Imagine if you could magically erase 16 costly work hours from your company’s business day. That dream-come-true is what has Tim Balsimo, president and founder of Quality Pet Products in Woodbury, Minnesota, touting the benefits of inventory tracking software.

Three years ago, Balsimo was shopping around for a solution that would work with QuickBooks. He wanted to new solution to cut operation time and expense as well as to create a web-based order entry system. Lastly, he wanted to  become AIB-certified (American Institute of Baking), which meant he had to have a way to track every single edible item in and out of his warehouse by lot number or barcode—helpful in the event of a recall.

After looking at various options Balsimo finally settled on Fishbowl and now he brags about a .001 percent inventory variance—while other companies are satisfied with as much as a 1 to 2 percent variance.
