“Fishbowl Warehouse is the best warehouse management system for small to medium-sized organizations”

We Branding Design Pro use Fishbowl. At first sight, it seems to be just another inventory control system. Yet, if you examine it more closely, you'll see that it offers every SCM and warehouse management capability your company would require. Furthermore, it enables you to examine warehouse-specific trends and draw useful conclusions from them. Order fulfillment is facilitated by the connectivity with USPS that it includes.

In our company GiftAFeeling Inc, we have used Fishbowl multiple times a day since 2016. It provides more than enough capability for small & medium size manufacturers & distributors with a fraction of the cost of regular ERP. If you are a QB user and you have inventory, order, or purchase management, this is what you need. The software is easy to use and easy to deploy. Great extension for QB users. It can also connect Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and Shipping management such as Shiprush, etc. The reports provided are too basic, no help documentation to create your own reports. If you need detailed or custom reports you have to purchase them apart. It can become expensive to add extra users or have custom add-ons to the product. In Inventory, you have 2 types of materials: Part and Product. This is somehow confusing for new employees.

We VEM Tooling use Fishbowl Manufacturing. Fishbowl Manufacturing offers a wide range of features, including inventory management, production scheduling, order tracking, and more. It also includes features like barcode scanning, lot and serial number tracking, and work order management, which can help streamline production and reduce errors. Fishbowl Manufacturing is highly customizable, which means it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. This can help ensure that you are able to use the software in a way that makes sense for your unique workflows and processes. Fishbowl Manufacturing can be expensive, especially for small businesses. The software requires a significant up-front investment, and ongoing costs can add up over time. It can be complex, and there may be a steep learning curve for new users. It may take some time to get up to speed with all of the software's features and functionality.
