The Warehouse version of Fishbowl Inventory gives you the ability to streamline your daily processes, as well as providing advanced inventory control and tracking. The day-to-day activities of order entry, inventory management, receiving, picking, shipping, etc. are handled directly in Fishbowl Inventory. When you sync the transactions to QuickBooks, you are able to keep the financial information in a separate, more secure, environment, since fewer people will need to be logged into QuickBooks. Fishbowl Inventory Warehouse version is divided into modules that allow you to split your operations among people or departments. Each module interacts with other modules within Fishbowl to keep the entire company up-to-date. This can help improve communication and accuracy between groups. Fishbowl Warehouse also gives you the ability to plug in other programs, such as shipping, ecommerce, Fishbowl Go, or LilyPad Mobile Warehouse, through its open API (Application Programming Interface). Integrating your programs so that they communicate and pass information automatically can not only reduce human error, but also improve efficiencies throughout the company and among all departments. The user interface of Fishbowl Inventory is intuitive and easy to navigate. Although it is already simple to use with the default settings, you have the ability to manipulate the user interface in several ways to make navigation even more user-friendly for your needs. This includes such things as saving specific layouts, automation of certain actions, and auto-loading of the modules that you most often use.

If you are on a budget, and you do not need the manufacturing functionality, then the Fishbowl Warehouse version is the correct option for you. All other features, such as inventory management, sales orders, and purchase orders are included in the Fishbowl Warehouse price.
