Key Features

Inventory and manufacturing
Fishbowl empowers small to midsize businesses to succeed by delivering AI-centric inventory and manufacturing solutions that help teams operate smarter, respond quicker, and unlock more reliable operations.
AI planning
Fishbowl AI plans your day, fills capacity gaps, executes POs, MOs, and WOs, and identifies risks and opportunities. Inventory stays optimized, products flow, margins grow, and promise dates stick.
Early risk detection
Flags looming shortages, capacity gaps, late WOs, margin leaks, low margin SKUs, mis-posts, and tariff hits; then proposes the corrective action before dates slip.
Order prioritization
Ranks revenue-critical and at-risk orders, optimizing for: lead times, labor capacity, routings, vendor cost; and focuses the team on work that moves the needle.
Manufacturing tracking
Fishbowl’s manufacturing inventory management software tracks MOs, BOMs, and material requirements in real time. AI rebalances work centers, reroutes jobs, and updates promise dates so schedules hold and production doesn’t stall.
Warehouse visibility
Inventory management software that updates stock levels the moment a transaction occurs. See committed, available, and on-order quantities across every warehouse in real time.
AI data answers
Ask your AI assistant any inventory management question. “What’s going to stock out next week?” Get answers without digging through spreadsheets or reports.
Landed cost accounting
Track inventory by SKU, location, and shipment with full landed-cost accounting and precise QB/Xero posts. AI prevents margin leaks before close.
Inventory traceability
Track lots, serials, expiry, landed costs, and tariffs with one-click recall reports. Inventory management software built for audits in minutes, not days.
Automated reordering
Set reorder rules and let Fishbowl’s inventory management system automate purchase orders. Forecast demand, generate vendor-aware POs, and surface anomalies before they escalate.
Accounting software sync
Fishbowl seamlessly connects with both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, allowing you to manage inventory and manufacturing in Fishbowl while maintaining your financial records in QuickBooks.
Multi-location operations
Whether you're managing two locations or twenty, Fishbowl provides the tools you need to operate efficiently at scale.
Barcode generation
Fishbowl integration allows businesses to generate these barcodes (physically or electronically) to ensure a more efficient stock monitoring process.
