There’s no question that the business landscape has changed dramatically and how we do business in the short term will change. As business operators we all need to look at what we have in front of us and make changes to adapt to the “new normal” we find ourselves in.

Do your current business processes allow you to make the best business decisions possible?

Do you feel like you have two hands on the steering wheel and have full control like Lewis Hamilton, or do you feel like you need to grab the steering wheel before you crash into the barrier and get buried by your competition?

Does the software you use cost you a tonne of money each month, and each year? Would you like to reduce these costs without sacrificing function and control?

This is where we can help as Fishbowl has the same features as the “Big Boys” at a fraction of the cost.

This is exactly what happened during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Businesses started to look at their costs, look at their processes, and those that moved quickly and adapted to the moving field in front of them came out stronger because of it. Many companies made the switch from expensive ERP providers and moved to Fishbowl and have never looked back.

Those who respond proactively will endure and be stronger. Right now is the perfect time to be thinking about how to quickly prepare your business to be substantially more efficient in the coming months. We are already seeing companies make immediate improvements in their operations to be leaner and more productive. A strong economy can hide a myriad of mistakes, but to future-proof your business, you can’t afford errors associated with manual inventory management and double or triple data entry. What you need is an advanced, affordable inventory management solution like Fishbowl.

Over ordering?

Having too much stock is just as bad as not having enough and will hinder your ability to have the cash flow available for purchasing the in-demand items. You must get the balance right, and in order to do this you need a centralised system with accurate information for all key staff members to use. Don’t keep this information and knowledge stored in spreadsheets or in an under performing database, implement a solution that is made for this very purpose … inventory control.

Stop over ordering and allocating all that capital into stock that is collecting dust on your shelves. Let Fishbowl help you to achieve the right balance and have the right amount of stock on hand at the right time.

At Fishbowl we eat, sleep, and breath inventory control. Fishbowl is a very powerful yet easy to use Order Management, Manufacturing, and Inventory management solution. Fishbowl Inventory looks after all of your Sales Order, Purchase Order & Manufacturing Order workflow, and as a result keeps accurate inventory levels so that you can deliver in full on time & reduce stock outages without you over ordering.

Measure your suppliers performance

Which suppliers have you purchased from in the past?

Who gave you the best deal or turn-around time?

What are the suppliers lead times?

Are they delivering in full and on time?

How is their performance impacting on your stock turn?

Make better informed purchasing decisions by measuring your suppliers performance. Compare your vendors lead times, costs, and fulfilment rates all within Fishbowl. Reduce your spend with poor performing suppliers and spend your money wisely to reduce wasted spend and improve your stock turn.

During receiving, your suppliers performance is being measured. Fishbowl keeps track of your supplier’s performance by measuring their lead time (date of placing order, to the date of receiving the order), the landed cost of the items, and also how much of the order they fulfill in terms of quantities. This information is critical as you can make decisions such as which supplier to order with next time, which supplier has the best priced goods once freight and other costs are included, and how long they are going to take to deliver the goods.

Fishbowl automatically saves and organises that vendor information and displays it in an easy-to-use, helpful fashion. When you’re ready to reorder, just click the Reorder Point button on a particular item and Fishbowl will create the Purchase Order for the correct vendor and let you make any last-minute modifications. Fishbowl makes purchasing easy and can save you real money.

Let Fishbowl help you to manage all of this information in a centralised place. Fishbowl will link this information to your Purchasing workflow and you will reduce your stock outages of key lines, which means you will be able to manufacture and deliver in full on time.

“Control is one of the driving forces for all of us, both in and out of work. We like being able to choose what we do, and how we do it, and where we can go, and who we can see, and what we can buy. Recently this control has been taken away from us, the toilet paper frenzy is just one example of this craving for control. We can’t do what we use to do, and we cant choose how we go about it.

The same can be said in the business environment right now, control is what we are craving.

In times like this having control and having your finger on the pulse of your business is critical. The problem is, when the “going gets tough” we are often not in this position. You may have taken a back seat and let the team take the wheel for a while, and all of a sudden you have had a wake up call and you have grabbed hold of the wheel again but you are unsure of how you got to where you are, and how to steer it back on course.

This is where Fishbowl can help. Fishbowl is a very smart, powerful, and flexible system that will enforce best practice processes to be followed in your organisation and give you the complete clarity of all of your business data, all in one centralised system. All of the information is at your fingertips for you to gain clarity, and make accurate and effective business decisions.
