Fishbowl Inventory

Fishbowl Inventory is a leading inventory management and manufacturing platform for product-based businesses that need stronger operational control than basic accounting or commerce systems can provide. Widely used by wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and ecommerce businesses, Fishbowl helps teams manage stock, orders, production workflows and warehouse operations from a single, scalable system. 

The platform includes advanced tools for inventory tracking, purchase order management, sales order processing, work orders, bill of materials (BOM), materials requirements planning (MRP), serial/batch tracking and multi-location warehousing. Fishbowl integrates seamlessly with accounting and ecommerce platforms, such as Xero, QuickBooks and major shopping carts, allowing businesses to centralise operations without complex system replacements. 

For MachShip customers, Fishbowl acts as the operational system of record for products, stock levels, orders and manufacturing output. MachShip then manages the shipping and carrier execution layer, ensuring outbound orders flow directly into an accurate and efficient dispatch process. Product data, quantities, customer details, and order references captured in Fishbowl can be passed into MachShip to create consignments with minimal manual handling. 

MachShip returns key shipping outputs (carrier selection, labels, tracking numbers and status updates) supporting a streamlined workflow from fulfilment through to delivery. Together, the integration reduces operational bottlenecks, improves pick-and-pack accuracy and ensures freight execution remains consistent across high-volume or multi-location operations. 

Fishbowl is ideal for businesses that have outgrown basic inventory tools and need a capable, extensible platform to manage stock, manufacturing and fulfilment. Combined with MachShip, it provides a complete solution for efficient warehouse operations and reliable freight performance.
