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.
