Fishbowl Lets You Stay with the Accounting Solution You Noel

Robert LockardDecember 25, 2015Leave a Comment

Merry Christmas!

I sure hope you’re enjoying this special holiday. I would like to add my customarily fun take on the season by talking about Fishbowl in a Christmas-y way.

Fishbowl lets you stay with QuickBooks for many years, Fishbowl BlogAs you probably know, Fishbowl is the #1 manufacturing and warehouse management solution among QuickBooks users. A big reason for this is that Fishbowl integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks, and it offers numerous features that QuickBooks does not. Small and midsize businesses can start using Fishbowl and stay with QuickBooks rather than having to look for an expensive ERP solution.

Thus, Fishbowl lets you stay with the accounting solution you Noel. (more…)

All Work Orders and No Supply Makes for a Lack of Full Bays

Robert LockardOctober 30, 2015Leave a Comment

All work orders and no supply makes for a lack of full bays, Fishbowl BlogTrue horror isn’t reading the words “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” on page after page of Jack Torrance’s manuscript. No, the real horror is found in the statement, “All work orders and no supply makes for a lack of full bays.”

I’m joking, of course. That’s one of the most unsettling scenes in The Shining (1980). But one of the scariest things in running a manufacturing business is to run out of the very materials they need to make their products.

I know I already did my customary Halloween blog post earlier this month, but I couldn’t help myself. This idea was just too fun to pass up.

So come play with us, Danny, as we shine a light on the issues of work orders and supply chain management. (more…)
