I strongly suggest that you don't use this.

We had had enough, and ...

What do you like best? Its potential. Can be a great program, and used to be, but too many bugs in newer versions. What do you dislike? We experience daily glitches in the software, ever since they migrated to a mysql database. We use their mobile app to pick orders, which is great in theory.

We give them feedback and thoughts on when and why these errors occur and ...

When you're selling a product that someone is going to run their entire company with, you'd better have outstanding tech support. Not so with Fishbowl. Their chat support staff are next to useless unless ...

Worst decision in my business history

What do you like best? It had a lot of advanced features, which, if set up and used correctly, could make a business more organized and proficient. What do you dislike? Fishbowl is a very misleading company that does not have the customers best interest in mind. The software layout is quite difficult to navigate and understand. It claims to integrate well with Quickbooks, but you will constantly find things which are not transferred. They give you a demo bike company system to start out ...
