Fishbowl training for your team, on your own data.

LilyPad Applications helps manufacturers and distributors get more from the ERP they already run — Fishbowl, Katana, Cin7 and QuickBooks. Our trainers know Fishbowl and have done the jobs your team does, in manufacturing, distribution and accounting. Sessions run on test data or a copy of your own database, on-site or remote, for groups or one-on-one.

We also build custom integrations, reports and software for Fishbowl, Katana, Cin7 and QuickBooks. Tell us what you need →

A two-tier approach

Managers and floor staff need different training.

We work with senior managers first to set the parameters and goals for the system, then train the people who use it daily on the tasks they actually perform.

01
Implementation team training
For the people managing the rollout. Covers Fishbowl in detail, focused on the settings with the greatest downstream impact — parts, products and bills of material. This consistently surfaces problems before they happen.
02
On-site training for users
Once processes are set and the system is configured, our trainers go onto the floor and work with employees one-on-one or in small groups, doing their real tasks in their real environment.
03
Delivery to suit you
Remote, on-site, or at an offsite location. Classic classroom or one-on-one — whatever fits how your team learns and how much you can take off the floor at once.
04
Question and answer clinics
For companies already further along. Sessions built around the specific Fishbowl topics your users raise, rather than a fixed syllabus.
What makes it work

Training built around your business, not a syllabus

Trainers who have done the job
Staff with real manufacturing, distribution and accounting experience — not just software familiarity.
Your data, not demo data
Training runs on test data or a copy of your actual database, so what people learn matches what they will see on Monday.
In your environment
On the floor, at the workstation, with the same hardware and the same interruptions as a normal day.
Materials built for you
Once your configuration is set, we develop training materials and plans specific to how you have set Fishbowl up.
Go-live support
A day or two of on-hand help as your team uses Fishbowl in production for the first time.
Coaching for the project itself
Beyond user training, implementation coaching guides whoever is running the project.
Training pairs with Fishbowl consulting and implementation coaching. See everything we do with Fishbowl Inventory.

Train the team on the system they actually have.

Tell us your headcount, your sites and how far into Fishbowl you are, and we will put together a training plan that fits.
