In 2015, Fishbowl was named to a list of companies for employee financial security. Fishbowl has also earned a number of business awards for its revenue growth from organizations such as Inc. 5000, Deloitte, MountainWest Capital, and Global Red Herring. [3] [4] [5] [6]

In December 2021, Fishbowl was acquired by Diversis Capital Management, LP, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm focused on investing in software and technology-enabled services organizations. [7] [8]

Diversis Capital, via its portfolio company Fishbowl, acquired Red Salt in 2022. [9]

In 2023, the company acquired Sellware. [10]

Products

The company's flagship product, formerly called Fishbowl Inventory, is inventory management software that integrates with QuickBooks. It separated into three products, Fishbowl Manufacturing, Fishbowl Warehouse, and Boxstorm, which is a SaaS product. [11] [12] As of 2009, Fishbowl has been the top-selling manufacturing and warehouse management product for QuickBooks since 2003. [13]

In addition, Fishbowl Manufacturing, Fishbowl Warehouse, and Boxstorm claim to integrate with QuickBooks Online and other technology. [14]

Boxstorm is a cloud-based inventory management software and mobile app created in 2017 by Fishbowl. [15] Boxstorm is intended for small businesses. [16]

The free version of Boxstorm is called Boxstorm Forever Free. Fishbowl claims it is the first no-cost online inventory management software to integrate with QuickBooks Online. [17] It can be used to scan barcodes, add inventory, perform cycle counts, assign units of measure, and create locations to store inventory. [18]

There are three paid versions of Boxstorm that include other features, such as sales orders, purchase orders, vendors, taxes, stock alerts, and user permissions. [19]
