    If you are looking for a one-stop solution, or you can easily migrate to one system, then I'd recommend Almyta. I would say and have heard it is much more beneficial when you just go all in. If you have a lot of organizing to do, it's a very useful one-stop tool for inventory solutions, purchasing, etc...

    Fishbowl
    Fishbowl is well suited for warehouse operations because you can control, monitor, report or view the progress of materials all the way from purchasing and receiving to the shipment and tracking of products. It integrates with major carriers and with QuickBooks so it does offer a suite that can support the entire operation. It allows for workflow monitoring, so particular groups or products can be tracked.

    Fishbowl
    • Inventory control - provides easy/accurate reports. Also, cycle counts can be done at any time. The warehouse team was easily trained.
    • Sales Orders - Fishbowl allowed us to have the sales orders accessible to everyone and linked the customers' purchase order to the orders and work orders (within the system). It no longer needs to be manually linked.
    • Custom reports - for a small fee we had reports customized specifically for our company.
    • Link to Quickbooks - invoices generated directly after closure of sales order.

    Support Rating
    almyta systems
    Their customer support people are very detail-oriented and helpful. I talk to them more than I would like, but they do a great job. Sometimes with software, the customer support can be very stuffy, but these guys are pretty committed to customer service and I appreciate that. They typically can solve an issue within 15-30 minutes.

    Originally the support for Fishbowl was very poor. It was hard to get anyone to help. In the last 12 - 14 months, it has greatly improved and if it continues this way I would certainly rate it higher.

    Alternatives Considered
    almyta systems
    IBM Order Management is a good product but is on the expensive side. Additionally, I like to use MacOS and Almyta Control Systems is a little easy to use on a Mac. Almyta also has a broader range of support products. Personally, I really prefer Almyta's customer support and find them very helpful and responsive.

    Fishbowl is more useful than QuickBooks Manufacturing if you operate complex manufacturing with multiple multi layered BOMS
