Fishbowl Inventory

Fishbowl Inventory is a manufacturing and warehouse management software company best known for its deep integration with QuickBooks, providing advanced inventory control, manufacturing, and warehouse management capabilities to product businesses that use QuickBooks for accounting but need more than QuickBooks' native inventory features. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Orem, Utah, Fishbowl has built a large installed base of small and mid-market manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors who prefer to keep QuickBooks as their accounting system while using Fishbowl for operational inventory management.\n\nFishbowl's platform covers multi-location inventory tracking, manufacturing with bill of materials and work orders, warehouse management with bin and lot tracking, purchasing and receiving, and sales order management. The QuickBooks integration synchronizes customer records, vendor records, items, and financial transactions between Fishbowl and QuickBooks, providing a connected system where Fishbowl manages the operational complexity and QuickBooks handles the financial reporting. Fishbowl also offers standalone cloud capabilities through Fishbowl Online for businesses that prefer a cloud deployment.\n\nFishbowl competes with inFlow, Cin7, Unleashed, and the manufacturing add-ons available for QuickBooks. The company's established brand recognition in the QuickBooks ecosystem and its large installed base of existing customers have sustained its market position despite increasing competition from cloud-native alternatives. Fishbowl's long track record and specific positioning as the leading QuickBooks inventory add-on continue to drive strong customer acquisition from the QuickBooks user base.
