Serial Number Tracking

Lose the spreadsheets and manual tracking. Fishbowl's serial number functionality provides total inventory visibility that sets the industry standard. Every firearm, every serial number, tracked with military-grade accuracy.

Custom Inventory Tracking

Generic solutions fail. Our customizable fields allow you to track the most nuanced firearm attributes—from unique rifle gauges to specialized components. This isn't just tracking; it's intelligence gathering for your business.

Barcode Scanning

Speed meets accuracy with our integrated barcode scanning system. From receiving to shipping, eliminate errors and accelerate your entire operational workflow. As your business grows, Fishbowl grows with you—seamlessly and efficiently.

User Rights Management

Enhance compliance by assigning user rights to specific roles and actions. Track who is responsible for selling firearms, enabling accountability and regulatory adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs from Firearms businesses

Why is the ATF Logbook not in Fishbowl Advanced by default?

The ATF Logbook is a niche report that only gun manufacturers, sellers, and distributors need access to. It’s not necessary to offer it to every type of business. Fishbowl’s default reports apply across every industry. To gain access to the ATF Logbook, please visit Fishbowl’s Report Store or contact your account executive.

How does Fishbowl help reduce errors in inventory management?

  • Fishbowl can be configured to complement and standardize your operational processes. For example, you can receive orders into your warehouse, perform cycle counts, and pick items with a barcode scanner to keep your inventory data accurate and up to date. Data entry is typically a point for potential human error.
  • Fishbowl allows for automation of data entry through its connection to other systems in your tech stack. Once data is entered into one system, it is automatically shared across your operations, drastically reducing the potential for human error. For instance, when an item is received in a shipment, it can be scanned in and stored based on predetermined settings. When that item is moved, sold, or otherwise removed from your inventory, a quick label scan accounts for the activity in your system without any other manual steps.

Can I limit what certain roles can do/access inside of Fishbowl?

Yes, you can grant varying degrees of access to different people, or roles, throughout your organization, as well as 3rd party entities. Each role can be assigned specific permissions that define what actions the individual can perform–ensuring only those who you specify can view, edit, and/or delete certain information. With Fishbowl, everyone is clear on their roles and has access to the exact information they need to do their jobs.
