    Your senior support team like Brison are what keeps FB working at an acceptable rate.
    Overall, we finally see improvements in customer support.

    Pros

    Pricing and affordability. Extensive training not required for all employees.

    Cons

    Plug-ins not working. spent countless hours fixing Plug-in issues. Then we had to dish out another 6k for sellware after we already paid for the original plugins. Not a way to do business.!

    Reasons for Choosing Fishbowl

    We did not want to depend on inhouse staff due to constant personnel changes.

    The employees are very nice. They just seem to be very understaffed and limited on what they can do to help.

    Pros

    I like that it would allow us to keep an acuate inventory if it actually worked.

    Cons

    Integration to QuickBooks is horrible. And getting support for any issues takes a long time. Then you do get a person, it's very time consuming.

    At first it took some time getting used to as my company used a far simpler version of FishBowl. However, after using this system, it only took a week or so to get used to the functionality. But, there’s always something new to learn as FishBowl has so many feautures that we haven’t come across. It’s a great WMS to use for smaller businesses such as ourselves.

    Pros

    I love having the sales order summary for end of month reports. It can be easily reviewed as the sales order numbers can be clicked and it brings you to that specific sales order to be easily reviewed.

    Cons

    I don’t like how the sales orders and pick reports do not show the total quantity of the units or cartons being picked. That would help greatly.

    Pros

    Migration to SQL database allowing integration with other systems.

    Cons

    After selling to a larger company, support is almost non existant, if your small thet dont seem to care. Have tried to book many support sessions and never any availability unless you want to wait 2+ months. Good luck getting them on the phone, the chat works and will waste an entire day trying to explain any issues
