#Fishbowl inventory address software#
It feels like the kind of software that someone had a really good idea and set out to develop the code but then got bored with it or ran out of money so stopped developing before it was complete. I have a lot of complaints about Fishbowl. There is nothing in this entire software that has made our jobs easier or more convenient. They are only open 8-5 Mountain Time and most times we wait 2 - 4 hours to speak with tech support only to be told that Fishbowl cannot do that. And then here is the worse part about Fishbowl!! One of the selling points is "5 star US based customer support". It is very different to run through the modules when everything setup but the process to get everything setup will take hours and weeks and maybe even months to complete. Don't be fooled by the Demo they provide.
We were basically on our own to figure it out. Our trainer spent two days covering all the different modules and then when it was time to "Go Live" instead of helping us or at least leading us through it like we had be told. On site training is not worth the extra money they will charge you for. It is not as customizable as you will be told by the sales reps. We have been forced to change almost every procedure because Fishbowl only has "One" way of doing things. Take caution because it has not been anything like that. Nothing is impossible for Fishbowl they will say. When I started talking with sales they really over sold Fishbowls capabilities. This requirement may not suit all smaller companies.Ĭaution, Over promise and under deliver!! In exchange for all other features, we see this as a nominal and not inconvenient requirement as at the time we were adding new computer assets. įishbowl Manufacturing software at this time time requires the use of a server which we had to supply. Fishbowl's sales side module allows for effective tracking of lead times as well as sales item forecasting so we are never behind on available inventory. With Fishbowl we can organize warehouse parts inventory, print labels,and organize purchase orders which organizes our supply side. The variety of modules allow close monitoring of essentially every aspect of physical asset tracking. Our team found both these ease of use and relative ease of integration to be among the most attractive components of Fishbowl. In this time especially, we understand that organization and efficiency are paramount to surviving let alone prospering and we are thankful to Fishbowl for helping. Fishbowl Manufacturing Software has proven an invaluable inventory management tool for our team.įishbowl Management software has offered our team a complete supply chain management and physical sales tracking system in one convenient system.
