Lilypad Nexus · AI for inventory

Built for Fishbowl

A live extension of your Fishbowl data.

Nexus runs on your live Fishbowl server today — no rip-and-replace, no migration. Every draft PO, sales order, report and search reads and writes against Fishbowl in real time, so Nexus and the desktop are never out of sync. Support for more systems is on the roadmap.

Real-time connection
Trust & control

The assistant drafts. You decide.

Nexus is fast, but it never posts behind your back. Every action is a draft you review, on the data your team is already allowed to see.

Approve before it posts
Nexus drafts every PO, sales order and change and shows it to you first. Nothing is written to Fishbowl until you review and confirm it.
Works within permissions
The assistant only sees and touches the data your Fishbowl users are already allowed to. No new backdoor into your ERP.
Everything is traceable
Each action is logged with who asked and what changed, so you always have a clear record of what Nexus did on your behalf.
Frequently asked

Nexus questions, answered

Does Nexus replace Fishbowl?

No. Nexus works on top of your existing Fishbowl data — there’s no rip-and-replace and no migration. It connects to your Fishbowl server and reads and writes in real time, so Nexus and the Fishbowl desktop stay in sync.

Does the AI make changes on its own?

No. Nexus drafts the work — a purchase order, a sales order, a report — and shows it to you first. Nothing is written to Fishbowl until you review and approve it. You stay in control of every posting.

Which AI powers Nexus?

Nexus is powered by Claude. The assistant reasons over your live ERP data and the documents you upload to draft orders, extract line items and answer questions in plain English.

Do we need to move our data anywhere?

No. Nexus runs against your live Fishbowl server where your data already lives. There’s nothing to export or re-key — connect Nexus and your team is working with the same inventory the desktop sees.

Which systems does Nexus support?

Nexus is built for Fishbowl today, with support for more systems on the roadmap — the same assistant across every system you run, so your team only learns Nexus once.
