Fishbowl always provides accurate inventory data, which is especially important with eCommerce and multiple integrations. With Fishbowl, a user can see what inventory is committed and allocated, which directly impacts cashflow.  

Fishbowl will adjust product quantities and consumption as they are impacted by incoming sales orders, whereas QuickBooks will only consume the inventory. Fishbowl also allows for single and multi-level bill of materials. 

Lastly, Fishbowl can help you predict immediate and future needs, built off historical data and consumption, which will give you the ability to make better business decisions now.  

Fishbowl allows you to set user permissions for specific reports and access to location groups. You can also give administrators the ability to assign users to work orders. When coupling Fishbowl and QuickBooks, your warehouse staff can utilize Fishbowl, while minimizing users in your accounting platform within QuickBooks.  

In Fishbowl, you can take care of sales orders, packing, shipping, receiving, and cycle counting.  You have access to additional functions from a mobile device, making your workflows more efficient, like scanning lot numbers and location tags.  

Individually, Fishbowl and QuickBooks can impact your business in positive ways. When integrated together, businesses can unlock a new level of productivity and accuracy, skyrocketing your business operations and output to stay ahead of the competition.
