Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs from Aerospace & Defense agencies
In aerospace and defense, an error on a part number can mean a grounded aircraft or a failed audit. Fishbowl is aerospace and defense software built to standardize the steps where errors creep in. Receive shipments by barcode scan, run cycle counts against live data, and pick items against a work order, so your inventory record stays accurate without manual entry.
Data entry is where most human errors start. Fishbowl connects to the other systems in your stack, including QuickBooks, Xero, and your shipping tools, so once a part is received or moved, the update flows across every system without a second pair of hands touching it.
Yes. Fishbowl role-based access lets you grant different permissions to employees, contractors, and third-party auditors, so each person only sees the parts of the system relevant to their job. For aerospace and defense software buyers, this matters for ITAR and CMMC compliance, where access to controlled information has to be locked down and logged. Define who can view, edit, or delete at the module and field level, and pull access reports when auditors show up.
Yes. Fishbowl coordinates suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams so materials arrive on time and meet quality requirements. For teams evaluating a full ERP for aerospace and defense, Fishbowl handles the supply chain and inventory layer without the 12-month rollout, and syncs with the accounting system you already run. Vendor performance, part cost trends, and receiving history stay visible through a library of reports:
- Lot History
- Sales Order Summary
- Purchase Order Summary
- Vendor Part List
- Part Vendor List
- Vendor Backorder Report
- Vendor Fulfillment History
- Part Cost Over Time
- Vendor Performance Report
- Receiving History
Fishbowl's attribute tracking and barcode system traces every part from receipt through every step of production and shipment, based on labeling fields you define. If a lot gets delayed or a component fails QC, you can trace it back to the supplier and shipment without digging through paper records. Aircraft manufacturing software has to handle serialized parts, lot-level traceability, and custom regulatory labels all at once, and Fishbowl is built for exactly that. You get a full report library for compliance and audits, including:
- Sales Order Summary Report
- Item History Report
- Lot History Report
- Customer Purchase History Report
- Inventory Turnover Report
- On Hand Report
- Reorder Points Report
