Fishbowl Inventory

Fishbowl's mission is to empower small and midsize businesses to oversee difficult business operations like inventory management and manufacturing with ease and at a low cost. Fishbowl is the most frequently requested production and warehousing management software.Fishbowl is a small and medium-sized business production and warehousing management solution. Material requirements planning (MRP), job shop floor control, work order administration, manufacturer orders, and bills of materials are all critical components.

I've utilised Fishbowl for task pricing because determining the exact cost of items can be challenging. That's why Fishbowl allows you to add all of the expenditures, such as machine time, components, and labour, to get a comprehensive picture of the situation. It is also goof in material requirement planning where we calculate planned order receipt and net requirements.

We use it for inventory management, manufacturing management, product and recipe management for procurement of individual ingredients, allocation, vehicle assignment, costs analysis, and event financials. This helps us move away from spreadsheets and move towards being in the 21st century. Fishbowl Manufacturing is applicable most to all industries. We were not able to use any other platform except for Fishbowl Manufacturing when it comes to what we needed from inventory management software.

Well suited for industries that need to manage inventory or industries that manage their building of goods through recipes and ingredients. This also works great for event management or task-by-task management of costs, profits, availability, purchase orders, and more. The platform is well suited for any industry that I can think of and I'm not aware of a situation where it doesn't work.

We use Fishbowl for all our production, purchasing, and order processing. We use Fishbowl in conjunction with QuickBooks.

Fishbowl is definitely an improvement if you are using QuickBooks; however, its lack of valuable reporting does not solve the problems of making production planning and manufacturing more efficient.

We are a wholesaler that supplies products to non-profits. We manage the shipment of those products. Each "bill to" may have multiple "ship to" addresses. Each client may ship to thousands of supporters. We import the orders and address data and ship the requested materials to the individuals, then aggregate the shipping data to bill the client.

Fishbowl is well suited for warehouse operations because you can control, monitor, report or view the progress of materials all the way from purchasing and receiving to the shipment and tracking of products. It integrates with major carriers and with QuickBooks so it does offer a suite that can support the entire operation. It allows for workflow monitoring, so particular groups or products can be tracked.

Fishbowl is used by the entire organization. It maintains our inventory and we use it for purchasing, entering sales orders and manufacturing orders. It ensures we have everything in one system and works with Quickbooks.

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