Statpacks designs and delivers high-quality emergency medical kits used by first responders, outdoor professionals, and organizations that require reliable, ready-to-use solutions. With manufacturing overseas and warehouse operations spanning Washington, Utah, and the Philippines, Statpacks operates in a highly distributed supply chain where visibility and control are critical.
Products are manufactured overseas, shipped internationally, and often remain in transit for around 45 days before arriving at U.S. warehouses. Managing that complexity — and keeping operations and accounting aligned along the way — is what led Statpacks to Fishbowl.
The Challenge: Inventory Across Borders and Time
Long lead times, global logistics, and multi-location inventory management created several key challenges for the Statpacks team:
- In-transit blind spots — tracking inventory accurately while goods were still weeks away from a U.S. warehouse
- Difficult reconciliation — matching received inventory against what was ordered and expected weeks earlier
- Multi-location complexity — managing stock across warehouses in Washington, Utah, and the Philippines
- Disconnected accounting — maintaining alignment between operations and financial records without a centralized system
Without one system of record, visibility gaps made it difficult to confidently plan inventory levels, fulfill orders efficiently, and maintain accurate financial records.
The Solution: One System for Inventory, Shipping, and Accounting
Statpacks implemented Fishbowl in 2022 to bring structure and visibility to their operations. Fishbowl tracks their inventory from the moment it ships overseas: by recording goods as “on the water,” the team can plan ahead and maintain awareness of incoming stock long before it physically arrives, then reconcile received goods against the original orders once shipments land.
With warehouses in Washington, Utah, and the Philippines, Statpacks relies heavily on transfer orders to move inventory where it’s needed most. Fishbowl gives them clear stock levels by location, structured workflows for moving inventory between warehouses, and confidence that inventory data stays accurate across the entire network.
Shipping runs through Fishbowl ShipExpress (Powered by Shippo), which lets the team shop carrier rates in real time, then purchase and print labels without leaving Fishbowl. “Being able to compare rates and print labels right from Fishbowl has simplified our shipping process significantly,” the team says.
Fishbowl’s QuickBooks integration keeps inventory movements and financial data in sync — accurate cost tracking for inventory and shipments, streamlined reconciliation between operations and accounting, and greater confidence in financial reporting.
The Results: Visibility, Efficiency, and a Platform for Growth
- Improved inventory accuracy across in-transit and warehouse stock
- Faster, more reliable reconciliation of incoming international shipments
- More efficient fulfillment with real-time rate shopping and label printing through ShipExpress
- Stronger financial visibility through the QuickBooks integration
Looking Ahead
With a strong operational foundation in place, Statpacks is now exploring MRP to better forecast demand and production needs, Auto PO to automate purchasing decisions, and AI Insights from Conversight to uncover trends and drive smarter decision-making. “We’re excited to start leveraging more advanced features like MRP, Auto PO, and AI Insights to take our operations to the next level.”
“Our process involves tracking goods in transit for weeks at a time and then reconciling once they arrive. Fishbowl gives us the visibility and control we didn’t have before.”
