Case Study: Spark R&D achieves turbocharged production and streamlined order fulfillment with Fishbowl Inventory

Spark R&D Turbocharges its Production Process with Fishbowl Manufacturing

Spark R&D, a Bozeman-based maker of splitboard bindings, faced growing pains as a small manufacturer: an informal, closed inventory system left suppliers and stock levels unclear, orders were frequently delayed, and departments lacked visibility to coordinate production and reordering. To address these issues they adopted Fishbowl Inventory’s manufacturing product, Fishbowl Manufacturing.

Fishbowl Inventory implemented Fishbowl Manufacturing company-wide and integrated it with QuickBooks and Magento, giving each department real-time access to inventory, bills of materials, and sales orders. The result was faster, more consistent order fulfillment with fewer steps and less paperwork, improved cross-department visibility, and a scalable production process that has allowed Spark R&D to keep up with growing demand.
