Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • Love the visual aids in identifying status of orders. Integration with Quickbooks is excellent and seamless.
  • The customer service group at FB understand manufacturing and are always there to guide you along the way. Great product, great price, great customer service.
  • Fishbowl's ease of use, excellent documentation, and use of wizards were key features we fell in love with. We have been using the software for two and a half months now and have never looked back.
  • Cons

  • The product is deceiving and lacks functionality for the processes we utilized for our company. They were unable to tailor the product to our needs even though they sold us on that in the beginning.
  • The system was very hard to follow and the initial integration was a nightmare. We had no customer service to help push us forward with a go live date and further onsite training was denied.
  • I tell all customers to minimize customization of products and keep them as close as possible to out of the box. This is difficult with business that are accustom to their old processes.

  • Pros

  • They listen to any suggestions to improve the program, plus the customer service is responsive and knowledgeable. It has been a great experience working with Realtrac and the support team.
  • It has also changed how we manage our inventory by consolidating our warehouse. Realtrac has proven to be an effective tool and everyone in the office enjoys its ease of use.
  • The likes, In short, the ability to build and track multi level BOM's while having Shop management, inventory visibility and scheduling features. These have long been the desirable features.
  • Cons

  • However it starts every Saturday and Sunday as well.adding to peoples hours who are not working, which in turn make trying to find the cost of manufacturing useless.
  • System setup for employees, workcenters, workstations is a nightmare. The worst is the reporting, little to no customization.
  • The display and layout was a bit confusing at first.
