QuickBooks Desktop

Brightpearl syncs data with QuickBooks Desktop. But there’s a choice. QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop syncs to the QuickBooks Desktop accounting system as part of its End of Day procedure. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise offers an industry-specific Retail Edition. With integrated third-party add-on apps, including retail, eCommerce, and CRM, QuickBooks increases its functionality to include more functionality, like an ERP system. QuickBooks Desktop is on-premises software that can be hosted for remote access.

QuickBooks Online

Brightpearl retail ERP system integrates and syncs with QuickBooks Online. With third-party add-on software for near real-time syncing of  QuickBooks Point of Sale Desktop to QuickBooks Online (QBO) instead of natively syncing with QuickBooks Desktop, cloud-based QBO accounting software combined with QuickBooks POS becomes a Brightpearl alternative. QuickBooks Online has third-party retail, eCommerce, and CRM add-on apps.
