Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Front

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and Fishbowl Manufacturing.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Accounts, Inboxes, Tags, Teammates in Front with Manufacture orders, Bills of materials, Customers, Vendors in Fishbowl Manufacturing bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Sync e-commerce orders into Fishbowl as sales orders and return fulfillment status and tracking numbers.
  • Mirror on-hand inventory by location into sales channels to prevent overselling.
