OnHandIMS vs Fishbowl
Fishbowl is a serious manufacturing and warehouse system with a long history and a large feature surface. It is also a large installation, a large price, and a large amount of it that a distributor will never open.

Where Fishbowl is the better answer
Fishbowl if you manufacture: multi-level bills of material, work orders, serial and lot tracking through production, and deep QuickBooks Desktop integration. Those are real features and we do not have them.
Where we are
If you buy finished goods and sell them, most of Fishbowl is weight you carry and pay for. We do the distribution half properly and stop there.
