118 Fishbowl Inventory Testimonials

"Prior to Fishbowl, everything was on paper and very chaotic. We had no organizational platform between the employees, which caused friction."

“Upon implementing Fishbowl and going live with the inventory management program, they noticed how easy it is to see exactly where every part in inventory is and how long it has been there.”

“As a company developing high-tech solutions, we need high-tech business processes that support what we do, and especially those that scale with the business as we expand globally. The technology we’re developing has fast iteration cycles, they’re technically complex systems, and we need products that support the business that work in the same manner. Fishbowl was a natural fit for us and very much complementary to the tech stack we’d already brought on board. Now that we’ve partnered with Fishbowl, we’re really excited to see where the future will take us, and we have full confidence that we’ve got the right partners in place to get there.”

"I looked into the question of 'How do you make a fire extinguisher that's going to fit?' and it's a tough engineering challenge. The extinguisher can't be deeper than three inches front to back. But I knew that we had to solve it within the existing rulebooks and standards. It wouldn't have been realistic to try to solve it otherwise. Early on, I tried to license our technology to the largest manufacturer in the country, and their head of engineering said it can't be done. He couldn't believe that what I was saying that I could do was possible."

"With Fishbowl, our inventory demands are known as soon as we issue a sales order. This alone allows us to see what parts need to be ordered 3-4 days earlier than with [our previous system]."

"Fishbowl makes our organic product tracking and reconciliation signi cantly easier and more accurate. Through Fishbowl, we track the flavored tea leaves, blended product, and packaged product. If we don’t have, at minimum, those flavored tea leaves ready to be blended (which doesn’t require the same amount of time) it causes a chain reaction in our production system and significantly impairs our turnaround time."

"We do a lot with very little. When I started working here we had maybe three or four employees. And now we’re up to 16 or 17. But still it’s a very tight-knit, close group."

"We’re small, but everybody works really hard. We want to do it right. We want to do it right the first time."

"Our mission is to get outdoors and enjoy life. I’m not in the business of selling you a backpack. I’m in the business of making sure that your backpacking experience is an incredible one We don’t just put a product out that’ll sell a million pieces. We put a product out because we know that our experience outdoors is going to be benefited from it, and so is anybody else who buys that from us."

"I was searching for an inventory system to work with QuickBooks. And after a ton of research with all the different QuickBooks partner companies, I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to pick Fishbowl.’ And that was the start of a great relationship."

"About three years ago, I was manually entering in every single order that we got from Amazon. And so that’s changed drastically. And thank heavens because our orders are so much larger now. We receive our orders through Vendor Central with Amazon, and we’re able to export those, and we import them right into Fishbowl."

"QuickBooks is a terrific package for our general accounting requirements. We want to teach our employees our market, customer expectations and how to sell. We don’t want to have to use resources and lots of time in training how to use our accounting and inventory software."

"I’ve purchased, recommended purchase, and participated in the implementation of as many as a dozen manufacturing and distribution software packages. While most all were functional, not one was easy to implement and most were rather complicated from a user and training perspective. Considering the significant expense of all those packages, QuickBooks and Fishbowl have made me a believer. It is excellent software, robust, highly functional and a real value to any small business."

"We purchase everything from our manufacturer partners in truckloads. We have customers from Rapid City to Green Bay. In order to provide next day service to such a vast area we use a network of LTL carriers that we match up to the customer to provide the level of service we’re known for."

"Without Fishbowl things would have been difficult."
