Good Order Management Is Essential to Streamlined Inventory

Harriet GeogheganFebruary 26, 2018Leave a Comment

Advance shipping notice, Fishbowl Inventory BlogStreamlining your inventory and making sure it is well managed can be challenging and complicated, especially if your wholesale business is growing quickly. As more retail orders come in, stock levels start requiring religious monitoring. In times like these, managing your inventory using pen and paper (or even spreadsheets) just doesn’t cut it anymore. You need to come up with other ways to streamline your inventory management without it being a drain on your resources.

Of course, the best solution is to use the right technology, like cloud-based online inventory management software, that will enable you to keep track of your stock and provide you with real-time inventory updates. But did you know that the way you manage your orders is also super important?

How you handle your ongoing and upcoming orders can help you achieve an inventory system that runs smoothly. Good order management lets you predict your future demand, gives you better visibility over your stock, and provides you with a bigger picture of your sales trends. (more…)

A Recap of Fishbowl’s Software and Hardware Integrations

Robert LockardAugust 25, 2017Leave a Comment

Salesforce, Xero, Dropbox, Magento, and QuickBooks all integrate with Fishbowl, Fishbowl BlogMore than a year ago, in the 800th blog post on the Fishbowl Blog, I shared a list of Fishbowl’s integrations with software and hardware solutions. This list is not meant to be completely all-encompassing for all time. You can bet Fishbowl will continue to add new ones as it grows and expands into other areas.

After all, the more connected you can make all of your solutions, the better off your business will be. You’ll be able to:

  • Eliminate double, triple, quadruple, etc. data entry by simply entering the data in one solution and having it automatically export it everywhere else it needs to go.
  • Stay with your accounting, ecommerce, or other solutions longer by adding badly needed inventory management features that they lack.
  • Avoid costly software changes that require you to get trained on a whole new system after your old one fails to meet your more complex needs.
  • And much more!

Now that I have made good on my promise to go in depth on every single one of these integrations, it is time to share links to all of the amazing Web pages Fishbowl has for each of these integrations. Check them out! (more…)
