Build a Fishbowl Inventory Dashboard with AI (On-Hand Value, Low Stock, Negative Qty, Cycle Counts)
Inventory is the biggest number on the balance sheet and the hardest to feel day to day. Fishbowl holds every part; what’s missing is a health check you can read in ten seconds.
In this video I don’t build a report. I ask ILC MCP for the Inventory Health Dashboard and it builds it live, against a Fishbowl database, writing the queries itself. No Jasper editor, no paid reporting add-on, no ticket to a consultant.
That’s the point of the dual approach: Fishbowl’s built-in reporting is rigid, and anything custom usually means iReport/Jasper or a third-party tool. Here the AI reads the live data through the MCP and lays the numbers out for you.
The Inventory Health Dashboard puts the inventory questions on one screen:
- On-hand value by location
- Low stock — at or below reorder point
- Negative quantities to fix
- Cycle counts due and their variance
The demo runs on representative sample data, so nothing here is a real customer’s numbers — but it’s the same build you’d run against your own Fishbowl.
