Order management in a single place

Automate Your Order Management Processes To See Profitable Results

A good order management system is critical to companies’ success. The way you pick, pack, ship, order, and receive goods can very well make or break your business. Fishbowl helps you automate these order management processes, improve the life cycle of an order, ensuring customer satisfaction.

Fishbowl provides the right tools for the job

01

Pick, Pack, Ship

Perform batch picks and other order processing jobs with a mobile barcode scanner.

Pick, Pack, Ship

You don’t need expensive hardware to perform the warehouse's complex order picking, packing, and shipping jobs. The Fishbowl Advanced™ Mobile app lets you transform any smartphone or tablet into a mobile barcode scanner for order tracking, inventory management, and more. Use this app to perform batch picks, picking products for multiple sales orders in one swing around the warehouse. Then pack those items into the appropriate number of shipping cartons in preparation for shipment and order fulfillment.

02

Order Fulfillment

Integrate with multiple shippers, get shipping quotes, and fulfill orders fast.

Order Fulfillment

Fulfilling orders becomes much easier when you use Fishbowl ShipExpress to automate many aspects of shipment. This free plugin that you can download in the Fishbowl dashboard lets you integrate with every major carrier, compare shipping prices, print shipping labels, ship goods in batches, verify physical addresses, and receive exclusive discounts. And you can check order statuses and fulfill orders faster.

03

Reorder Points

Use past sales data to generate reorder points for your parts.

Reorder Points

Fishbowl enables you to create reorder points for every part in your inventory. You can set reorder points companywide or for each location where you store the parts. When a part reaches its minimum quantity, Fishbowl automatically sends an email and/or text message to specified staff members about it. This automation helps with order processing and order fulfillment because most of the work is done for you.

04 | Material Resource Planning

Fishbowl’s MRP tool walks you through the management process of creating reorder points

The process of creating reorder points in Fishbowl is nice and easy. Simply click the MRP (Material Resource Planning) button in Fishbowl's Part module and walk through the steps it gives you. At the end, Fishbowl will calculate what each part’s reorder point should be. This is a powerful tool that helps you prevent stockouts and improve the entire inventory management process.

05

Auto Purchase Orders

Automatically generate purchase orders to replenish low stock.

Auto Purchase Orders

Once you have set up reorder points and some of your parts reach those minimum quantities, Fishbowl automatically creates purchase orders for those parts. These purchase orders contain the preferred vendor and the proper quantity that you preset. You can immediately issue a purchase order to the vendor or alter it first and then issue it.

06

Additional Purchase Order Options

Generate purchase orders from sales reports and manufacture orders to aid in inventory management.

Additional Purchase Order Options

You are able to generate purchase orders by running reports on past customer demand and forecasting when you will need more of a certain item to meet a big influx of sales. One more way to automatically generate purchase orders is when you issue sales orders or manufacture orders that have short items. When there aren’t enough items to fulfill a sales order or complete a manufacture order, Fishbowl will let you know what you need to reorder.

07

Sales Order Management

See sales order statuses and short quantities in the Fishbowl interface.

Sales Order Management

Fishbowl gives you a complete view of the status of your sales orders. You can see which ones are in various statuses: quoting, picking, packing, and shipping. In the quoting and picking statuses, it will show if you have enough inventory on hand to completely fulfill orders or if any parts are short.

08 | Accounting Software Integration

Integrate Fishbowl with QuickBooks or Xero to automatically record purchase orders in the general ledger

If some parts are too low, you can quickly generate purchase orders for them. Shortly after you ship goods out, in addition to deducting the inventory from the system, Fishbowl automatically adjusts the cost of goods sold and inventory asset in your integrated accounting solution. Thus, it is a good idea to integrate QuickBooks or Xero with Fishbowl's order fulfillment and inventory management software.

09 | Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Integrate with an EDI to customize order formats for big-box retailers

If you sell products to retail chains, you will need to make sure your sales orders and purchase orders are formatted correctly for each one. Most big-box stores require vendors to comply with their unique requirements. Rather than attempting to do this manually, you’re better off using an EDI to automatically reformat your sales orders and purchase orders for each retailer. Fishbowl integrates with eZCom, Infocon Systems, and SPS Commerce to enable this order processing functionality.
