Fishbowl Manufacturing
Complex manufacturing processes made simple
Connecting all the steps, parts, and people throughout the manufacturing process has never been easier. From material handling to tracking production to projecting capacity, Fishbowl manages all your manufacturing operations in real time from a single platform.
When your customers are as varied as your part configurations, BOMs should be, too
With fully customizable bill of materials (BOMs), you can build what you need when you need it, and in the most efficient way possible. Fishbowl allows you to define and manage simple or configurable builds, use sub-assemblies in your order of operations, and create unique BOMs for a single part, giving your workflows maximum flexibility.
Full-featured manufacturing management
Standardization creates efficiency and reduces errors in your manufacturing process. With complete control of elements like your BOMs and work orders, you can more accurately plan for and schedule your production and capacity. Fishbowl automates these steps and gives you visibility into opportunities for increased efficiency.
Configuration Management
Make data-driven production adjustments on the fly
Whether you have a highly predictable manufacturing process or offer custom builds, Fishbowl Advanced gives you control and flexibility with its configuration management features. Set up standard steps and include optional adjustments along the way, which allow you to accommodate customization and account for errors, or labor discrepancies.
With connection to your accounting platform, like QuickBooks, you can automatically link labor time and consumed materials costs to the cost of finished goods. Easily run reports for work-in-progress (WIP) to specify how much product is in production, allowing for a more holistic view of manufacturing’s impact on cash flow and taxes. Stay empowered to make informed decisions about your sales margins.

Case Study
“Once we have the material in house, we’re able to watch it move and flow through the manufacturing facility. So, at any point in time, we know what stage the product is at, and we know how many parts and pieces we have on hand.”
Oval Brand Fire Products aimed to shift from a small, chaotic, and disorganized small-business set-up to a fully trackable and manageable system. With a small facility and all-hands-on-deck staff, Fishbowl lets the company efficiently manage resources and automate operations.
Give your QA some QT
Efficiently move raw goods, partially assembled items, and completed products through your manufacturing process with configurable manufacturing workflows. Assign pick locations, workstations, and staging environments, then schedule the delivery of inventory to designated locations.
When workflows run this smoothly, quality assurance is easier to track, saving you time and money.
