Case Study: Apera Instruments streamlines global operations with Fishbowl Inventory

Apera Instruments Streamlines Global Operations with Fishbowl Manufacturing Software

Apera Instruments, a global manufacturer of scientific water analysis instruments, needed a way to manage fast-growing orders, inventory, and fulfillment across the U.S. and China. With disconnected tools and manual processes creating delays and errors, the company looked at options like NetSuite and CIN7 before choosing Fishbowl Inventory for a more scalable, affordable solution.

Fishbowl Inventory implemented Fishbowl Manufacturing and Fishbowl Commerce to centralize production, inventory, and order management, while also integrating with Zoey and ShipStation to support B2B ordering and shipping workflows. The result was improved order fulfillment, better real-time inventory visibility, and less manual re-entry for Amazon orders, helping Apera streamline operations and scale more efficiently as demand grew.
