Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs from Aerospace & Defense agencies

How does Fishbowl help reduce errors in inventory management?

  • Fishbowl can be configured to complement and standardize operational processes for companies in the Aerospace & Defense Industry. 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.
