Volusol is a Utah-based manufacturer of high-quality diagnostic stains, reagents, ethanol, and related products serving clinical, veterinary, and laboratory markets. With roots dating back to the 1970s, Volusol has built a reputation around consistency, quality, and problem-solving in medical diagnostics.
The company also operates Volusol Bulk, a growing business focused on toll manufacturing, 3PL logistics, hazardous materials, alcohols, water treatment, and deicer solutions. Together, the two sides of the business create a complex operational environment, one that requires strong inventory control, manufacturing visibility, ecommerce connectivity, accounting accuracy, and scalable systems.
As Volusol continued to grow, brothers Logan and Austin Horrocks knew the business needed more than disconnected tools and manual processes. They needed a connected platform that could support manufacturing, ecommerce, multiple entities, and long-term expansion.
The Challenge: Two Businesses, One Operation
Volusol was managing a business that had grown more complex across multiple product lines, sales channels, and operating entities. The core Volusol business and Volusol Bulk each had distinct operational needs, but both required accurate inventory, reliable manufacturing processes, and better visibility across the organization.
As the business expanded, Volusol needed to support:
- Manufacturing and inventory management across both Volusol and Volusol Bulk
- Multi-entity accounting and reporting through Intuit Enterprise Suite
- Ecommerce order flow from Shopify and Amazon
- CRM managed through Salesforce
- EDI workflows through SPS Commerce
- Better visibility into raw materials, finished goods, orders, and financial activity
- A scalable system that could support growth without adding unnecessary manual work
It wasn’t just about managing inventory. Volusol needed a stronger operational and financial foundation that could help the business scale with confidence.
The Solution: Fishbowl Manufacturing and Intuit Enterprise Suite
Volusol implemented Fishbowl Manufacturing as the inventory and production system supporting both sides of the business. Fishbowl became the operational hub for managing materials, manufacturing workflows, finished goods, and fulfillment.
Alongside Fishbowl, Volusol uses Intuit Enterprise Suite to support the financial side of the business across multiple entities. Together, Fishbowl Manufacturing and Intuit Enterprise Suite give Volusol a more connected way to manage operations and accounting as the company grows.
Fishbowl helps the team control what is happening on the manufacturing floor and in inventory. Intuit Enterprise Suite brings greater structure to the accounting, reporting, and multi-entity side of the business. That combination has become especially important as Volusol continues to operate both its traditional diagnostic products business and its growing bulk manufacturing business.
Volusol also connects ecommerce activity from Shopify and Amazon, helping the team manage online order flow alongside manufacturing and fulfillment. SPS Commerce supports EDI workflows where needed, helping Volusol serve trading partners while keeping the main focus on scalable operations through Fishbowl and Intuit Enterprise Suite.
With Fishbowl and Intuit Enterprise Suite, Volusol was able to:
- Support manufacturing workflows across Volusol and Volusol Bulk
- Improve inventory visibility across raw materials, finished goods, and bulk operations
- Strengthen multi-entity accounting and reporting
- Connect ecommerce activity from Shopify and Amazon into the broader operational workflow
- Support EDI requirements through SPS Commerce
- Create a scalable foundation for continued growth
