Outgrowing Fishbowl Inventory? OneAce ships modern cloud-native counting.
Skip the desktop install, the on-prem maintenance, and the $329/month entry tier. OneAce runs in the browser, syncs to QuickBooks, and ships every feature on every plan.
Free for under 100 items. Cloud-only — nothing to install.
Why teams move from Fishbowl
Six reasons Fishbowl users land on OneAce
Each row reflects published Fishbowl Advanced and Fishbowl Drive product behavior as of 2026-05-24.
Cloud-native — nothing to install
Fishbowl Advanced runs on a Windows server you maintain. OneAce runs in the browser. No client install, no backup schedule to babysit, no version upgrades to plan.
Cycle counting as a first-class flow
Six explicit methodologies — cycle, full, spot, blind, double-blind, directed — with per-zone scopes and approval routing. Fishbowl ships a physical-count worksheet without methodology choices.
Eight-locale interface
English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Arabic in the same product. Fishbowl ships English only — international teams translate by hand.
Mobile web on every device
Open the browser, scan a barcode, count an item. No separate mobile app to install on every counter's phone. Works on iOS, Android, and ChromeOS without an app store account.
Multi-counter live dashboard
Per-counter progress, per-zone progress, variance preview, and exception queue update in real time. Fishbowl has no equivalent live multi-counter view.
Real free tier for under 100 items
Fishbowl Drive starts at $329/month for one or two users. OneAce stays free under 100 items so you can run a real cycle count before you commit.
Data mapping
What we migrate from Fishbowl
Export from Fishbowl as CSV, or hand us a database snapshot. Our import wizard maps the columns and walks ambiguous rows past you.
Parts / Products
OneAce field: Items
Fishbowl's part numbers become OneAce SKUs. Bundle parts map to kits with components.
Locations / Location Groups
OneAce field: Warehouses + bins
Location Groups become warehouses. Sub-locations and bins map to OneAce bins on every plan.
Vendors
OneAce field: Suppliers
Vendor terms, default lead time, and contact roles all transfer.
Customers
OneAce field: Customers
Billing and shipping addresses kept distinct.
Sales Orders
OneAce field: Sales orders
Open sales orders transfer with line items, status, and fulfillment plan.
Purchase Orders
OneAce field: Purchase orders
Receive + putaway flows in OneAce; partial receipts supported on every plan.
Bill of Materials
OneAce field: Kit components
Single-level BOMs map directly. Multi-level structures imported as flat kits.
User roles
OneAce field: Members + capability roles
Fishbowl's role groups map to OneAce's capability matrix. Approver gates explicit.
QuickBooks COGS posting
OneAce field: QuickBooks sync (bidirectional)
Fishbowl users almost always run QuickBooks too — OneAce wires straight to QBO without a desktop sync bridge.
Three steps
Migrate in three steps
- 1
Export from Fishbowl
Use Fishbowl's CSV exports for parts, locations, vendors, customers, and open orders. Or grant us a read-only database snapshot for a richer cutover.
- 2
Drop into OneAce import wizard
Map columns once. The wizard preserves your choices for the next import. Manual review for any row the auto-mapper marks ambiguous.
- 3
Connect QuickBooks
Fishbowl users almost universally run QuickBooks. OneAce wires straight to QuickBooks Online — no desktop sync bridge, no nightly batch job to maintain.
What you keep
Every important workflow has a home
Cloud-first does not mean feature-light. Each workflow you rely on in Fishbowl has a direct equivalent in OneAce.
- Barcode + QR scanning on every device (camera and keyboard wedge).
- Mobile-first counting UX in the browser — no separate app install per counter.
- Interface in eight languages with formal register where appropriate.
- Offline web counting via local cache — resume after a connection drop.
