Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Ordoro is ideal for a company with multiple websites and/or sales channels that does both in-house shipping and has orders drop-shipped. Ordoro keeps orders and inventory in one central location, so you can manage orders, inventory, vendors, shipping, etc., all from one location. Creating and printing shipping labels is fast and simple. Ordoro's PO features and drop-ship integration with vendors has saved us a ton of time and hassle.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Ordoro manages inventory across multiple platforms very well. If you sell an item on one channel, it reduces your told inventory and updates it across all of your other channels so you never risk going out of stock on an item. Ordoro is awesome for bringing all of your orders into one central location which streamlines shipping processes. They also provide reduced shipping costs for most well-known shipping carriers. Ordoro has incredible technical support and customer care team. Unlike other similar products, when you call Ordoro, you talk to a real live person who is never reading a script and always friendly and happy to help with any questions you may have.

Wish it would sync to our eCommerce platform a bit more often than 1x per hour. We can manually sync, but that takes a few minutes.

Read full review Support Rating 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.

They have a robust support center for DIY answers, and honestly, we don't need support often because their product is so reliable. But when we need to reach a human for additional support, they have always been excellent.
