# Fishbowl Multi-Entity (Fishbowl to Fishbowl) — Israel Lopez Consulting

> Run multiple Fishbowl databases as one operation. We sync master data, inventory, and orders between Fishbowl instances so multi-entity businesses stay consistent.

## What we connect

Some businesses run more than one Fishbowl database: separate entities or divisions, or a procurement and inventory-ownership database that feeds a downstream fulfillment database. ILC builds Fishbowl-to-Fishbowl integrations that keep those instances in step, so parts, products, customers, and orders stay consistent across every database without anyone re-keying.

A common setup we handle: one Fishbowl database owns inventory and purchasing, and a second handles customer orders and fulfillment. We synchronize master data one direction and orders or shipment data the other, so each database does its job while the whole operation reads as one.

## How it works

We connect the databases through a central integration layer instead of overlapping point-to-point processes, using the ILC Integration Server. That keeps the sync consistent and secure, and easier to extend as you add entities. We map exactly which records flow which way, handle conflicts, and document it so your team can run it.

Reporting across the entities too? See [Fishbowl Custom Reports](/fishbowl-custom-reports) and [Power BI](/integrations/power-bi).
