Fishbowl Product Details

Fishbowl was one of the first solutions to be granted Intuit's Gold Developer status, the highest honor bestowed on third-party software developers. This has given Fishbowl exclusive access to QuickBooks for more than a decade, allowing Fishbowl to integrate seamlessly with the accounting solution and become the #1 selling inventory management solution among QuickBooks users.

In addition to its main manufacturing and warehouse management software, Fishbowl offers additional tools to help with other aspects of business:

  • Fishbowl Go is an Android and iOS app that helps with barcode scanning, picking, packing, shipping, ordering, and other warehouse tasks.
  • Fishbowl Anywhere allows you to access the Fishbowl client and server via Web browser, effectively turning any Internet-connected device into an inventory management tool.
  • Fishbowl Checkout is a point of sale solution that lets businesses accept credit cards and other payments from customers, and automatically add them to their inventory and accounting records.
  • Fishbowl Hosted Services offers server hosting and data protection so that authorized personnel can access sensitive files and software from virtually anywhere.
  • Fishbowl Time is an online time clock solution that employees can use to clock in and out, and managers can use to handle payroll, PTO hours, scheduling, and more. Plus, it integrates with Fishbowl Manufacturing to accurately add labor costs to work orders.
  • Fishbowl ShipExpress integrates with all major shippers to automate the picking, packing, and shipping process and also to obtain signature confirmation upon delivery of shipments.

Fishbowl Pricing

The price for Fishbowl's software starts at $4,395, which is a fraction of the cost of ERPs and other inventory management solutions used by large corporations.

The base package comes with two users, and each additional user costs extra on a scale in which the more users you purchase, the less each one costs. For more details on Fishbowl's pricing, visit https://www.fishbowlinventory.com/products/pricing or contact a Fishbowl representative.

We worked with Taylor and Madison several times today to resolve a few year end issues as we prepare for the holiday break. Both support specialists were friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us get these nagging issues wrapped up quickly. Thank you Taylor and Madison for your enthusiastic help and great customer service. Happy Holidays to you both and the entire Fishbowl family.

Verified Review

Madison Forsgren on their services team has gone above and beyond my expectations for service on two separate occasions. She was personable, knowledgeable, informative, and determined to help us overcome obstacles during my company's transition to Fishbowl. Also, Ty Workman in sales has consistently gone above and beyond his normal scope of work to resolve issues for us when needed. Not a flawless software, but with employees like these two, Fishbowl has more than met our expectations.

Our Fishbowl Representative Madison displayed excellent customer service and exceptional subject knowledge while assisting our team today. Right away she was able to isolate and discuss possible issues. Through the course of the call she was very helpful and courteous to our concerns. The resolution was overall simple, our team still greatly appreciated the results as we were able to get back to our regular day to day. The call was completed in less than 5 minutes after hold time.
Kudos to Madison’s for her subject knowledge, efficient service and personable helpful attitude.

Fishbowl Tech Support is always very helpful and attentive to our needs. Most often than not, the corrections we need to do are unavailable without additional assistance from a database technician but Travis was very patient with me and took the time to listen and understand what I needed and got the necessary assistance and serviced our issues thoroughly and without any complications.
