Looking for a Fishbowl Inventory alternative?

Fishbowl is an established warehouse and manufacturing system. Several of its own reviewers say the interface feels dated and takes real time to learn. Count My Boxes runs entirely in the browser, with a spreadsheet-style grid for bulk edits and a catalog that's live the same day you import it.

What Fishbowl users have run into

"The system can feel a bit outdated and not as intuitive as newer inventory platforms."

— Jaisson M., warehouse manager, Capterra review of Fishbowl, March 2026

It's not a one-off comment — other Fishbowl reviewers describe the interface as needing modernization and note a real learning curve before new team members are productive. That tracks with a system built for desktop-installed client software rather than a browser from day one.

How Count My Boxes handles it

Runs in the browser, no install

No desktop client to install or update. Sign in from any computer and every teammate sees the same live data.

Spreadsheet-style quick-edit grid

Edit prices and quantities across hundreds of items in one pass, in a grid that feels like the spreadsheet your team already knows.

Live the same day

Export a spreadsheet from your current system, import it, and your catalog is live in minutes — no training required to get started.
