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

Servigistics is very well suited if you are in need of a one-stop solution for all your Inventory Management scenarios. The software can be molded & updated as per your liking and can cater to a wide variety of industries, be it logistics, manufacturing, or even pharmaceuticals. Back end support is the best if you face any issue while using the software & your queries are resolved with utmost precision & within the specified time frame Slight upgrade in GUI would make this one of the best tools in the market when it comes to Inventory Management

• 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.

Incentivized

• GUI updates can be done on a more frequent basis
• Better FAQ section & the ability to connect with a specialist in case you have a specific problem that needs resolution
• The ability to modify the service on the go rather than go through a lengthy process of approvals

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.

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
