Fishbowl Warehouse review and pricing

SMB on-premise WMS with native QuickBooks integration; default for QuickBooks-anchored small manufacturers and distributors.

By Fishbowl Inventory · Founded 2001 · Orem, UT · private

Fishbowl Warehouse is an on-premise (with a cloud-hosted option) WMS and inventory-management system purpose-built for SMB manufacturers and distributors, with native QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online integration as the defining feature. Founded 2001, privately held, and headquartered in Orem, Utah. Distinct from Fishbowl Manufacturing (the related Fishbowl product for light-manufacturing workflows). The product covers core SMB warehouse and inventory: receiving, putaway, basic picking, pack and ship, barcode workflows, cycle counting, and inventory accuracy. Best fit for QuickBooks-anchored US SMB manufacturers and distributors (sub-100 employees) needing real inventory and barcode workflows on top of QuickBooks. Strengths: native QuickBooks integration (the primary purchase reason), one-time perpetual-license option (vs subscription-only Tier-1 WMS), SMB-friendly pricing (low five-figure entry), and US small-business support orientation. Trade-offs: on-premise architecture (cloud-hosted option exists but is not cloud-native), limited scalability above ~500-employee operations, smaller integration ecosystem than cloud-native peers, and the user experience is dated compared to modern cloud WMS.

Best for

QuickBooks-anchored US SMB manufacturers and distributors (sub-100 employees, single warehouse, sub-$50M revenue) needing real inventory and barcode workflows with native QuickBooks Desktop or Online integration.

Worst for

Cloud-native ecommerce fulfillment (Logiwa better), NetSuite-anchored mid-market (NetSuite WMS appropriate), mid-large enterprise (Manhattan, Blue Yonder, SAP EWM, Korber better), or multi-site high-velocity operations.
