What b.solutions does

b.solutions is a privately held, cloud-based system integration specialist founded in 2011 and operated under the legal name Business Solutions in the Cloud Limited, with its primary entity incorporated in Jersey and a secondary UK entity in England and Wales. The company designs, builds and operates integrations that connect the systems underpinning retail businesses — ecommerce platforms (notably Shopify and WooCommerce), ERP and inventory systems (Brightpearl, NetSuite, Cin7 Core, Sage, Inventory Planner), accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks Online), WMS and 3PL providers (Peoplevox, Mintsoft, ShipBob, Torque, ILG, plus 200+ others), CRM and marketing platforms (Salesforce, Emarsys, HubSpot), marketplaces (Walmart, Wayfair, Etsy, Next), PIM and EDI (Akeneo, SPS Commerce, TrueCommerce) — using CSV, XML, EDI, API, REST, SOAP and GraphQL protocols.

The core product portfolio centers on a suite of 11+ proprietary Brightpearl Apps (Order Import, Product Import, Inventory Transfers, Sales Credit Auto-Completion, Customer Notifications, Sales Order Auto-Splitting, BOM, External BOM++, Supplier Integrations, Trading Partners, Data Exports) and a growing set of named integration products including the Brightpearl | Shopify Advanced Integration (publicly launched May 2025), the Shopify Forward Allocation App, the Brightpearl | QuickBooks Online Integration, the Brightpearl | Mintsoft and Peoplevox integrations, and the Brightpearl | Salesforce Integration. The firm complements these packaged offerings with custom-built apps for unique client requirements (e.g., a Finance Export App for Monticello and a jersey personalisation app for PUMA UK). The company maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification, uses an ISO 27001-accredited password vault, and operates in compliance with EU GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA.

b.solutions generates revenue through three streams: (1) subscription-based recurring fees for hosted connector software (12-month terms, 30-day cancellation notice, 99.9% uptime guarantee); (2) time-based consultancy services for system evaluation, architecture design and implementation guidance; and (3) one-time development fees for bespoke software and integrations. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with discovery calls and demos as the primary engagement method, supplemented by a formal partner referral program, joint webinars (e.g., with Brightpearl), and a case-study-driven content marketing strategy. The firm serves 400+ merchants globally via a 100% remote delivery team of 60 across the UK, India, Philippines and Canada, with named customers spanning enterprise (PUMA UK, Issey Miyake UK), mid-market (ROKA London, Dorwest Herbs, Bouncepad), SMB (Piglet in Bed) and nonprofit (Thomas Jefferson Foundation / Monticello) segments.

Direct peers

• ChannelEngine: Marketplace integration platform connecting retailers to global marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, bol, etc.) with ERP sync. Directly comparable to b.solutions' marketplace/EDI integration offering for omnichannel retail.
• Patchworks: UK-based iPaaS platform that connects ERP, ecommerce, POS, WMS, and marketplaces for retailers. Most direct competitor to b.solutions with similar target customer (UK retail), similar product structure (connector platform + integration services), and overlap in ERP partnerships.
• Feedonomics: Feed management and product data syndication platform for ecommerce and marketplaces. Comparable to b.solutions' marketplace/EDI and product data export capabilities, with focus on large catalog retailers.
• HotWax Commerce: Enterprise commerce OMS and integration specialist with deep Shopify and ERP (including Brightpearl/NetSuite) expertise. Comparable to b.solutions in vertical focus (retail/commerce), technology stack, and target mid-market-to-enterprise customers.
• Linnworks: Multichannel commerce operations platform with inventory, listing, and order management across marketplaces and ERPs. Comparable to b.solutions in retail/ecommerce focus and connector-based architecture, though more productized.
• Extensiv (formerly 3PL Central / ShipBob partner ecosystem): WMS and 3PL technology provider with integration platform connecting 3PLs, retailers, and commerce/ERP systems. Directly comparable to b.solutions' 200+ WMS/3PL integration capabilities and retail logistics focus.

Broad incumbents

• Celigo: Established enterprise iPaaS platform with broad ERP/commerce connector library. Competes with b.solutions in the retail integration layer but serves a much wider market including finance, HR, and supply chain, not specialized in retail.
• Make (formerly Integromat): General-purpose visual iPaaS platform enabling workflow automation and app integrations. Provides comparable integration capability but as a horizontal self-serve platform rather than bespoke retail-specialist services.
• Zapier: Widest-reaching iPaaS platform with thousands of app connectors and broad consumer/business adoption. Adjacent to b.solutions in addressing integration needs but serves SMB/mid-market self-serve use cases rather than bespoke retail ERP work.

Emerging players

• OneStock: Order Management System and inventory unification platform for omnichannel retailers with strong European market presence. Comparable to b.solutions' inventory/order sync capabilities, more productized, smaller scale.
