Automated inventory control

Fishbowl’s intelligent platform updates inventory data and takes tasks like reordering off your to-do list, automatically creating purchase orders for authorized workers to send to default vendors when quantities drop too low.

02

Efficient scanning and barcoding

From reading plain text to barcode scanning and dedicated hardware to smart devices, Fishbowl’s integrated scanning and barcoding features boost data accuracy and worker efficiency to make inventory tracking as seamless as ever.

03

Advanced warehouse management

Whether you’re managing inventory in a single warehouse or across dozens of locations, Fishbowl’s warehouse management tools make it easy to optimize everything from receiving and storing to picking and shipping. Our Auto ABC button helps optimize storage at every stage. Plus, it’s designed to scale, so it will keep up — even as your business grows.

Fishbowl’s traceability features offer complete visibility across your supply chain, tracking every part, batch, and serial number throughout its lifecycle. With the Audit Trail plugin, admins can track change logs, enabling compliance with regulatory standards. And the Lot History report shows you every change made to a particular lot number, including work orders, purchase orders, and sales orders.

Effective asset management

Preventing problems like low stock, overstocking, and spoilage isn’t the only thing Fishbowl can do. Built-in tracking for your equipment’s location and availability ensures your assets are always where they need to be when you need them.
