Case Study: Oliver Smith & Co. scales custom candle operations with Fishbowl Inventory

Boutique Private Label Manufacturer Scales Custom Candle Operations with Fishbowl

Oliver Smith & Co., a boutique private label manufacturer based in Atlanta, Georgia, creates custom gift and lifestyle products for major retail chains, including custom candles made in-house. As the business grew, the team needed a better way to track raw materials, manage small-batch custom orders, coordinate sourcing and production, and replace spreadsheet-based processes with a more structured system. Fishbowl Inventory helped provide that operational clarity.

Oliver Smith & Co. implemented Fishbowl Inventory to manage inventory, generate work orders, and track costs across custom jobs, with QuickBooks integration keeping financials aligned. The result was improved inventory visibility, better job costing, smoother production control, and a scalable foundation for growth. Fishbowl Inventory gave the team confidence to manage complex operations without relying on spreadsheets, while supporting continued expansion of their candle business.
