It's fantastic for a small business like mine. Particularly for our warehousing and QuickBooks integration. > > **Cons**: NO cons so far\! It's truly designed for small to midsize companies and we are very pleased with the implementation. > > Fishbowl is excellent multi-location tracking, automated reordering, and barcode scanning. It is complex so we are still learning but excited for its scalable solutions\! ----- ### "Fishbowl Advanced for Manufacturing, Sales, and Inventory." — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *14 April 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have a self-hosted version, its very high quality, low maintenance to run the server. The software has a huge set of features for manufacturing and inventory control. Sales orders and purchase orders are also all under the same roof. Sales orders support invoicing and reporting. Manufacturing has BOM's, Work Orders, Manufacture Orders, and has options for custom MO's as well as reverse MO's. Software has a great layout, its not old and dated, but neither is it a flashy smooth interface that changes with every new update. Styling is consistent. Customer support is easy to reach, they recently on-boarded a number of new employees, so no issues. Accounting export is automatically synced from Fishbowl to Quickbooks. It supports desktop and cloud versions of quickbooks. Seamless integration. > > **Cons**: New features are slow in coming. They could use an upgraded custom reporting tool, current stock report set is great, but ability to customize is somewhat lacking. > > Overall I have a good impression from Fishbowl, pricing is affordable for small teams, but its got the feature set for big customers. I would use it for again if I needed to make the choice. ----- ### "Moderation needs work and it's changed for the worse." — 3.0/5 > **Catherine** | *6 December 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing honestly it costs so much to use the paid version now. Fishbowl is going downhill in my opinion. > > **Cons**: The moderation is getting wildly ineffective. It makes it difficult to use and the costs have become too high. > > I used to use the free version religiously but it's gone downhill quickly. The moderation is getting wildly out of hand. There has been a boom in posts that don’t violate any guidelines being flagged and removed. Then when you reach out to Fishbowl support inquiring about details on how your post “violated guidelines”, Fishbowl responds saying that it was a mistake. ----- ### "Highly recommended software solution" — 5.0/5 > **Deeann** | *14 April 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using Fishbowl for 8 years. It does everything we need for inventory control, point of sale and order management. The integration with eBay, Big Commerce and ShipStation are paramount to our business running smoothly. Anytime we have needed customer support, they have been responsive and resolutions have been quick. We mainly use kits on our selling platforms and Fishbowl's capabilities in this area are versatile. > > **Cons**: Any time there is an upgrade, we are reluctant to install it because of issues we have had in the past upgrading the first day or two after it is released. > > Our overall experience with Fishbowl has been very positive. Having an automotive based business, there are many combinations of parts we can put together, so kits has been very valuable to our business. The integrations with the ecommerce platforms and shipping solutions have made our order management efficient and effortless. Fishbowl has been an integral part of our company's success. ----- ### "Flexible but needs more granularity" — 4.0/5 > **Michelle** | *27 April 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It offers alot of flexibility to accommodate our business model of high-mix low volume sales, as well as custom builds. The modules are intuitive and there is clear traceability. > > **Cons**: I would like more granularity and data analytics capabilities, for example, to drill down to individual raw material costs per sales order over time. The reorder reports can also be improved by providing shortages to a certain data range, rather than all or none approach. > > Fishbowl reports can be customized but the response time is a bit long. It would also be nice to see reports on screen rather than as a PDF report or CVS output. ----- Page: 1 / 46\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1700/fishbowl-inventory-scm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/1700/fishbowl-inventory-scm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
