Brightpearl Purchase Order Portal
Aphix Digital Platform integrates seamlessly with Brightpearl, allowing you to use and extend your business data online without compromising its quality and integrity. Data is requested and sent through a standard data interface using a REST web service.
Aphix integrates with Brightpearl to provide you with a
Customer Portal - designed to be used by customers to view their order history, quotations, delivery addresses and account details.
Purchase Order Portal - designed to be used by suppliers to allow Brightpearl suppliers view, manage and fulfil orders.
This article defines the standard product features for the Brightpearl Purchase Order Portal once it is integrated with the Aphix Digital platform.
Remember Aphix Digital Platform is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. This means that you do not need to update anything in your system when we deploy updates or additions to the web service used between your ERP and Aphix - you simply get access to more functionality and features.
