Weird connection between Parts and Product. Doesn't always correlate. Very confusing.
Antwoord van Fishbowl
That's wonderful to hear that Fishbowl is working great for you thanks in large part to its QuickBooks integration. I'm sorry that parts and products aren't always correlating in your system. I hope that you'll be able to reach out to our Support team for help whenever an issue like that arises. They are definitely amazing at their jobs, and I'm glad that you've enjoyed working with them.

It's pretty good. It's harder to correct mistakes (such as clicking too fast or on the wrong key) and some things I wish the software was better geared towards software such as QB when it comes to Accounting related subjects.
Pluspunten
I like that the FB system doesn't allow you to do anything unless Inventory shows the product and that you need to make the necessary adjustments to be able to move forward with an order.
Minpunten
I don't like that our mistakes are harder to correct.
Antwoord van Fishbowl
Thank you for your review. You are great. If you ever problems, you can contact Fishbowl's support team, and they'll be happy to help you correct mistakes and perform other tasks.

We've been using Fishbowl for years and while there have been some limitations, we have found a way to work around those issues.
Pluspunten
Great customer service. Fast response time is appreciated. Nice being able to email sales orders and transfer orders.
Minpunten
Managing inventory in our sales channel has been a challenge due to the way Shopify reconciles returns/exchanges.
Antwoord van Fishbowl

the customer service was amazing. There was very little wait time and the person was able to walk me through the process clearly. It saved me possibly hours of my own time.
Pluspunten
customer service was the best part. very direct and clear
Minpunten
aren't really any cons at this point. There are a few things on fishbowl client that are not that direct. example- when adjusting the inventory, there is no option to just adjust. You have to hit the "cycle" button. It's just getting used to the lingo of the software.
Antwoord van Fishbowl
We're so glad to hear that you have had a great start with our software! You are wonderful. A lot of our success comes from our customer service. That team is dedicated to your success, and it really shows in the results you mentioned, like quick callbacks, little wait time, and expert walkthroughs of the Fishbowl software.
Thank you for being patient as you get to know our lingo and learn how everything works. You're so patient and kind. We're excited for you to see even more positive outcomes from using our inventory management features in your business. Have a fantastic Christmas!

At first it took some time getting used to as my company used a far simpler version of FishBowl. However, after using this system, it only took a week or so to get used to the functionality. But, there’s always something new to learn as FishBowl has so many feautures that we haven’t come across. It’s a great WMS to use for smaller businesses such as ourselves.
Pluspunten
I love having the sales order summary for end of month reports. It can be easily reviewed as the sales order numbers can be clicked and it brings you to that specific sales order to be easily reviewed.
Minpunten
I don’t like how the sales orders and pick reports do not show the total quantity of the units or cartons being picked. That would help greatly.

Great system that has helped our company thrive
Beoordeeld op 14/6/2024
Pluspunten
We can manage all of our inventory efficiently. It is much better than the system we used to use.
Minpunten
It would be nice if we could void a shipment. It is also a little frustrating that we can't edit a purchase order after the product has moved, eg: been committed to a sales order. Sometimes we get invoices for freight after we receive the product, and there is no way to edit the reconciliation after the product has moved. So we're forced to go in and manually re-enter each product with the new landed cost.

From the start they have been upfront and honest and having played around with giving me a very high price at first and then lowering it down by 50% like other companies that I dealt with. It’s nice to have the upfront and honest conversations without failing like I’m getting a sales pitch from, a company that just wants to make the sale. Fish bowls, seals representatives. Their internal staff have been very professional from start and throughout the process so far.
Pluspunten
All of the pertinent information that my staff can utilize to help them be better at helping our customers.
Minpunten
Setting up all of the information. Although they have spreadsheets that you can fill out, it still takes a little time to gather all the information to insert it into the system like any other company.
Redenen om over te stappen op Fishbowl
We chose fishbowl because we felt it had everything we needed, and everything was explained to us efficiently. We also had multiple Q&A’s done with fishbowl representatives that were professional and never felt like they were just trying to sell us quickly. Also, we felt very pleased with their pricing structure.- Sector: Vervoer/over de weg/per spoor

Fishbowl manages inventory the same as any other system.
Fishbowl manages inventory the same as any other system.
Pluspunten
The inventory managment, BOM costing, and it's linking to QuickBooks.
Minpunten
Reporting - While it comes with many reports, none are practical to use in reconciling the general ledger to the inventory totals in Fishbowl.
***The Reporting department will build a customize report but "Buyer Beware". Your request is sent to a report writer to build and send the completed file to another employee who is your only contact. You are not allowed to talk to the report writer because "they are very busy". I've learned that "they are very busy" because they assume what is needed. I requested a simple report over 4 months ago, and after multiple rewrites, the report writer still doesn't understand what is needed. Instead, they blame me for not requesting the correct information.

Boxstorm to Fishbowl
Beoordeeld op 9/12/2024
I've only been using it for a week, and so far so good.
I've only been using it for a week, and so far so good.
Pluspunten
The switch from BoxStorm to Fishbowl has been fairly seamless.
Minpunten
So far, the inventory valuation report is not able to filter by "tags" and the location.
The emailing PO option does not have a savable "standard" message.
Antwoord van Fishbowl
I will send your concern about that limitation in the Inventory Valuation report to the developers at Fishbowl immediately so that they can work on adding that functionality. Thank you for letting us know that that's something you need. And I'll also inform them that it would be good to have a savable standard message when emailing POs. Perhaps this could help you set up a default PO email message: https://help.fishbowlinventory.com/advanced/s/article/Settings#Email_tab
You are great. Thank you for sharing your review and helping us make Fishbowl a better product to meet your needs.

Dishonest, No Integrity
Beoordeeld op 1/2/2024
Pluspunten
My software implementation specialist was friendly.
Minpunten
I wish I would have thoroughly read these reviews before making the awful decision to give fishbowl a try. I had been in the market for this type of software for a while and had a long conversation with a fishbowl sales rep who promised me that fishbowl could do exactly what I was needing. I was hesitant, because it did not seem like this was true, but he promised me they could do a "custom build" that would address my company's specific needs. Most importantly, he assured me over and over that I could get a full refund if it turned out that the software was not a fit for my company. He promised that I would be able to go through training, implementation, and use the software for a full 30 days after the end of training to decide if it was going to work out. So I spent countless hours over the next several months in the training and implementation of the product. Throughout the training, I expressed my doubts that it would work out, but I had hopes that the "custom build" would be the solution. Training concluded, implementation began, I tried my best to make this thing work for my company, but we were approaching the money-back deadline, no custom build had been provided, and I could not see any way this software would do what I needed. So I attempted to contact my sales rep multiple times via email and phone but got no response. Miraculously, four days AFTER the deadline, I was finally able to communicate with someone who informed me that my sales rep was no longer with the company and that I had missed the deadline for a refund. So let's try that custom build now and see if that'll work. So we did, and to no one's surprise, it was still useless. I again asked for a refund at that point but was denied - "past the deadline." And all this communication was by email because they refuse to offer a phone number to actually speak with someone. So after a complete waste of $14,000 and about year of my time, I'm right back where I started, except poorer and older. I would STRONGLY advise thinking twice before entering into any relationship with fishbowl.
