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]

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]

FB Inventory runs on its own database as an application on the TS, which needs someone (ME) to login with adequate permission to start the FB server. If the login account (ME) times out the FB server shuts down and disconnects all the user. However, if I keep the login active, FB behaves just fine.

I recall a client at my old job that had similar issues with fishbowl, and we had to leave their server logged in locally. Do you have a KVM for the machine? You may need to actually log in and leave it logged in at the console.

Fishbowl Drive is a cloud-based inventory management solution that you can access on any device through a web browser. There's no software to download or server to maintain. Fishbowl Drive integrates with many popular business solutions, including QuickBooks Online, and offers a wide range of tools such as sales orders, purchase orders, and more to help you effectively manage your inventory.

Boxstorm is developed by Fishbowl, makers of the #1 manufacturing and warehouse management solutions for QuickBooks. Since 2001, Fishbowl has been used by thousands of SMBs in a variety of industries, and Boxstorm was designed based on 15 years of customer input that made Fishbowl's desktop software #1 with small business owners. You can trust that Boxstorm's online inventory features are the best in the business because of the long track record Fishbowl has of providing top-notch, affordable inventory solutions for SMBs.
