About Fishbowl

Fishbowl is inventory and manufacturing management software built around work orders, bills of materials, and material requirements tracking. The vendor's site describes modules for multi-warehouse inventory, barcode scanning via a mobile app called Fishbowl GO, lot and serial traceability, landed-cost accounting, reorder point automation, and an AI assistant that the vendor says can draft purchase orders, work orders, and manufacturing orders and reschedule jobs.

The product is positioned for small to midsize manufacturers and distributors, including growing businesses managing multiple warehouses. The site emphasizes integration with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, and Xero for accounting, alongside ecommerce, shipping, EDI, and CRM connections. A hosted version is mentioned, alongside on-premise-style desktop use tied to QuickBooks Desktop, indicating deployment can vary by customer setup.

Pricing is described only in general terms: the site says pricing is per-user and covers unlimited locations, orders, and 3PL connections without extra charges, but no specific price figures are listed on the pages reviewed. Implementation is said to take two to six weeks with in-house staff. The site does not spell out how each listed integration technically works, and does not publish a specific price point, so buyers would need to contact Fishbowl directly for a quote.
