Warehouse Manufacturing Licensing

Just like the warehouse version of Fishbowl Inventory, the Fishbowl Manufacturing version gives you the ability to streamline your daily processes, including advanced inventory control and tracking, in addition to manufacturing processes. The day-to-day activities of order entry, inventory management, receiving, picking, shipping, manufacturing, etc. are handled directly in Fishbowl Inventory. When you sync the transactions to QuickBooks, you are able to keep the financial information in a separate, more secure, environment, since fewer people will need to be logged into QuickBooks. The Fishbowl Manufacturing software even gives you the ability to separate your raw goods asset value from your finished goods asset value, so you know exactly where your money is.

Fishbowl Inventory Manufacturing version is divided into modules that allow you to split your operations among people or departments. Each module, including manufacturing, interacts with other modules within Fishbowl to keep the entire company up-to-date. This can help improve communication and accuracy between groups. For manufacturing, this means that you can even split each step of the production process into easy-to-manage portions that can be handled any way you need.

Fishbowl Manufacturing also gives you the ability to plug in other programs, such as shipping, ecommerce, time management, Fishbowl Go, or LilyPad Mobile Warehouse, through its open API Application Programming Interface). Integrating your programs so that they communicate and pass information automatically can not only reduce human error, but also improve efficiencies throughout the company and among all departments.

The user interface of Fishbowl Inventory is intuitive and easy to navigate. Manufacturing stages are easily handled, and are highly visible to anyone with access. Although it is already simple to use with the default settings, you have the ability to manipulate the user interface in several ways to make navigation even more user-friendly for your needs. This includes such things as saving specific layouts, automation of certain actions, and auto-loading of the modules that you most often use.

There are more features in the Fishbowl Manufacturing software, compared to the warehouse version, so the Fishbowl Manufacturing price is a little higher. All features, such as inventory management, sales orders, purchase orders, and manufacturing are included in the Fishbowl Manufacturing price, plus you get the addition of everything you will need to perform your manufacturing activities.

Many people who are considering moving to Fishbowl Inventory have been using QuickBooks, or spreadsheets, or even something as simple as pen and paper methods. It can be overwhelming to decide if Fishbowl is right for you, but when you consider the return on investment for having a robust inventory management and manufacturing system, the Fishbowl Manufacturing cost will be well worth the investment.
