync between Brightpearl and Namely

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 Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Sales orders Orders from all channels; the central object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Sales orders is specific to Brightpearl and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement or accounting systems. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Purchase orders is specific to Brightpearl and Reports to Namely — 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. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Contacts is specific to Brightpearl and Profile Fields to Namely — 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. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools.

Goods-out notes Fulfillment documents that carry picking and shipping status back to order sources. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Goods-out notes is specific to Brightpearl and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices and payments Financial documents synced to accounting platforms for reconciliation. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Invoices and payments is specific to Brightpearl and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Brightpearl and Namely

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

Namely Brightpearl Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
