Fishbowl Manufacturing

Fishbowl Manufacturing is the vendor's most capable product, described as cloud hosted inventory tracking, warehousing and manufacturing, sold alongside the lighter Fishbowl Inventory for businesses that stock and move goods without making them.

Splitting the range at that line is the right division, because manufacturing and distribution are genuinely different problems despite both involving inventory. A distributor's stock arrives as finished goods and leaves as finished goods, and the question is where it is and how much there is. A manufacturer's stock arrives as components and leaves as something else entirely, and the question is what can be made from what is available, which requires bills of materials, work orders and production scheduling that a distributor never needs.

AI Manufacturing is the current published capability, framed as automating production preparation, catching shortages early and getting more done with the existing team. Catching shortages early is the one with measurable value: a production run halted because a component ran out costs the whole run's setup time, and the shortage was usually predictable from the order book days earlier.

The stated framing of doing more with the team you already have is honest about what small manufacturers actually buy this for. They are not seeking to reduce headcount; they are seeking to grow without adding administrative staff.

Multi-warehouse, third-party logistics and EDI support are published on the manufacturing tier, along with SKU tracking, reorder points and mobile barcode scanning.

Pricing is published with Fishbowl Inventory at $229 per month and Fishbowl Manufacturing at $595 per month, with a $429 figure also published across the range.
