It covers the entire field of accounting including document management, inventory management etc. It has a certain limit while dealing with these factors. As the companies grow organizers find that the QuickBooks Inventory control capabilities are no longer sufficient for their inventory control needs. Their business expand beyond multiple locations, the number of products they keep stock of, increases. There might be a case that they have moved into manufacturing and they need wireless bar coding, etc. At these situations, FishBowl inventory plays a vital role and provides full integration to QuickBooks.
