Hot off the heels of last week's major release, we have some more excellent additions to Brightpearl. Does the team ever sleep?! Full release notes are here. Highlights in 4.16 include:

Support for multiple price lists and price tiers on your integrated Magento store

For many of you using Brightpearl, this week is your first experience of Brightpearl 4. On Tuesday evening we upgraded 4000+ accounts across both European and American data centers. I'm really pleased to say that we've had an incredible amount of glowing feedback;

"Brightpearl has sped up his processes massively compared to v3....this is just what it [my business] needed, cannot ask for anything more..."

This week we hosted another Brightpearl event and welcomed over 30 customers, prospects and partners to our Bristol office for a jam packed day bursting with information on Brightpearl and business advice from star guests.

A while ago we let you know by email that Brightpearl 4 is nearly here. It's just a case of days now! Exciting stuff. At the start of October we'll be upgrading existing accounts. We'll be communicating directly by email with those of you that already have accounts to give you an exact date. Have a look through the information below to see the awesome goodness that Brightpearl 4 brings you, and also check out the Brightpearl 4 video here.

This week we're pleased to announce some pretty cool improvements to the Brightpearl bank matching process - you can now match a single bank receipt (or payment) against multiple invoices or sales receipts that already exist in your accounts! This is really handy for those of you that work with cheques and paying in slips. It's also a great way to allocate receipts against multiple open invoices.

Not used this feature before?

This week brings along a raft of features and improvements to the Brightpearl system;

eCommerce Special Offers have had a make-over; you now apply a discount percentage to the price list of your choice (previously special offers were only available on Retail price list), using the wee button at the top of the product listing screen (you'll need to have Standard inventory module and eCommerce enabled). You can set start and end dates for the discount too:

So we've got some exciting things happening over the next few months, one of which is the all-new interface that we've been busying ourselves away on here at Brightpearl HQ. We sat back, took a good look at all things nice and all things nasty in the current design, merged the good stuff with a load of fresh HTML5 and CSS3, done a load of user testing, given everything a generous dose of modernisation - and are nearly ready to start rolling out the new design.

Faster, slicker, easier to use - lovely.

Brightpearl today announces that we have secured an additional $5million in Series A funding from Notion Capital and Eden Ventures. The investment follows spectacular growth that includes tripling both our customer acquisition and monthly revenues in less than a year. The investment will enable us to expand faster in the US and other markets and further develop our cloud-based solution for SMEs that includes accounting, CRM, inventory and ecommerce.

Here in the UK we're just coming out of a string of bank holidays; an opportunity for our tech team to get their heads down and add some great time-saving features to your system, as well as fix a stack of other issues. For the full list, have a look at our release notes. Here's a summary;
