What you can do with Fishbowl Advanced Warehouse
Barcode and mobile receiving, picking, packing and cycle counts. Your team updates the count where the work happens, not at a desk afterwards.
Sales orders, shipments and returns, each step organized and synced with stock automatically. Nothing falls between systems.
Client-owned inventory in one warehouse without mixing a unit, with storage and handling billed per client at month-end.
EDI orders in, ASNs out when the truck leaves, retailer compliance built in. The penalty line stops appearing.
Custom fields and workflows fitted to your floor, with dashboards on performance and trends that point at the next decision.
Forecasting and answers, built in
Know what's coming before it costs you
The forecast runs on your own sales history and your vendors' real lead times, not an industry average. So when the retailer's holiday order lands, the reorder went out six weeks ago. When a supplier slips a week, you know which orders it touches before the customer does. When freight quotes come in, you are booking a truck, not paying for air.
Ask "which SKUs run short before the 14th?" and get the list, the rows behind it and the reorder ready to draft. The dashboards are already built. Alerts surface the risk while it is still cheap to fix.

What is a 3PL warehouse management system?
Software that lets a third-party logistics provider run many clients' inventory in one warehouse, bill each client for storage and handling, and exchange orders and shipment notices with retailers over EDI. Fishbowl Advanced Warehouse does this.
What's a warehouse management system?
A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software program designed to optimize and streamline all aspects of an organization's warehouse operations. From inventory tracking and order fulfillment to labor management and shipping, an effective WMS provides real-time visibility and control over the entire warehouse process, improving efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
Is Fishbowl a warehouse management system?
Yes. Fishbowl WMS runs receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping and counting from barcode scans, and it is the same system that holds your orders, purchasing and QuickBooks sync.
What is the best warehouse management software for small businesses?
Fishbowl is the best warehouse inventory management software for SMBs, manufacturers, and distributors. Fishbowl WMS includes multi-location tracking, barcode scanning, pick/pack/ship, 3PL management, and QuickBooks integration, with per-user pricing and no volume caps.
Does QuickBooks have a warehouse management system?
No. QuickBooks has no bin or location management, picking workflows, barcode scanning, or 3PL capabilities. Most QuickBooks users add Fishbowl as their WMS layer, integrating with QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise.
What are the key features to look for in a warehouse management system?
At bare minimum, your warehouse management system (WMS) software should offer inventory tracking, order management, receiving and putaway, picking and packing, shipping, labor management, reporting and analytics, and integration with other systems like accounting software.
What is the difference between a WMS and an ERP?
A WMS handles warehouse operations: inventory tracking, picking, packing, shipping. An ERP covers broader functions like accounting, HR, and CRM. For most SMBs, Fishbowl plus QuickBooks is more cost-effective and faster to implement than a full ERP.
How can Fishbowl's warehouse management software improve my inventory accuracy?
With Fishbowl, you'll get real-time inventory updates, insights that make demand forecasting easy and accurate, and exception management to help you address discrepancies before they become a bigger problem for your business. Use tools like barcode scanning to precisely track your inventory as it moves throughout the warehouse, minimizing the risk of human error and offering real-time visibility into your products' exact locations and quantities. Plus, Fishbowl eliminates the need for frequent inventory counts, allowing you to move to systematic cycle counting that saves time and doesn't stall your whole operation.
Can Fishbowl integrate with third-party logistics (3PL) providers?
Yes, Fishbowl offers integrations with a number of third-party logistics (3PL) providers, allowing you to connect your warehouse operations with your partners to streamline order fulfillment, shipping, and inventory management across multiple locations. Our 3PL integrations make it easy to leverage your partners' expertise and resources to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and keep your customers happy.
How does Fishbowl's warehouse management solution contribute to effective supply chain management?
When you have end-to-end visibility and control over both inventory and warehouse operations, you can streamline processes like procurement, order fulfillment, and shipping. The result? Optimized inventory levels, shorter lead times, and better collaboration with suppliers and partners. With real-time inventory visibility and forecasting capabilities, you'll make proactive decisions to keep stock levels on point, and thanks to Fishbowl's integrations with accounting systems like QuickBooks and various 3PL providers, your supply chain will be stronger and more resilient than ever.
Does it forecast demand?
Yes. Forecasting from your own sales history and vendor lead times is built in, along with plain-English answers from your live data.
