In 2019, Advanced Automation integrated Intuit QuickBooks Desktop, an ERP Financial application, as the companys accounting backbone during a Brightpearl retail operating system rollout. The work commenced in January 2019 and focused on centralizing revenue recognition, inventory accounting, payments and commitments between sales and finance.
Configuration centered on standard financial modules aligned with ERP Financial workflows, including general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable and payment processing to support barcode product sales. Intuit QuickBooks Desktop was configured to consume transactional summaries and invoice data from Brightpearl so accounting records remained synchronized with order and inventory events.
The deployment architecture used Brightpearl as the retail operations hub, with Intuit QuickBooks Desktop connected through custom integrations developed by b.solutions. TrueCommerce was integrated with Brightpearl to enable EDI driven supplier connectivity and drop shipping, automating supplier order placement, acknowledgements and invoicing. Order and customer account data were also pushed from Brightpearl into Salesforce Pardot via a bespoke integration to enable both transactional and marketing communications.
Governance and rollout were handled as an integrated program across finance, distribution and marketing, with b.solutions delivering the integration layer and implementation sequencing. The same Brightpearl to Intuit QuickBooks Desktop integration pattern was subsequently applied to sister company Midwest Mailing Supplies, allowing both entities to automate accounting processes, expand product reach through drop-shipping and enable data led customer communications.

| Brightpearl | Legacy | Brightpearl ERP | Retail Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2019 | 2019 |
In 2019, Advanced Automation began using Brightpearl ERP as its Retail Operating System to centralize retail operations. Brightpearl ERP was implemented to provide core Retail Management capabilities across order processing, inventory control, and accounting for the 27-employee distributor of barcode products.
b.solutions was engaged to integrate Brightpearl ERP into Advanced Automation's tech stack, focusing first on accounting automation. The team integrated QuickBooks Desktop with Brightpearl to synchronize revenue, inventory, payments and commitments, enabling Brightpearl to act as the transactional system feeding financial records.
Next the implementation extended distribution and supplier automation through an integration between Brightpearl and TrueCommerce. That TrueCommerce integration enabled EDI-driven drop-shipping and automated supplier workflows such as order placement, acknowledgements and invoicing. A custom integration built by b.solutions also pushed order information and customer account data from Brightpearl into Salesforce Pardot to enable transactional and marketing email flows.
Operational scope included order management, supplier relationships, accounting, and marketing communications across Advanced Automation and subsequently Midwest Mailing Supplies, a sister company that adopted a similar Brightpearl to QuickBooks integration. Governance changes centered on system-to-system orchestration and automated supplier processes managed through Brightpearl and TrueCommerce integrations, implemented by b.solutions. Outcomes stated include an automated accounting process, expanded product availability through drop-shipping, and a data-led communications capability.
