Manufacture with confidence at every step of the process
Fishbowl Manufacturing brings together real-time inventory, fulfillment, and manufacturing operations in one intuitive system. It's designed for manufacturers who want accuracy, control, and insight—without constantly auditing spreadsheets or juggling multiple apps.
Tailored to manufacturers, not generic systems
Fishbowl is built specifically for manufacturers who need control over inventory, materials, and production—without forcing their operation into generic workflows or ERP-level complexity.
- Multi-stage production workflows — Create and manage BOMs and work orders. Automatically convert sales orders into production jobs and connect material availability, labor, and costs at each stage. Streamline operations from raw materials to finished goods.
- Material planning tied to real production needs — Plan jobs and purchasing based on what you're building, what's available, and what's needed next—so materials support production instead of creating excess or shortages.
- Inventory built for production, not just tracking — See raw materials, finished goods, and costing in context, with inventory tied back to orders and production activity, not just counts on a shelf.
- Track labor, cost & margins — Measure labor, overhead, and material costs in real time. Dashboards show performance, yield, and margins—so you can pinpoint inefficiencies and protect profitability.
Advanced AI-driven insights for smarter decisions
Fishbowl also uses AI to analyze trends, performance, and risk—so leaders can make better decisions without digging through reports or spreadsheets.
- AI-powered forecasting & demand planning — Analyze trends, seasonality, and demand to anticipate needs earlier and avoid surprises.
- Automated reporting and dashboards — Get clear visibility into inventory, production, margins, and performance, with simple to build custom dashboards.
- Actionable insights and alerts — Surface risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities across your operation so issues are caught earlier, not after the fact.
