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 SkuVault
One of the main reasons we got Skuvault for inventory control system was because the need to integrate it with Bigcommerce. We chose to use this since it was able to provide many things we couldn't get out of BigCommerce alone. Such as sales reports, and a running history of …

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

We needed to figure out how to run both the retail store and the online system from the warehouse. With their help we were able to run 2 different "stores" from the same warehouse. With their assistance we were able to separate the two, and not have to worry about over selling an item or not being able to fulfill and order because it was place from the other location.

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.

  • It really needs to have customizable access as their default options don't quite fit our requirements for different users.

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.

Their support has been MORE than amazing. I work with them quite often to work in ways to improve how we use our system and learning all about the new things that are coming. The support staff always does their best and usually we are able to find a solution to the issues. And if are unable to find it on the 1st try pass it up to a specialist who quickly works to help you solve it
