### "No support. You are on your own after you buy it"

March 28, 2016

3.0

I haven't been able to use it because there is no support. I have been stuck on several integration issues. You will not get a person on the phone and if you leave a message you can expect a call in a day or two. Good luck being in your office or near your computer when they do call back. Spent 20K on this and we are stuck. They have a chat feature, they do respond but only with links to support sites. The support sites can get you out of trouble but if you get stuck you are done.

### "User friendly"

February 8, 2016

4.0

The software is easy to learn and follows a logical pattern. All our users are liking Fishbowl. It is providing us with information we want and is very user friendly. The only con so far are the reports are limited and are not flexible. Customer Service has been excellent. They respond quickly and they are able to understand our specific needs and applications to help resolve unexpected issues. They are extremely friendly and have done an excellent job getting us up and running.

### "Fishbowl Inv. Software"

January 19, 2017

5.0

Fishbowl is unequaled in customer support. The software itself is very intuitive to use. Depending on your industry it has pros and cons, but we've found it highly useful as both a POS software and in its manufacturing/inventory capabilities.

They are always coming out with new ideas, like a podcast and online chats. It is a great anonymous way to get workplace advice.

Tracking our inventory for faster customer response.

Pros

It can track all our operations in one source. We can make automated RMA processes and take away the dual system to insure cores are returned.

### " It's a good inventory system overall."

December 22, 2015

4.0

PROS: Customer support is always prompt in returning calls and very helpful. I like the UPS ready feature, there are some issues with it, but overall its pretty good. Very user friendly, training staff is excellent. CONS: The chat option is kind of worthless, no one on there can ever help and refer you to call. That there are some features that cannot be turned off. I don't like how the chat option is usually unhelpful. The locations/groups are pretty messy.

Ateb Inc. is a Pharmacy software and server development company. Prior to Fishbowl Inventory, we really did not have a reliable inventory tracking system. We purchased Fishbowl in 2008. Installation was a breeze, it integrates with Quick Books, and is extremely reliable. Fishbowl support is very helpful and knowledgeable. Since installing Fishbowl Inventory and Fishbowl Mobile Warehouse, inventory loss has decreased by around 63%. Best investment we have made.

### "We have been very disappointed, especially with customer service"

January 6, 2015

3.0

Pros

I like the ability to see every angle of your business. I was very excited about getting this product, but because of the service, I am quite disappointed. It is a decent product, but without any support, it's very frustrating.

Cons

Customer service! They will never answer; you must leave a message for them. If you're lucky, they'll call you back that day.

November 24, 2015

The customer support given for the product was excellent. My rep was always available, even returning calls when he was not working and was very patient in listening and providing advise. As with any software, every business will have its on set of issue that requires tweaks and modifications. The customer support listening to our concerns, took the time to understand the business and truly partnered with us the whole through installation and setup.

### "Good Bang for Your Buck"

Pretty easy to use. Keeps excellent track of inventory, even when making kits or ordering in cases and using eaches. The reporting system is lacking, but most reports are done through Quickbooks anyway.

Excellent system for controlling inventory and manufacturing. It is very flexible, allowing multiple BOM with multiple Raws. More Ideal for single item build, as it does not allow for a waste factoring.

### "Tech support is outstanding!"

June 24, 2015

5.0

Pros

Tech support is 'down to earth' in explaining how to use the program.

Cons

Would be nice to consolidate some of the information into one report rather than having different reports for each category.

We have been using Fishbowl here at Cascade Winery for nearly 3 years now. Fishbowl has eliminated so many issues that plagued us when using Quickbooks for inventory control and manufacturing. There was a small learning curve, maybe 3 to 6 months, but it was nothing in relationship to using QB. We like Fishbowl and wouldn't live without it now. For a small to medium size business, Fishbowl is the perfect way to control inventory and manufacturing.

### "Fantastic Inventory Tool, Great for eCommerce Sellers"

December 13, 2018

5.0

I have only recently discovered Fishbowl but intend to purchase this software.

Pros

Fishbowl integrates with QuickBooks and is perfect for an eCommerce seller who uses Amazon and eBay to sell various items. Knowing what items sell fast and need to be a main focus in my inventory vs. which ones are slow movers is very helpful!!

Cons

I found nothing to dislike about Fishbowl.

### "User friendly and simple for a beginner ERP system"

September 13, 2016

4.0

Pros

Fishbowl is very user friendly, has great support, and great integrations with our other systems.

Cons

Reporting isn't very malleable (had to learn sql), for a company with inventory in it's name I am disappointed with the cycle count process and that you can only view inventory valuation for current date, could use better manufacturing scheduling

We've been using Fishbowl for a few years now. Our favorite feature is the ability to have multiple pricing levels for multiple products and multiple customers. The options are limitless. We also love the ability to buy in bulk, case or pallet quantities and sell by individual units. I think the reporting tool needs some work, but since Fishbowl is so easily integrated with Quickbooks, many of our reports are run through Quickbooks.

Pros

Make a job much easier for us.
