Fishbowl Inventory vs. SAP Extended Warehouse Management

The purchasing function is very good - tracking and linking parts to sales orders, shortage reports, and part summaries.

If you have complicated internal warehouse movements or you have large area where you handle internal logistics, this tool is very useful to coordinate those actions. You can define and configure it to your liking and make it as detail as you need. In case you do not have that should not consider this module.

• Reporting: Many of the reports that are provided for free with Fishbowl are useless in the context of everyday manufacturing and production planning. Some reports provide inaccurate information. In order to use get useful and correct reports, outside developers must be paid (a new or modified report may cost anywhere from $150 to $2000)
• Customer service can be hit or miss. In our experience, a knowledgeable person is rarely available, but for the most part customer service has no idea how real manufacturing works to provide reasonable answers to fix Fishbowl shortfalls.

• The integration with s4 surroundings is very poor. checks in eg. accounting is not performed in SAP Extended Warehouse Management and accumulate in the inbox for s4

Could be better GUI, Fiori will help... Due to our customizations, it's hard to upgrade and to migrate to RISE.

Originally the support for Fishbowl was very poor. It was hard to get anyone to help. In the last 12 - 14 months, it has greatly improved and if it continues this way I would certainly rate it higher.

We are using Max attention, which is a perfect (but costly) extension for prod support.

Fishbowl could be tailored to accommodate our needs and to integrate with other providers to offer the seamless work flow. Others that I investigated were much more expensive or couldn't do the tasks we were requiring. The final analysis was that Fishbowl offered a cost effective way for us to manage our business

It's more customizable but connectivity is poorer.
