### "Look elsewhere if you want quality support."

April 26, 2017

4.0

Am now aware of better options in the market. It's too bad that we have so much time & money invested in using Fishbowl. Would recommend others to look elsewhere. Very disappointing.

Pros

Inventory manager likes options and functionality. Have been using for two years with mixed feelings because of support.

Cons

Product support is nothing short of horrible. Much frustration getting answers to issues in a timely manner. Our salesman was deceptive. Told me what I wanted to hear right up to running my credit card. Then refused to give me the information promised. What a shame.

### "Fishbowl as an Inventory Control System "

May 7, 2015

4.0

Pros

The support of the staff in order to fix issues is great, but this means you have to be ready to deal with a software with many limitations.

Cons

The reports from FB is limited and every single time that you need an extra you have to pay for customization. They haven't integrate the scanners on the picking area, that limited the chance for better productivity organization.

Pros

Its ability to tie together with quickbooks.

### "Have had issues with the program."

April 27, 2017

3.0

Pros

User friendly and integrated with QuickBooks. Can have reports specific to what we need in regards to having lot # and expiration dates as well as multiple lines when receiving.

Cons

Have had many issues. Locks up when exporting to QuickBooks. Won't let us close out some purchase and sales orders if still have open items. Have had trouble getting inventory out of stock.

### "Customer Support rep Travis was fantastic"

April 24, 2018

4.0

Mostly I am filling this out because Travis, Tech Chat Support, was able to give me resolution on an issue I had been having, and that guy knows his stuff! Courteous and kind, he led me right to the solution, seemingly effortlessly. He is an absolute professional and asset. Please let him know what a great job he is doing.

Pros

It is fairly straight forward and easy to use in general. Navigating around the modules is simple and intuitive.

Cons

Not being able to build my own ad-hoc reports is a big drawback. I'd like to select various data already in the system to report on besides what the preloaded reports are. I'd hate to pay for a custom report that I might want to reformat down the road with more or less data.

### "Fast response from tech's and frequent follow ups if problem is not solved. "

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

Easy to navigate once user learns software. The Tech's are super helpful if an issue arise. Once Tech spend almost 15 hours in 1 week helping me fix the issue.

Cons

A lot of redundant data entry for time and labor sync. The software is a bit difficult to learn. It takes sometime to learn.

### "New User ramping up"

June 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

Navigation in the software is easy, I have not used and other software like this.

Cons

This is our first time implementing a computer based inventory system and therefore have a lot of parts with zero units on hand. It should be easy to search for and find all parts with zero inventory. But for some reason one cannot do that.

January 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

There are multiple applications for the software and it is easy for multiple people to use. It integrates nicely with Quickbooks also. It is great for manufacturing.

The support could be better, but luckily I have not had to use it very often.

### "Fishbowl review"

May 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

Good in managing inventory since it gives you figures with regards to the remaining raw mats or wip (work-in process). You can easily use it even as a first timer.

Cons

My concern is the interface itself that it makes me dizzy because too much module are being projected or seen.

### "Cost Effective Inventory, Order, and Manufacturing software"

May 26, 2017

4.0

The biggest benefit was seeing exactly where we needed to be more efficient. We didn't track our vendors well before and now we know exactly how long it takes to get items we've ordered and how long it takes us to manufacture the items and get them back out the door.

Pros

The software is great for keeping track of our inventory and our manufacturing processes. We know exactly what can be shipped and it has increased efficiency quite a bit.

Cons

Reporting could use some work, it is a bit clunky. The reports are there but I've found the best way to work with them is to download the .csv and work with it in a spreadsheet. They have services to create custom reports if necessary.

### "Good Inventory Management software"

August 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

User-friendly, easy to monitor and manage our goods. Their customer representative are very hands on to listen in all of our inquiries.

Cons

Fishbowl are mainly focus in controlling only the inventory, it would be better if it is also link to other tasks such as job orders.

Fishbowl Inventory is a great system for inventory management. In comparison to the software I was using before, there are several advantages. The most useful is the automatic calculation of the landed cost of products. Simply tell the system what your costs were to bring the merchandise to the warehouse, and how you want the cost to be calculated, and it will do all the work. Another advantage is that the whole receiving and picking process is much more complete and detailed, with receiving and picking lists, packing lists, and many other features to ensure successful inventory management. Another great feature is Fishbowl Mobile Warehouse, a great way to make your inventory database easily available throughout your entire facility. There is no need to go to third parties for the software, and it works very well. To close the review, I'd like to mention the tech support team at Fishbowl. They are incredible, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They are easily one of the best tech support teams I've ever worked with.

### "Quick and helpful"

April 17, 2017

4.0

Pros

The customer service is very quick to respond and helpful in both fixing and explaining issues. The product itself is very intuitive to use.

Cons

The Inventory lists - I wish there was an option where you could only print the inventory under a certain location group (including inventory that has qty 0).

Of the other application the company uses i get the least number of calls for Fishbowl questions. I the rare case something does happen when i call support they all speak clear proper English and know how to fix things. They don't follow scrips and get things back quickly.

### "Used Fishbowl for a couple years many years ago and then came back!"

September 2, 2016

4.5

Pros

Comprehensive inventory control. Pick, Pack, and Ship. Their customer service is excellent (especially Jason who went above and beyond with my Mac issues)!

Cons

Not web based. All of my business systems are completely web based and locationless. So I would love if they could transition and/or offer an option to do so with Fishbowl.

### "Fishbowl has been a great addition to our company."

November 25, 2015

4.0

Pros

It has allowed us to have great visibility into all aspects of our inventory from the moment raw materials arrive to the moment finished goods ship out the door. The software is easy to use and technical support is just a phone call away when needed.

Cons

I can't think of any negatives. It does what we expected it to do.

### "The software is easy to use, powerful in its functionality, and even helps out small companies."

August 14, 2017

5.0

The software has greatly streamlined and centralized our inventory management and purchasing systems.

Pros

The software streamlines a lot of decision making in terms of what stock is needed when. Even with our system where the majority of parts we have are non-sales items, being able to track a system from start to finish is incredibly helpful.

Cons

Our units involve a lot of custom features, and the software isn't as intuitive for situations like that. We don't carry stock of our final products, just our raw materials, and while the program is able to handle this, it's clearly not designed for that scenario.
