Cloud business management solutions provider, Sage is entering a new significant partnership with Digital Operations Platform, Brightpearl with an approximate £17 million ($23m)  investment into the business.

Lee Perkins, Chief Operations Officer at Sage, said: “As retail businesses from across the globe recover from the impact of Covid-19, trading online has gone from being a ‘nice-to-have’ to a ‘must-have’ for retailers.

Derek O’Carroll, CEO, Brightpearl, said: “We are delighted to build this new relationship with Sage to further support our retail customers and accelerate the strong presence that Sage and Brightpearl have in the UK and US.

This investment will allow us to expand the platform and provide even better service, increase our product innovation and our fabulous team globally.”
