    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.

    The app is best suited to managing audits of assets and financial reporting, supporting asset control, and serving small businesses, but less suitable for large businesses that rely heavily on online operations. Limited to real-time businesses, but probably better for physical-based or physical asset tracking.

    Pros
    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.

    Well, it's effective enough for managing asset depreciation, tracking, managing business, and sometimes reporting. It helps us save time by avoiding errors. However, the UI can become complex, and reporting can be clunky. It may take some time to get used to, so it's not always for beginners. Also, not intuitive enough for the modern era in the subject of integration and cloud-based management.

    Support Rating
    Fishbowl
    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.

    Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

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

    Sage was overall a much simpler product to understand. Our users were able to wrap their heads around how it worked and the learning curve was very short. Meanwhile the other products we looked at seemed so complicated for what were needing. I am glad that we chose Sage in the end.
