JL

Owner

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.”
JT

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.”
BS

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.”
JT

John T.

Software developer

Cons

“I contacted Shift4 to cancel my account and, after spending approximately one hour on hold, was told I had two choices: cancel immediately and pay a $1,000 early termination fee, or remain under contract for another 10 months.”
MM

Mike M.

Owner

“Within only a few hours, I received approximately 300 fraudulent card-testing attempts, forcing me to disable processing again.”
MM

Mike M.

Owner

“After 40 years of delivering food trying to change and have third company handling my delivery need, Barely started with skytab, at the same time with chownow to handle my delivery’s customers and found out that these two doesn’t work together, hoping they start soon”
