Fishbowl Inventory vs. Veeqo

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

If you are an online seller using multiple channels e.g. Amazon, website, eBay, etc. this is essential. All orders arrive in one place. By pre-entering all your item dimensions and weights, you can book the shipping with a courier using a single click. This saves literally hours of time each day and allows you to spend time focusing on growing your business and answering emails rather than just booking shipping. This alone makes veeqo essential.

• 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.

• When creating invoice templates etc, guidelines would help everything line up
• When using the search function, have search check the notes section as well

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.

Fishbowl could be tailored to accommodate our needs and to integrate with other providers to offer the seamless work flow. Others that I investigated were much more expensive or couldn't do the tasks we were requiring. The final analysis was that Fishbowl offered a cost effective way for us to manage our business

The staff found ShipStation hard to use. We are struggling to set it up and found that the interface was not intuitive like veeqos was. We were doubtful that it could outperform veeqo in the main areas which are important to us, usability and time-saving. Veeqo also has a clean UI.
