Brightpearl Consulting, from ops experts.

Looking to make the most out of your Brightpearl* installation? Gearshift Industries is here to help! We're not just experts in ERP implementation, support, and integrations – we also understand the needs and complexities of fast-moving retail businesses.Let us take the pain out of your tech stack, so your team can be more effective than ever before.

Don't just implement Brightpearl – build a ops ecosystem around it.

Brightpearl* is a powerful tool, but it's only one component of your tech stack. Gearshift Industries works across your entire stack – from eCommerce storefronts, retail marketplaces, EDI customers, financial systems, and shipping/3PL system – and ensures that Brightpearl is optimized for your company's processes. Unlike siloed first-party software vendors, we aren't beholden to any specific products and can impartially help you identify and implement the best tools and settings for your organization.

Get ongoing support, above and beyond the technology itself.

Gearshift Industries is invested in your team's success – but software is only one part of the picture. We assist with training, building processes and controls, and procuring new tools that further strengthen your team. We have the context and expertise to ensure that you are following industry best practices, and are getting the most of your software subscriptions.

Get the benefits of a CIO, at a fraction of the price.

Technology can make or break a business, so ensure that you are set up for success by allowing Gearshift Industries to act as your strategic technology leader. We'll build a comprehensive technology plan, and ensure your team is well-supported as your organization – and your tech stack – grows.We'll help you confidently make technology decisions, mitigate security risks, and save money and time. And when your organization is ready for an in-house team, we'll help you recruit and hire the right people to take you to the next level.

We hired Ezra during a pivotal moment in our business. We needed a major software and ERP upgrade to meet our growing business needs but didn't know where to start (or even what we really needed). Under Ezra's thoughtful and organized leadership, we found Brightpearl. More importantly, his process transformed our internal approach to operational systems and helped us build a strong technical foundation. I strongly recommend Ezra to any business looking to scale their systems and software.
