bring in

Cause to enter

To bring in is to cause something to enter or arrive—you bring in the mail, bring in groceries, bring in a consultant.

The phrase extends to generating or producing: The new product line brings in millions annually.

In legal contexts, a jury brings in a verdict.

To bring someone in can mean to arrest them or recruit them for a project: They brought her in to fix the marketing strategy.
