Hear what ex-NetSuite customers have to say

We've had a number of customers move from NetSuite to Brightpearl. Hear what they have to say about the switch.

"I decided to move from NetSuite to Brightpearl as it was a better financial option for us, but still a really strong system to run the business from. Brightpearl is much easier to train other employees on, it’s a better price point, and unlike NetSuite, it directly integrates with Amazon."
