We are using fishbowl to track parts and systems throughout our development process.

The interface could be easier to understand, but otherwise it works great.

Great for manufacturing and inventory management

Pros

Fishbowl and Fishbowl Go make it easy to process product from anywhere in your facility. The ability to receive or cycle/scrap inventory anywhere streamlines the process.

Pros

Great product and incredible support. Very knowledgeable staff - thanks to the support team! Never experienced any down time issues.

review

Pros

The tech support is always helpful. It is easy to navigate through the system.

Cons

To check out can be slow and sometimes lags.

Great Economical Inventory management system

It is a great inventory management system for small-medium sized companies, especially ones that don't have a ton of SKU's and have fairly simple reporting requirements. We have outgrown it and need an ERP, but that is to be expected :)

Pros

It does most of what we've needed it to do.

Cons

It can be sluggish, slow, and is very difficult to get custom reporting without having a jasper reports coder on staff

Inventory system is great; Checkoyt needs work

This is a great inventory system. The upgrade process needs improvement and the POS needs work. Support is always excellent.

Pros

The inventory system is great and richly functional. It is good for manufacturing. The plugins are excellent. Support is great!

Cons

Upgrading the system is problematic and usually requires support to address problems. The checkout program is slow, cumbersome & not designed for transactional retail stores.

Fishbowl Review

Pros

Customer support is amazing! They are always helpful and responsive!

Cons

I wish you could pull up the history of a product by using descriptions words as well as the part number and product group function.

Great product!

Pros

The support team has been very helpful, the workflow is pretty intuitive and the reports included are great. The customer representative helped us get set up and gave us a few tutorials. Overall great product!

Cons

It's pretty pricey compared with some other inventory management software on the market but you get what you pay for. We had to purchase a couple extra reports that we thought should have been included with the product.

fishbowl is impressive

excellent product, excellent support....really, really good.

Cons

FishBowl Inventory

Except for some of the reporting weakness it is a solid program that accomplishes just about everything you need for sales order processing, purchasing as well as inventroy control.

Pros

Easy of use - intuitive screens and facilitating data entry. Quick learning curve - was able to get most of my staff feeling comfortable with the program within a few hours.

Cons

Missing some what I consider standard inventory control reporting and serialize item control. Can be corrected but just adds cost and time.

Great Value and Exceptional Tool

Pros

Our decision to select Fishbowl has paid dividends in ways we did not anticipate, and has made our operation run like a machine. Its the natural advent to Quick Books, for companies commercializing new products, and due to its simplicity, makes for a speedy implementation, with minimal headaches. The resources at Fishbowl are very responsive, and know their product well !

Cons

Updating can be a bit tricky but nothing to be worried about. Fishbowl support always gets us taken care of

Inventory Genius

Pros

- I do really like the engineering approach of fishbowl inventory.
- It helps our team to fully maximize the skills that we have.

Cons

- By this moment, nothing to say negative for this software.
- but willing to explore more for future updates.

Great addition to our company!

Pros

Fishbowl has been great at tracking our inventory. There is not much that it can't do. And, if you find something they are always willing to look into the problem and fixing it. Their customer service is top notch. Rep is always available for us, quick to respond, and willing to go above and beyond.

Cons

I wish their reports were a little more customizable on our end. We are used to QB reports which are easily customized to our need with filters, etc. They do offer custom reports, but for a fee.

Stay away from FISHBOWL!!

Pros

It's fairly easy to use. You can add product images in the system. The icons are big. That's about it.

Cons

The support team is horrible. They don't know what they're doing. Custom reports are expensive and take weeks to do. And then, they're still Wrong!!! The freezes up daily. If you want to use any of their "plugins" like for shipping via FedEx, they're terrible! Tons of room for human error. The system is just plain "buggy". We finally upgraded to their 2017 version after they promised all of the bugs had been worked out. It's just as bad !!!!!!

Awesome Service!

Great for our inventory needs, adding and/or updating items is a breeze and any issues we've come across have been resolved promptly.

Pros

It's fairly easy to learn
Can customize to your company's specific needs
Compatible with Quickbooks

Cons

It's not the most intuitive
Some of their awesome features do need to be purchased separately

Easy to use for small business

Pros

This software can easily be adapted to your unique needs. Customer support is very helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

Not really a big deal but the manual makes it hard to figure things out on your own. It's faster to call support.

Fishbowl Inventory Experience

Pros

I really like the techniques and methods that this software use. From analyzing to technical approach.

Fishbowl thought of everything.

CSV Uploads of database files
