Manufacture & Work Orders
Connect integral manufacturing steps for speed and accuracy
Fishbowl Advanced™ is a powerful, feature-rich platform capable of supporting manufacturing operations of all sizes, from simple pick lists to complex, multi-location processes. With flexible configuration and automation options, operational tasks, like initiating manufacture and work orders, are completed with speed, ease, and predictable accuracy.
MOs and WOs
All your manufacturing steps are connected and accounted for
Fishbowl Advanced intuitively manages the relationships between your manufacture orders, work orders, and bills of materials. Picture the manufacture orders as the first step that contains the summary of all that is being made. Once an MO is generated, Fishbowl then initiates the works orders that list the process steps and instructions for the item to be built. The work orders originate from your bills of materials, which serve as the ingredient list, or recipe, a person follows when completing a work order.
Build to Order
Speed up and standardize your build-to-order manufacturing
Fishbowl Advanced allows you to efficiently run a build-to-order manufacturing process, reducing overhead costs associated with inventoried finished goods and freeing up capital to more efficiently run your business. You have flexibility to configure manufacturing processes with our robust feature set, including:
Automation options
Link your sales process directly to your manufacturing process with Fishbowl Advanced automation options. When a sales order is initiated, you can configure Fishbowl to automatically initiate a manufacture order, which then generates the associated work orders, using your bills of materials.
Part tracking
Supply chains can be unreliable, making inventory management challenging. Gain greater visibility into your raw goods inventory. Set min. and max. inventory thresholds and automatic reorder points to take the guesswork out of inventory management.
Support customizations
Do you offer customers various product options or customizations? Fishbowl Advanced allows you to account for product customization during the sales process, and those details are automatically captured in your MOs, WOs, and BOMs.
Price transparency
Fishbowl Advanced allows you to insert pricing variations associated with product customization, giving your sales team the ability to propose upsell opportunities and accurately relay pricing to customers.
Build to Stock
Build it, store it, and sell it with Fishbowl Advanced
Whether you manufacture partial assemblies or finished goods, Fishbowl Advanced facilitates progress from raw goods to customers’ hands. Our feature-rich solution connects all your processes, including purchasing, receiving, manufacturing, warehousing, sales, picking, and shipping.
Create standardization and predictability with all your processes originating from the same platform. Fishbowl Advanced reduces manual data entry, eliminates common errors, and increases operational efficiency.
