Partners/Fishbowl
The QuickBooks powerhouse

Enterprise inventory, in sync with QuickBooks.

Fishbowl is the venerable giant of inventory — and in 2026, a modern hybrid-cloud platform. LilyPad implements, extends and modernizes it so your team gets more without leaving the system they trust.

Fishbowl
What it is

Enterprise-grade inventory and manufacturing, wired into QuickBooks.

Fishbowl is the leading way to add enterprise-grade inventory and manufacturing to a QuickBooks business — a standalone platform that syncs deeply with your accounting rather than living inside it. In 2026 it has become a modern, hybrid-cloud solution without losing the depth that made it the standard.

No other inventory platform integrates as tightly with QuickBooks, both Desktop and Online (it also supports Xero). For teams whose accounting runs on QuickBooks, Fishbowl is often the non-negotiable choice.

Strengths in 2026

What makes Fishbowl strong

01
Compliance & traceability
The gold standard for regulated industries like food & beverage, medical devices and aerospace. Lot and serial-number tracking are incredibly granular.
02
Juno AI
Fishbowl’s 2026 assistant focuses on operational health — spotting anomalies like a picker running 20% slower than average and suggesting layout changes.
03
Advanced warehouse management
Fishbowl’s WMS is more mature than most, handling complex picking strategies — wave, zone and more — that high-volume warehouses require.
04
Deep QuickBooks synergy
Integrates with QuickBooks Desktop and Online more deeply than anything on the market, with Xero support too.
For makers

Built for every manufacturing model.

Batch
Large runs of powders, liquids and goods — with units-of-measure and material-expiration tracking to cut waste and rework.
Discrete
Build-to-order assembly with one-time or multi-quantity BOM items for simple or large-scale customization.
Job shop
One-off jobs with job costing, labor management and per-line instruction notes for hand-built work.
Repetitive
A single product, made on repeat — with MRP to plan materials and scale frequency to demand.

Choose Fishbowl if…

Your accountant says: whatever you do, don’t break our QuickBooks setup.
You’re in a regulated industry requiring strict lot and serial tracking.
You run a large, complex warehouse that needs advanced picking and packing workflows.
