Fishbowl Inventory

Fishbowl was formed in 2001 by Chuck and Beverly Hale, two business owners in Salt Lake City. The pair invested $3 million into the software company and went through several CEOs in rapid succession.[2][3]

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.[4][5][6][7]

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.[8][9]

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.[10][11] As of 2009, Fishbowl has been the top-selling manufacturing and warehouse management product for QuickBooks since 2003.[12]

In addition, Fishbowl Manufacturing, Fishbowl Warehouse, and Boxstorm claim to integrate with QuickBooks Online and other technology.[13]

Boxstorm is a cloud-based inventory management software and mobile app created in 2017 by Fishbowl.[14] Boxstorm is intended for small businesses.[15]

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.[16] It can be used to scan barcodes, add inventory, perform cycle counts, assign units of measure, and create locations to store inventory.[17]

There are three paid versions of Boxstorm that include other features, such as sales orders, purchase orders, vendors, taxes, stock alerts, and user permissions.[18]
