Asset to Our Company

They have done a wonderful job in taking care of us from learning to use it to just small mistakes here and there. The support is outstanding.

Pros

Fishbowl is a great asset to our company. It has been wonderful in helping us manage inventory for our warehouse and tracking errors. The customer support is always amazing. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] our representative is one of the most helpful people. He goes above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied with the product.

Cons

Some reports cost extra, but I understand that it takes them time to write it. The turn around is usually fast.

Ease of Usage

Excellent! Customer service is very responsive, and the overall program is solid!

Pros

Ease of usage and ability to be flexible with our operations. We run custom electrical panels and this allows us to use the Bill of Materials module as a base, and add/delete parts in the Manufacturing module for the customs.

Cons

Some reports are not readily available and have to find work-arounds. Like annual part usage to date. I can't seem to find or modify a report that will tell me how many of a certain part I have used that is filtered by dates.

Reasons for Choosing Fishbowl

It was not fulfilling our needs for inventory nor production, plus reports were very limited.

Reasons for Switching to Fishbowl

Implementation time and cost were both too high.

With the amount of time I've spent trying to get it to work, I might actually have been able...

My experience has been pretty garbage, overall, to be completely honest. As a system, it works okay. Many, many aspects, such as the import/export function, are some of the worst examples of programming/knowledge I have seen in decades.

Pros

It does 85% of what it should. Its functions are organized very well, looking past its archaic functions.

Cons

Bugs, bugs, bugs. But most of all - Never getting resolution to deep technical issues. Surface-level issues of data entry are clearly support's bread and butter, but anything beyond that is guided out to a pasture to die of old age instead of being addressed.

Reasons for Switching to Fishbowl

I did not choose; I was not involved in identifying/purchasing our ERP.

Fishbowl is a powerful tool for any business.

Overall, my experience with Fishbowl has been very positive and I'm looking forward to utilizing all of its potential!

Pros

We love the scalability and how the modules are integrated with one another increasing productivity and enhanced reporting functionality.

Cons

I don't like that it does not differentiate a reship purchase order with a drop ship purchase order from an item costing perspective. In other words, if I place an order for material from my supplier, and have them ship it to my customer directly, the cost impacts my AVERAGE cost of the inventory in my warehouse even though it has not been physically received in and mixed in with previously purchased inventory.
