Tracking and tracing inventory in your warehouse and out of it

When you’re trusting your inventory to vendors as part of your outsourcing or dropshipping operations, Fishbowl allows you to maintain visibility every step of the way.

When time is money, knowing how long goods take to move through the process is extremely valuable. Identify bottlenecks and track costing changes as timelines are adjusted.

Don’t sweat the stock stuff

Regardless whether you’re serving mom-and-pops or big-box stores, Fishbowl gives you visibility into current stock and its locations, while allowing you to customize your purchasing functions. One platform does it all, so you don’t have to.

Case Study

“Fishbowl makes our organic product tracking and reconciliation significantly easier and more accurate.”

Beth Johnson, Founder
Teas Etc.

With Fishbowl’s inventory tracking tools, Teas Etc. has been able to prevent stockouts by setting automatic reorder points. Today, the company is no longer overwhelmed by orders, inventory load, the number of customers, or regulatory requirements, thanks to the ability to easily track and maintain the right amounts of tea ingredients.

Automatically reconcile landed costs with our QuickBooks integration

Fishbowl’s integration with QuickBooks eliminates the need for manual cost management in disparate platforms. When landed costs are calculated in Fishbowl, those costs are then reflected in your accounting records.

Calculating the true landed cost of goods can be a cumbersome process that is often completed manually by many small-to-medium-sized businesses. With connected, full-featured inventory-management software, though, your cost reconciliation can be quick and automated, saving you time and money.

Fishbowl allows you to separate the receipt of physical goods from cost reconciliation considerations, like shipping, taxes, and fees. You can then adjust costs and include additional fees to calculate the true landed cost of received goods. Your accountant will high-five you.
