Pros

“It streamlines inter-site transfers, eliminates manual tracking and guesswork, and empowers our team to manage inventory efficiently with a few simple clicks.”

Scott M.

Project Delivery Specialist

“By improving inventory accuracy and asset utilization, Fishbowl helps reduce operational costs by preventing duplicate purchases, minimizing tool loss, and optimizing stock levels across the organization.”

Scott M.

Project Delivery Specialist

“It offers great inventory accuracy, manages multiple locations, and supports manufacturing workflows like bills of materials and work orders.”

Hannah J.

Analyst

Pros

“It's replaced a lot of manual spreadsheet work with data-driven forecasting that accounts for seasonality and sell-through across a fairly complex SKU range — multiple colors, sizes, and categories.”

Georges S.

Operations manager

“Inventory Management has become nearly automatic with this program with their great Data Analysis with flow through rates per item & Replenishment/Purchase Order guidelines.”

Dan K.

Operations Coordinator

“Stock positions, inbound deliveries and sales data all flow through cleanly, so the buying recommendations are based on what's actually in the warehouse rather than a snapshot from last week.”

Tom O.

Managing Director

Cons

“There is no customer credit (balance) managent, and it is difficult to management payment across sales orders. Although the system has price rules but it doesn't our this simple requirement: setting up a minimum price for a product and any sell price under the minimum can not sold.”

John T.

Software developer

“In fact before Fishbowl, we would consistently oversell items we didn't even have on hand because the paper records always got messed up. But since Fishbowl keeps track of all the movement of those parts/products, I no longer have to call upset customers telling them their orders have to be canceled.”

Brion S.

Lead Product and Design Manager

“I had two cases where our data was messed up due to mistake on our end and I contacted Fishbowl and the support team was able to solve our issues in timely manner.”

John T.

Software developer

Cons

“Understanding error messages given by inventory planner is not the most intuitive. While I understood the basis of what was causing the error, I had no way of identifying the specifics of the error without first reaching out to customer service. ”

Claiborne H.

Brand Coordinator

“Previously all of this work was done in spreadsheets, but rapid business expansion and an increase in suppliers made this process increasingly laborious.”

James B.

Director

“some of the user interfaces are to cluttered with almost too many metrics.”

Reece B.
