Training

Individualized on-site training

LilyPad for Fishbowl’s training staff is made up of professionals with experience in both Fishbowl Inventory operation and real world experience in Manufacturing, Distribution, and Accounting tasks. Training can be scheduled for groups or individuals, using test data or copies of your actual database. Let us work together with you to create a Fishbowl Training Program that works for you. We believe in a two-tier training approach, working with your senior managers on an Implementation Team to set the parameters and goals for the system by understanding all the features of Fishbowl Inventory and how they can fit into your current and future business processes.

Overview

Explains Fishbowl Inventory Software in detail, focusing on the settings that will have the greatest impact on your implementation. Our experienced trainers, working with the input of our implementation team experts, have identified the crucial areas in setting up Parts, Products, Bills of Material, and other aspects of the Fishbowl system which will have the greatest impact as you move forward.

Target Audience

For your Fishbowl implementation team or management. This training is specifically designed for those people managing the implementation of Fishbowl and has proven to identify problems before they happen.

Overview

Once the processes have been set, and the Fishbowl system configured to your environment and business, we can develop training materials and plans.

Going “onto the floor”, our trainers work with your employees, in their work environment, one on one or in small groups to do their work tasks in their environment using Fishbowl Inventory.

Target Audience

Employees in their work environment.

Training can be delivered either remotely, on-site, or at an offsite location. We can format the training to be in a classic “classroom” environment, or one-on-one. For companies farther along in the process, we can arrange “Question and Answer” sessions where specific Fishbowl topics are addressed based on the user input.

  • After you go live with the system, our Implementation Professional will review any problems encountered and work with you to create plans for dealing with issues that only arise once a system is in full production.

We very much appreciated Mark’s extensive manufacturing background and his extensive knowledge of Fishbowl as well as his experience with the integration points with both Magento and QuickBooks. And as Mark (nor Sharpe Concepts) is not affiliated directly with Magento, Fishbowl, or Intuit he was able to provide us with an unbiased and experienced view of each system. Finally, Mark’s sense of humor was greatly appreciated by the team. In a session that could have otherwise been tense he immediately diffused any sense of angst within minutes.
