Why teams connect Fishbowl Manufacturing and Smartsheet

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Smartsheet 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Rows, Columns, Cells, Reports in Smartsheet with Purchase orders, Manufacture orders, Bills of materials, Customers 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

  • 01 Write records from a CRM or ERP into Smartsheet Rows so ops teams manage intake and status in a grid, then push status Cells back to the source.
  • 02 Pull Reports and Sheets into a warehouse for cross-project reporting and dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync manufacture order status into planning dashboards or a data warehouse.
  • 04 Push purchase orders from procurement tools into Fishbowl and sync receipts back on arrival.
