Fishbowl Advanced

Powerful warehouse companion for real time inventory control

Fishbowl Advanced is a dedicated extension of the Fishbowl ecosystem, designed to bring core warehouse and inventory functionality directly to the people on the floor. Rather than being a standalone solution, it acts as a companion tool for existing Fishbowl Advanced setups (version 21.4 or newer), giving teams real-time access to stock data wherever they are in the facility.

Once connected to your Fishbowl environment, the app shines in day‑to‑day operations. Real-time inventory tracking lets staff check quantities, locations, and movements on the spot, cutting down on radio requests and paperwork. Integrated barcode scanning streamlines receiving, picking, and cycle counts, helping reduce errors and keeping records in sync with physical stock.

For manufacturers, the ability to work with detailed bills of materials (BOMs) directly from the device is a major advantage. You can consult granular BOMs, follow optimized workflows, and keep an eye on work orders without heading back to a desk. Automatic reorder points and multi-location support further help planners maintain healthy stock levels across warehouses or branches.

The interface focuses on function over flair, favoring clear lists, buttons, and logical navigation. It may feel slightly utilitarian, but that works in its favor in busy environments where speed matters more than aesthetics. Customizable workflows and dashboards allow businesses to adapt the experience to their specific processes, which is crucial for growing operations.

The main limitation is that it’s useful only to organizations already invested in Fishbowl; casual users or very small teams without the core system will not benefit here. But for existing Fishbowl customers, Fishbowl Advanced is a strong, efficiency-boosting addition that turns handheld devices into powerful warehouse terminals.
