Fishbowl for SMBs

There is a lot of support provided and a lot of good training videos.

Good ERP for a small to low medium sized company

Deciding to implement fishbowl for our company has been the best decision we have made. I am excited about all it can do and track.

Fishbowl is AWESOME

Could be a good fit/value for some with a few significant caveats

From the start they have been upfront and honest and having played around with giving me a very high price at first and then lowering it down by 50% like other companies that I dealt with. It’s nice to have the upfront and honest conversations without failing like I’m getting a sales pitch from, a company that just wants to make the sale. Fish bowls, seals representatives. Their internal staff have been very professional from start and throughout the process so far. 

Flooring Distributor using Fishbowl

North Park is a 3rd Party Logistics and Contract Packaging business, specializing in light manufacturing, warehousing, and B2C shipping services. We provide each customer the service and attention only the 'big guys' get at other fulfillment houses.

Our search for a new Inventory/Manufacturing software solution was prompted by our move away from a warehouse operation towards a 3rd party solution for small to medium-sized businesses, that are outgrowing their current warehousing capabilities.

Prior to using Fishbowl Inventory, we used 'MS Dynamics AX' (think 'GP' on steroids). Our management team has had decades of experience using everything from BaAn and SAP to high-end custom systems, and even home-grown customized solutions.

We chose Fishbowl Inventory primarily based on value, integration w/Quickbooks, and ease-of-use.

We've been running for more than 3 years, currently running ver 13.2 Manufacturing, Salespoint and Mobile Warehouse. We highly recommend staying updated with the current version, as improvements and features are continually being added.

Initial install and implementation took us less than a full day, including import of Customer, Item, BOM, etc. from QB. User training took a week or so for all our team to be up and running well enough to use it in live production. (Only one of us spent any time in the demo.)

For the most part, Fishbowl is simple and intuitive to use. There are very few places or processes where the desired next step isn't obvious. However, we've found many useful tips & tricks that we benefit from greatly, and most would have been learned with onsite training, but we declined initially because of our extensive background with other systems.

Customer support has been absolutely fantastic for us! We use the Live Chat option as first contact, and only rarely need to resort to phone calls. Despite the recorded phone tree that is standard today, Fishbowl's is about as short as it can be and still direct your call to the right group. Once there, it's always leave a message and wait for a call-back; but I've always gotten a call within 2 hours (usually less). For truly urgent needs, I've always been able to call back, get the operator and get in touch with Support that can at least identify the issue and suggest some troubleshooting I can do while awaiting Technical help.

In 3 years we've only had 1 instance of down-time due to system failure and that was resolved and we were up and running in 2hrs.

Biggest benefits of using Fishbowl for us are ease of implementation and use; power/reliability of the system; manufacturing capabilities (only shortcoming there is full MRP/CRP/ERP modules for planning, but for our size and complexity it does surpisingly well).

The biggest shortfall of Fishbowl for us is Reporting. The nature of our business doesn't lend itself well to many of the standard informational reports (operational reports are fine). However, Fishbowl is ODBC compliant, their reporting platform is open source (similar to Crystal Reports, but a bit steeper learning curve), and if you're not comfortable with SQL there are several 3rd party options for customizing reports.

Fishbowl is an integral part of our company process, we use it daily with little to no hickups.

Fishbowl a great choice for small process manufacturing companies

User Friendly ERP System

Good overall, tech support issues with experience levels.

Fishbowl Review

If you are going to charge this much for a product it should look like it was made in this century, it should have all of the modern data interchange features expected from a modern application, and support should be fantastic. We have started looking at alternatives and will NOT be renewing.

Essentially no support unless you complain to your sales rep

Very poor overall experience.

We were sold on a promise that one year later, has yet to be delivered, and has caused a lot of damage to the company. 

Would not recommend this software 

Unstable, unreliable and inefficient

Being able to operate above and beyond to what we used to. We can now compete with our competitors

FB has abled our business to grow from a home based co. to a 10,000ft fully functioning warehouse

Overall, my experience with Fishbowl has been very positive and I'm looking forward to utilizing all of its potential!

Fishbowl is a powerful tool for any business.

Too Expensive, Unintuitive, and Aesthetically Unpleasing

Great system that has helped our company thrive

It provided a decent ERP for the price but is definitely geared to low transaction volumes.

Fishbowl Good For SMBs Wanting An On-Premises ERP, But Prepare To Outgrow It.

Inventory syncing  with Amazon, Ebay and Shopify makes our life easier. ORder processing in Fishbowl is another winner. Great for the price...

Inventory Management

Thank you so much for leaving this review, George. We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience. 

The service has been very good!  Overall it is a very good great option for manufacturers as well as distributors!

A Very Good Manufacturing Inventory and Order Management System!

Fishbowl Inventory was a great success in our first year of utilization.  The biggest and easiest improvement was the vast reduction of manual order duplication, as we were able to have orders submitted from our website directly into Fishbowl, and then have sales orders pushed directly into Quick Books on the back end of the system. As we learn to better use Fishbowl, we are more accurate with reporting to our customer's accurate data, and also keep our sales representatives up to date with inventory levels, pricing, and order tracking on behalf of their customers.

For the record - our small seed company grew with the help of Fishbowl Inventory!

In the knick of time!

It has been very positive from the beginning. Support has been great as well as my sales manager.

Sales, Point of Sales, Inventory, & Manufacturing

Customer support is pretty good for getting you on your feet if you have a database crash or simple problem, but they are often hard to get a hold of, long wait times, and again there is no flexibility with this program whatsoever.  You WILL find many annoying things that they just refuse to address in development.  

Fishbowl is Not ready for medium to larger companies

We are still too early in the installation of the new FB so there is nothing to comment on yet

After using for 5 years, we are implementing the newest FB Software, seems great

Your senior support team like Brison are what keeps FB working at an acceptable rate.
Overall, we finally see improvements in customer support.

Overall review of FB

I will not use your company again in future. 

Over price and careless account manager

It has been good, and is getting better all the time. Telephone support and dedicated Account Reps are excellent.

Flexible and Full Featured

Warehouse Manager

Our company evaluated about half a dozen different inventory management systems for features, support, ease of operation, price, etc. Fishbowl was the hands down winner, and remains the champion.

Supply Chain and Operations Manager

If you need to improve your operations this system is great and its worth every penny.
