Compare/Fishbowl GO vs LilyPad WMS
Mobile warehouse · Compared

Looking at the Fishbowl GO app? Look at LilyPad WMS too.

Both put your warehouse on a handheld. LilyPad WMS goes further — guided pick paths, pallet tags and chain-of-custody, purchasing from the floor, and manufacturing work orders — and it runs on Fishbowl, Katana or Cin7.

When to look further

Four floors where teams come to us.

Fishbowl GO is built around Fishbowl and its standard workflows. If any of these describe your operation, it is worth seeing WMS before you commit.

01
You do not only run Fishbowl
Fishbowl GO is a Fishbowl product. LilyPad WMS posts to Fishbowl, Katana or Cin7 — so one app and one set of habits covers the whole group, even if different sites run different systems.
02
You move pallets, not just units
Build pallets on the floor and track them by pallet tag. Mixed-SKU pallets, nested cartons and full chain-of-custody — receive, move and ship a whole pallet in one scan instead of unit by unit.
03
Buying happens on the floor
Receive against POs, manage vendors and raise purchase orders from the handheld. No walking back to a desk to order what you just found short.
04
You build as well as ship
Complete manufacturing work orders and run transfer orders between locations from the same app your pickers already use, tracked in real time.

Fishbowl GO capabilities as published by Fishbowl. We are a Fishbowl partner — if GO covers what you need, use it. This page is here for the floors it does not.

One app across your systems
Different sites on different ERPs is normal after an acquisition. WMS gives all of them the same handheld workflow while each posts to its own system.
Pallets as first-class objects
Receive, move and ship a whole pallet in one scan. Mixed SKUs, nested cartons and chain-of-custody, all writing back to your ERP.
Shaped to your floor
We build the workflow around how your warehouse actually runs — the same team that builds your custom Fishbowl reports and knows your database.
See the full LilyPad WMS module map, or the rest of what we do with Fishbowl Inventory — including custom reports, consulting and training. Reps taking orders away from the warehouse? That is Unplugged.

See it run on your own floor.

Tell us your order volume, your pick paths and whether pallets are involved. We will show you WMS against your workflow — and say so plainly if the app you already have is enough.
