# 3PL & Fulfillment + Fishbowl — Israel Lopez Consulting

> Fishbowl setup and integrations for 3PLs: multi-client inventory separation, accurate pick pack ship, carrier integrations, and clean storage and handling billing.

## The problems we see

Third-party logistics operators ask Fishbowl to do things it was never set up to do out of the box. The hardest one is keeping each client's inventory cleanly separated when it all sits in the same building. When locations, tags, and ownership are not modeled right, stock from two clients blurs together and the counts stop being trustworthy.

Receiving and putaway are another sore spot. Inbound shipments arrive without clean reference data, so putaway is slow and pick accuracy suffers later. At volume, a small percentage of bad picks turns into a steady stream of returns and credits. And when it comes time to bill clients for storage and handling, the numbers are reconstructed from memory and spreadsheets instead of pulled from the system.

## How we help

We set up Fishbowl so each client's inventory is genuinely isolated and the on-hand numbers hold up. We tighten receiving, putaway, and pick pack ship so orders go out right the first time.

The most relevant services for 3PLs:

- [Fishbowl Implementation](/fishbowl-implementation) to model multi-client inventory, locations, and order flow correctly.
- [Integrations](/integrations) to connect carriers and ShipStation-style shipping so labels and tracking flow without re-keying.
- [Fishbowl Custom Reports](/fishbowl-custom-reports) to turn storage and handling activity into client billing you can defend.
- [Custom Software](/custom-software) when an off-the-shelf piece does not exist for how you run.
