Fishbowl

Fishbowl makes inventory management software for businesses that keep their books in QuickBooks or Xero. It follows stock, orders and production in one platform, with barcode scanning to speed up warehouse tasks.

What Fishbowl offers

• Order management — sales orders, transfers, returns and RMAs linked to live stock counts, with product bundles and custom pricing tiers.
• Purchasing — automated purchase orders, vendor management and approval steps, plus landed cost calculation on received goods.
• Manufacturing — bills of materials, work orders, material requirements planning and labour costing.
• Asset tracking — equipment and supplies from small items to fleets.
• Integrations — links to accounting, shipping, payment and sales tools.
