Frequently Asked Questions
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.

What are the key features to look for in a warehouse management system?

At bare minimum, your warehouse management system (WMS) software solution should offer:

  • Inventory tracking
  • Order management
  • Receiving and putaway
  • Picking and packing
  • Shipping
  • Labor management
  • Reporting and analytics
  • Integration capabilities with other systems like accounting software

Are WMS and ERP platforms the same?

While warehouse management systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems both contribute to business management, they serve distinct functions. A WMS focuses specifically on warehouse operations, while an ERP system handles a broader range of business functions like accounting, finance, human resources, and customer relationship management (CRM). If you want the best of both worlds, look for a WMS software program that integrates with ERP systems to provide seamless data sharing and collaboration across your entire organization. But a better option is Fishbowl, which offers the functionality of an ERP and a WMS with a way lower price tag.

Which WMS software is best for warehouse management?

We understand that choosing the right warehouse management software is overwhelming, so let your industry, budget, desired features, and the size of your warehouse (or multi-location warehouses) guide your search. From Zoho Inventory to Infor to NetSuite, there’s no shortage of options. But if you’re like most businesses, a platform that’s comprehensive, scalable, and user-friendly is your best bet — and Fishbowl’s cloud-based solution fits the bill. It offers shipping, reporting, and order management alongside inventory control and tracking capabilities that empower your warehouse team and support business growth.

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 to minimize 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 patterns. 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.
