n-Fishbowl covers what QuickBooks can't. We connect it to everything feeding it.
Fishbowl is inventory and manufacturing management software built to sit on top of QuickBooks, Desktop or Online, giving product businesses proper warehouse management, barcode-driven stock counts, and manufacturing work orders that QuickBooks doesn't handle well on its own. It runs as a client application connected to a central server, with QuickBooks still handling the books. We connect Fishbowl to the sales channels and operational tools around it, so an order placed anywhere flows into Fishbowl and QuickBooks without someone entering it twice.
What we build on top of Fishbowl
Fishbowl has its own set of integrations, but online stores, marketplaces, and wholesale portals outside that list still need stock counts and orders flowing both ways. We build that sync so an order anywhere decrements the right stock in Fishbowl immediately, instead of overselling an item that already shipped somewhere else.
Reorder points in Fishbowl tell you what's running low, but turning that into an actual purchase order still takes someone noticing the alert. We connect that signal to real supplier workflows, factoring in sales velocity across every channel Fishbowl tracks, so the reorder happens closer to the moment it's actually needed.
When a sales order needs something built, not just picked, we build the handoff that turns it into a Fishbowl manufacturing work order automatically, pulling the right bill of materials instead of someone creating it by hand from the sales order.
Fishbowl and QuickBooks both hold pieces of the full picture, inventory and production on one side, the books on the other. We build the reporting that combines them into one dashboard, so leadership isn't cross-referencing two systems to answer one question.
A Real-World Scenario: Small Manufacturer on QuickBooks + Fishbowl
QuickBooks for the books, Fishbowl for inventory and work orders, selling direct and through two wholesale accounts.
Before
A wholesale order arrives by email. Someone checks current stock in Fishbowl, manually creates the sales order, and separately confirms availability back to the buyer, all before production even starts.
After
The order lands in Fishbowl automatically, checked against real stock and open work orders the moment it arrives, with confirmation sent back to the buyer without anyone opening Fishbowl to do it by hand.

Running Fishbowl on top of QuickBooks and still bridging the gaps yourself?
Tell us which order source, reorder step, or report you're currently stitching together by hand between the two systems. And if it's neither Fishbowl nor QuickBooks that's actually slowing you down, that's fine too, we automate whatever's manual in your business.
