Fishbowl (formerly ExpressTech Holdings) is an Orem, Utah-based software company that develops and publishes inventory management software and related software.[1]

History

Fishbowl was formed in 2001 by Chuck and Beverly Hale, two business owners in Salt Lake City. The pair invested $3 million into the software company and went through several CEOs in rapid succession.[2] In 2004, they hired consultant David K. Williams, who was able to reorganize the company, and eliminate its debt.[3]

In 2015, Fishbowl was named to a list of companies for employee financial security.[4][5] Fishbowl has also earned a number of business awards for its revenue growth from organizations such as Inc. 5000, Deloitte, MountainWest Capital, and Global Red Herring.[6][7][8][9]

Products

The company's flagship product, formerly called Fishbowl Inventory, is inventory management software that integrates with QuickBooks. It separated into two products, Fishbowl Manufacturing and Fishbowl Warehouse.[10][11] From 2003 to 2009, Fishbowl was the top-selling manufacturing and warehouse management product for QuickBooks.[12]

In addition, Fishbowl Manufacturing and Fishbowl Warehouse claims to integrate with QuickBooks Online and other technology.[13]

Philanthropy

Fishbowl donated its software to a local elementary school in Utah. The company has also partnered with several Utah groups and companies to create the Courage Above Mountains Foundation, which provides job education and additional services to low-income mothers and other people in need, as well as local resources for entrepreneurs.[14][15]
