Chose Fishbowl Inventory
Arena is very powerful and user friendly - but not an inventory control system - yet the bill of materials input far exceeds that of Fishbowl.

Fishbowl has improved in the 3 years we have had it. However, there are things with Fishbowl that are still difficult, ie. splitting an …

Chose Ordoro
We looked into Stitch Labs, but it wasn't quite as simple and straightforward to set up and use as Ordoro. It also didn't have all the features and integrations we needed. Orodoro's drop-ship feature was important for us, and Stitch Labs didn't have this feature. We did like …

Chose Ordoro
Ordoro was easily connected to our eCommerce platform, and at the time, it was the only shipping platform that would sync with our system. Now ShipStation does as well, and from what I can see, they are VERY comparable. Highly recommend ordoro for ease of use, and the price …

The purchasing function is very good - tracking and linking parts to sales orders, shortage reports, and part summaries.

Odoro is great for managing orders within an eCommerce platform. It can manage 100s of orders per day easily. Syncing does seem to take a bit longer when you have 100s of orders in a day, but still very intuitive to use. Once you do a few orders, it is incredibly easy to use and easy to make shipping templates/profiles for your most common package types/sizes/weights.

  • Cost Control and Variation.
Read full review
  • Ordoro manages inventory across multiple platforms very well. If you sell an item on one channel, it reduces your told inventory and updates it across all of your other channels so you never risk going out of stock on an item.
  • Ordoro is awesome for bringing all of your orders into one central location which streamlines shipping processes. They also provide reduced shipping costs for most well-known shipping carriers.
  • Ordoro has incredible technical support and customer care team. Unlike other similar products, when you call Ordoro, you talk to a real live person who is never reading a script and always friendly and happy to help with any questions you may have.

Cons
  • Reporting: Many of the reports that are provided for free with Fishbowl are useless in the context of everyday manufacturing and production planning. Some reports provide inaccurate information. In order to use get useful and correct reports, outside developers must be paid (a new or modified report may cost anywhere from $150 to $2000)
  • Customer service can be hit or miss. In our experience, a knowledgeable person is rarely available, but for the most part customer service has no idea how real manufacturing works to provide reasonable answers to fix Fishbowl shortfalls.

  • We would love for the ability to have more control of the packing slip templates (ie. add barcodes for order numbers on the packing slip etc.).
  • Wish it would sync to our eCommerce platform a bit more often than 1x per hour. We can manually sync, but that takes a few minutes.
  • Wish it would connect to the other software platform we use to manage our Amazon orders, Monsoon Commerce.

Support Rating
Originally the support for Fishbowl was very poor. It was hard to get anyone to help. In the last 12 - 14 months, it has greatly improved and if it continues this way I would certainly rate it higher.

In the six years we've used Ordoro, their customer service has been responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a robust support center for DIY answers, and honestly, we don't need support often because their product is so reliable. But when we need to reach a human for additional support, they have always been excellent.

We used and tried numerous platforms before landing with Ordoro. Pricing was a HUGE factor for us, but in addition to offering incredible pricing options, we couldn't help but acknowledge Ordoro's support team and their willingness to answer all of our millions of questions. They truly went above and beyond and unlike some of the competitors who simply got us signed up and integrated and then dropped us, Ordoro is STILL always there when we need them. They treat us incredible and act like they actually value us as customers and care what we have to say. They listen to our suggestions, if we have them, and they are always trying to improve their product and offer even more integrations and features. Some of the competitor's solutions were also too complex and took months to set up correctly/properly. With Ordoro we were up and running in no time.
