History
Fishbowl was founded in 2001 by Chuck and Beverly Hale.[2][3] In 2004, David K. Williams was appointed CEO and Fishbowl released an inventory management tool integrated with QuickBooks and Xero.[4][5]
In May 2011, Fishbowl's management and employees completed a buyout of the founders' stake, financed by Zions Bank.[3][6]
In December 2021, Fishbowl was acquired by Diversis Capital, a private equity firm.[7] Following the acquisition, Fishbowl began to acquire other companies. In 2022, it purchased Red Salt, its Australian distribution partner, to serve as its Asia-Pacific headquarters.[7][8] In early 2023, Fishbowl acquired Sellware, a multi-channel e-commerce platform.[9]

Fishbowl Inventory provides businesses with real-time inventory tracking, order management, and warehouse tools.[3] Fishbowl Manufacturing includes all features of Fishbowl Inventory, along with manufacturing-specific capabilities, and integrates with Intuit QuickBooks and Xero.[3][7]
