# Distributors + Fishbowl — Israel Lopez Consulting

> Fishbowl help for wholesale distributors: multi-warehouse inventory accuracy, reorder points, dropship, EDI, and shipping integrations tied to clean books.

## The problems we see

Wholesale distributors live and die on inventory accuracy, and that is exactly where Fishbowl tends to slip. Counts drift across warehouses, so what the system says is on the shelf and what is actually there stop matching. Reorder points are stale or never set, so fast movers stock out while dead stock ties up cash. Purchasing happens by gut instead of by the numbers.

Then there are the connections. Orders flow in from a webstore, a marketplace, or an EDI trading partner, and someone is re-keying them into Fishbowl by hand. Dropship orders get lost between the supplier and the customer. Landed cost from freight and duties never makes it onto the part, so margins are a guess. Every one of those gaps slows down order turnaround and clouds the books.

## How we help

We reconcile Fishbowl and QuickBooks so they agree to the penny, then fix the cause so the drift stops coming back. We set up multi-warehouse inventory, reorder points, and purchasing the way your business actually runs. And we automate the order, shipping, and EDI hand-offs so nobody is re-typing what a system already knows.
