What Fishbowl Has to Offer as An Inventory Management System
For large-volume producers and sellers, coordinating your manufacturing, inventory, purchase orders, and accounting was a logistical quagmire. With so many moving pieces and different departments and locations involved, things were easily jumbled, slipped through the cracks, and were generally inefficient. Until automated inventory management systems came along.
While most inventory systems could help you organize your stock, and maybe even orders and shipping, they fell flat when it came to manufacturing and accounting. Fishbowl is here to change that.
We can confidently say that Fishbowl is tried and tested, with clients like General Electric, the US Air Force, and NASA on their roster. These global titans are proof that Fishbowl has the capability of managing your workflows with ease.
Fishbowl’s collection of solutions will help you scale your growing business to new heights, and help to make your already thriving business more efficient and effective.
