Automate Manufacturing. Save Time and Money.
Generate complex work orders from BOMs and options—faster, smarter and with less effort.

Manufacturing Software

Fishbowl simplifies manufacturing by automating complex tasks, making it easy to plan for production changes, monitor and maintain equipment, and manage detailed multi-stage bills of materials. With clear recipes and step-by-step instructions, every user can follow the process with confidence and efficiency.

Manufacturing Inventory Software

Fishbowl helps speed up the manufacturing process by eliminating unnecessary steps, saving valuable time on the production floor. You can print invoices directly, create build-to-order manufacturing orders, and apply tracking and batch control information at every stage for greater accuracy and visibility.

Bill of Materials

Fishbowl allows you to automatically generate Bills of Materials, quickly locate parts within the warehouse, and efficiently monitor and maintain equipment. You can create multi-stage BOMs and store tracking information against finished goods, ensuring full visibility and control across your entire production process.

Real-Time Inventory Integration

Every transaction—from raw receipt to finished goods—is tied to live inventory. Avoid stockouts, minimise waste, and ensure accurate counts across all warehouse locations.

Work Orders

Fishbowl transforms sales orders into work orders with ease, allowing you to create both simple and multilevel work orders for a wide range of jobs—all within a single, streamlined system.

Visibility, Reporting & Scalability

Gain insights with production-level data: track utilisation, identify bottlenecks, and optimise workflows. Fishbowl scales with your business—supporting basic builds today and complex manufacturing tomorrow.

Save Time on the Warehouse Floor

With Fishbowl Manufacturing, after a Bill of Materials is created, it can automatically be generated repeatedly each time that specific job occurs. This speeds up the manufacturing process by helping manufacturers get organised faster.

A Bill of Materials can be customised to meet different needs. For example, if there are several versions of the same product, the Bill of Materials can be modified for one version to be used for all the others.

A Bill of Materials doesn’t have to just be a list of words. It can also include pictures of the parts you’re looking for to make them easier to identify. Using a wireless mobile device, parts on a bill of materials can quickly be located within your warehouse.

If you don’t use everything on the Bill of Materials, you can easily adjust the records to show the actual number of parts you used, instead of the planned number. This cuts down on wasted materials and it keeps your records accurate.
