Fishbowl QuickBooks together offer a true
End-to-End Solution

• Chuck Hale, Co-Owner of
• BC Technical, West Jordan, Utah
• We started using Fishbowl inventory with
  QuickBooks nearly 4 years ago as a somewhat small
  company doing 2M a year.  We have now grown to a
  16M company and within the next 3 years will hit
  over 60M.  Fishbowl integrated with QuickBooks
  worked great in the beginning and will work great
  when we are a 60M company.  At any one time we
  will have 5 or 6 users on QuickBooks with as many
  as 50 users on Fishbowl Inventory with great
  performance.  We love our combination of
  QuickBooks and Fishbowl.  I do not see us ever
  changing as both QuickBooks and Fishbowl
  Inventory seem to grow with us.

• We added Fishbowl Inventory and this was the
  solution to our problems. It is very user
  friendly and accurate. It doesn't allow a
  transaction to be fulfilled without proper
  inventory. We have five offices and each is
  responsible for counting their inventory.
  Fishbowl Inventory allows us to see how accurate
  each location is in counting and helps us to
  better monitor inventory. We've save so much time
  by using Fishbowl Inventory. We love the software
  and would highly recommend it to anybody with
  large inventories to be accountable for. - MGC
