### "FishBowl Reveiw"

February 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

The software is easy to use and fulfills our needs. Once everything is setup correctly, the software integrates seamlessly into our EDI, shipping and accounting software. We are about to integrate the eCommerce plugins

Cons

If someone accidentally reconciles a PO prior to the landed cost being entered, you can not adjust the unit cost of the lot. You have to adjust out the inventory and redo the PO.

May 1, 2018

### "Work with it daily entering orders, and shipping orders"

November 14, 2017

4.0

Easier order entry

Pros

It lets you pull inventory from multiple warehouses for an order, and commit inventory from each location. Easy sales order entry, easy invoicing.

Cons

You have to purchase every module that you will be needing. If later on you expand and need more functionality, you have to foot out more money.

### "Pleasant"

October 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really like how whatever I want to do is possible, and if it isn't possible, I can contact support and the support team makes it possible.

Cons

It is not really a con, but it is irritating how the plugin team basically never answers your call and you are constantly stuck waiting hours for them to call you back.

### "Demo was Awesome but actual performance awful"

October 13, 2017

2.0

During sales demo program does everything you need it to but once paid for good luck. training team could learn from sales team. Only integrates with Quickbook if all conditions are perfect. Not reliable to update daily. Waste of money.

Pros

Sales connected with inventory is great. Inventory management window works great. Sales team knows ins and outs of program.

Cons

Integrates with quickbooks when conditions are right. Training team knows less about functionality than sales team. Serial number tracking very cumbersome.

### "Track your Inventory on Fingertips"

July 21, 2018

4.0

Improvement options always are on the way of every software based on industry practices. Overall performance & benefits are good. Near to Perfect for small & Medium sized Industries.

Pros

An Easy to Use customizable user-friendly inventory management software. One-time cost which is also less than of any other software at its level.

Cons

It has simple and only one reorder calculation. It cannot forecast purchase of inventory based on historical entries made in it. Updates interrupts our customizations.

July 29, 2013

Leinco Technologies is a manufacturer of thousands of life science research products and has been in business since 1992. I was looking for a solution to give all my employees an easier option to request raw-materials, manage multiple types of inventory levels, and create economic reports with ease. We still currently have an in-house database-driven solution that does not connect to QuickBooks with a lot of the WIP inventory control, but it is slow and makes the day less productive. My review is simple, if you have an existing company with thousands of SKUs and you try to integrate and use this software with QuickBooks I would stop. The customer service and technical team after a purchased technical set-up help has completely let me down and is unresponsive because they to can not figure out the solution to why income accounts are going in as expenses when transferred between systems (this is just one of many account transfer errors). Its sad because I was looking for a system, and still am today, to streamline and make order processing/inventory control easier. The technical team is lacking and have not responded to any of my questions. Be careful, is my only suggestion when considering this software package because it is expensive and difficult to set up.

### "Interface is extremely easy to interact with and navigate"

March 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Quickbooks integration is OK. Could use more flexibility in product/service/class account mapping but overall it does the job. The software works pretty well about 98% of the time.

Cons

I sometimes feel support or service should be improved in this competetive market. But rest they are all good.

July 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Integration with QuickBooks is simple and easy to manage. The requirements for submitting a review are incredibly stupid and a waste of time

Cons

### "Honest Opinion-"

August 10, 2016

2.0

Found Fishbowl while looking for a system to improve inventory management, forecast product needs/growth, automate shipping/receiving/purchasing, value of inventory (the list goes on). It "supposedly" can do all of that stuff but it just isn't... Support = worst I have ever dealt with (I know more than they do after trying to figure it out for a few months). They take your money (Thousands of $$) for the initial purchase and then leave you hanging.

Pros

Ideologically it is the solution to all your business logistics/needs.

Cons

Support (terrible)

December 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

Support service. The customer support is always timely and the tech team is always pleasant. Great experience overall.

Cons

Mac compatibility is my least favorite aspect about the software. Also this should be a SaaS solution as opposed to desktop.

Pros

Able to handle large amounts of inventory items and track assembled products.

Its a good system with a lot of features for Supply chain management, warehouse management, inventory management, order fulfillment, picking module and shipping module. It also has integration with quickbooks and woocommerce a wordpress based ecommerce platform.

All the mentioned features makes it very useful. The system is module based and very user friendly and provides unique features at much competitive price then all other vendors. They provide hosting envrironment where in the FB system using a browser.

Cons

I could not find any so far.
