Fishbowl & QuickBooks together offer a true End-to-End Solution
Chuck Hale, Co-Owner ofBC Technical, West Jordan, Utah
“We started using Fishbowl inventory with QuickBooks nearly 4 years ago as a somewhat small company doing $2M a year. We have now grown to a $16M company and within the next 3 years will hit over $60M. Fishbowl integrated with QuickBooks worked great in the beginning and will work great when we are a $60M company. At any one time we will have 5 or 6 users on QuickBooks with as many as 50 users on Fishbowl Inventory with great performance. We love our combination of QuickBooks and Fishbowl. I do not see us ever changing as both QuickBooks and Fishbowl Inventory seem to grow with us.”
–Chuck Hale, President

“We added Fishbowl Inventory and this was the solution to our problems. It is very user friendly and accurate. It doesn't allow a transaction to be fulfilled without proper inventory. We have five offices and each is responsible for counting their inventory. Fishbowl Inventory allows us to see how accurate each location is in counting and helps us to better monitor inventory. We've save so much time by using Fishbowl Inventory. We love the software and would highly recommend it to anybody with large inventories to be accountable for.” - MGC
