Tracking tailored to your business needs
Expiration date, lot numbers, and more — there’s nothing quite like an inventory management system that lets you track items by whatever data point you choose. Whether you use one of Fishbowl’s built-in options or take advantage of our top-tier customization capabilities, you’ll ensure accuracy and compliance for every asset and piece of inventory you manage.
Real-time inventory management — any time, anywhere
Fishbowl makes it easy to keep accurate, up-to-the-minute inventory records. With intelligent software that eliminates manual data entry errors while offering real-time traceability, integrations with powerful tools like QuickBooks, and detailed reporting, you’ll streamline your processes and get results you can count on.
Automated inventory control
Fishbowl’s intelligent platform updates inventory data and takes tasks like reordering off your to-do list, automatically creating purchase orders for authorized workers to send to default vendors when quantities drop too low.
Efficient scanning and barcoding
From reading plain text to barcode scanning and dedicated hardware to smart devices, Fishbowl’s integrated scanning and barcoding features boost data accuracy and worker efficiency to make inventory tracking as seamless as ever.
Advanced warehouse management
Whether you’re managing inventory in a single warehouse or across dozens of locations, Fishbowl’s warehouse management tools make it easy to optimize everything from receiving and storing to picking and shipping. Our Auto ABC button helps optimize storage at every stage. Plus, it’s designed to scale, so it will keep up — even as your business grows.
Comprehensive traceability
Fishbowl’s traceability features offer complete visibility across your supply chain, tracking every part, batch, and serial number throughout its lifecycle. With the Audit Trail plugin, admins can track change logs, enabling compliance with regulatory standards. And the Lot History report shows you every change made to a particular lot number, including work orders, purchase orders, and sales orders.
Effective asset management
Preventing problems like low stock, overstocking, and spoilage isn’t the only thing Fishbowl can do. Built-in tracking for your equipment’s location and availability ensures your assets are always where they need to be when you need them.
Integrated pricing and costing
Fishbowl’s intuitive system allows you to manage pricing rules and landed costs within a single platform, giving you complete pricing control and profitability measurement with every sale.
Align costing structures with inventory for maximum control
Fishbowl aligns your inventory activity with your costing method, delivering actionable insights through detailed reporting, whether you use average, FIFO, or LIFO costing. You can even use standard costing with Fishbowl Advanced or actual costing with Fishbowl Drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
The market has no shortage of inventory software solutions — but only Fishbowl holds the title of QuickBooks' #1 integration, offering a scalable, cloud-based platform that makes order management easy. Plus, it lets you track raw materials, products, and purchasing data — all in one place.
While Excel offers spreadsheet functionality that is adaptable for simple inventory tracking, it's not a dedicated inventory management solution. If your business has more complex needs like multi-location tracking or advanced reporting, managing inventory in Excel will be both time-consuming and error-prone. That's where Fishbowl shines, providing a comprehensive platform purpose-built to scale with your business.
Fishbowl's intelligent inventory control system allows you to set reorder points for each item in your inventory. When stock levels reach the designated reorder point, Fishbowl automatically generates purchase orders to replenish your inventory and sends them right to vendors to avoid stockouts. You can also set safety stock levels to put a buffer in place while you wait to receive your next order.
No matter what inventory management software you choose, we recommend conducting periodic physical inventory counts to ensure accuracy and identify potential issues. But Fishbowl’s real-time inventory tracking and automation features minimize discrepancies, reducing the need for constant manual counts. And when you do audit your inventory, you’ll find the process more efficient than ever thanks to strategies like barcode scanning and cycle counting.
Many businesses rely on perpetual inventory systems, which track inventory levels in real time as goods are bought and sold. Fishbowl’s perpetual inventory system comes complete with features like barcode scanning, stock alerts, order management, and an invaluable QuickBooks integration — all the tools your business needs to stay ahead of the competition.
Fishbowl’s intuitive interface is designed with user-friendly features, making it easy for your entire team to learn and implement. And if you need help, our dedicated support team is available to assist you every step of the way.
Simpler inventory management methods like a pen and paper or basic Excel spreadsheet might seem like the most cost-effective choice. But when you optimize your inventory management with Fishbowl, you’ll reduce overstock-related carrying costs and avoid sales-dropping stockouts, among dozens of other inventory issues. Losses due to shrinkage or misplaced items will become a thing of the past, and you’ll enjoy boosted productivity, thanks to your newly streamlined operations.
