Build a Fishbowl Receiving Dashboard with AI (Dock & Put-away, Over/Short Receipts)
The receiving dock is where the day’s plan meets reality. Fishbowl knows what’s inbound, but the team on the floor needs it on a screen, not in a report request queue.
In this video I don’t build a report. I ask ILC MCP for the Dock & Put-away 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 Dock & Put-away Dashboard puts the receiving questions on one screen:
- Inbound due at the dock today
- Received but not yet put away
- Over and short receipts to review
- Receipts completed today
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.
