## Reviews

### "After using for 5 years, we are implementing the newest FB Software, seems great" — 5.0/5

> **Harley** | *22 July 2024* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The manufacturing module lets us build parts and put in inventory, which is what we needed (and did not have) in the past
> 
> **Cons**: Price was a bit high but if it all works the way we have been promised, it will pay for itself.  There has been alot of changes in the past 5 years from the old FB, so we are hoping it is all going to work and help us all to be more proficient.
> 
> We are still too early in the installation of the new FB so there is nothing to comment on yet

### "Honest Review of FB after 2 years" — 4.0/5

> **Will** | *14 April 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fishbowl makes the whole sales process from estimating to invoicing super simple. The Shippo integration makes creating labels a breeze. Inventory hasn't been a problem since switching as well\!
> 
> **Cons**: We sell rolls of substrate, and a whole roll is 54.7 yards long. We have to convert it to 55 yards and then adjust the pricing. Not a big deal, though.
> 
> Great, they are always sending webinars for training, checking in to see how we are doing, and ready to help if we reach out with questions\!

### "I DO NOT RECOMMEND. WE PAID $19,000 FOR ZERO SUCCESFUL INTEGRATION BEFORE CANCELLING." — 1.0/5

> **Ashton** | *20 October 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: None. The implementation was too hasty and did not help our company map out our integration before trying to implement. Our doubts and concerns were ignored.
> 
> **Cons**: I was forced to pay out over $19,000 for unrendered services even though we were guarenteed success of integration. I even confirmed in our contract that they include special verbiage to confirm that we had a risk free trial to be sure this very expensive jump for us would indeed work. After my doubts that full integration would succeed were confirmed, I was refused full or even reasonable refund.
> 
> I am a part of a growing company and we took a big risk to see if Fishbowl would be a good fit. We were not able to link their system to our QuickBooks accounting software and online store (Shopify) to pull location of inventory available or shipping quotes prior to full sync. The sync did not work properly talking back and forth between QuickBooks.

### "Excellent inventory management system" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *17 June 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Inventory mangement, Export and import. I especially like the fact that the export allows to save in Excel formart. There are also plenty of reports avaible.
> 
> **Cons**: There is no customer credit (balance) managent, and it is difficult to management payment across sales orders. Although the system has price rules but it doesn't our this simple requirement: setting up a minimum price for a product and any sell price under the minimum can not sold.
> 
> It is a good and stable system overrall and the phone support is excellent. I had two cases where our data was messed up due to mistake on our end and I contacted Fishbowl and the support team was able to solve our issues in timely manner.

### "Smooth Transition and Powerful Inventory Management Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Mary** | *1 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its flexibility and the wide range of inventory management features it offers. The system can be adapted to fit our specific business processes rather than forcing us to change the way we work.
> 
> **Cons**: The initial learning curve was challenging due to the system's extensive features, but the Fishbowl team has been very helpful and has made the transition much easier.
> 
> We are currently transitioning from QuickBooks to Fishbowl, and so far we are very excited about the additional features and capabilities the system offers. Fishbowl provides much greater flexibility and customization, allowing us to adapt the software to our company's specific operational needs.&#10;The inventory management tools are robust, and the platform offers a level of control and visibility that goes beyond what we previously had. The transition process has been smooth, and we are looking forward to taking full advantage of the system's versatility as we continue to grow.&#10;Based on our experience so far, Fishbowl appears to be a powerful solution for businesses looking to improve inventory management and streamline their operations.
