Hello Ubercart,

I am wondering if any user of Ubercart is also using Fishbowl Inventory to manage their local warehouse inventory, purchasing, and sales order processing?

More information regarding Fishbowl Inventory can be found at their website:
http://www.fishbowlinventory.com/

I know Drupal supports Exporting/Importing as well does Fishbowl Inventory, so it seems all we need is a "go between" application that can export orders/credit cards/customers from Ubercart and import this data into Fishbowl Inventory, as well as export inventory quantities/pricing/sku from Fishbowl Inventory and import this data into Ubercart.

Both Ubercart and Fishbowl Inventory would compliment each other and provide additional flexibility in the market place.

Fishbowl Inventory's import/export feature is CSV-file based, which would be super easy to hook up with Drupal!

Currently, what we are doing, is customers place online orders, and then a member from our sales team must log into our Drupal website, browse to Ubercart's "Orders", and then transfer each and every online order BY HAND one-by-one to our Fishbowl Inventory software that manages our entire company.

We don't process credit cards online either, the plan right now is to have credit cards stored temporarily (no more than 24 hours) on our Ubercart system before it is copied BY HAND to Fishbowl Inventory where we do process credit cards locally in our building through our own processing terminals.

So you can see, if Ubercart and Fishbowl Inventory could communicate to one another, it would really make life on our sales personnel much simpler and free up their time to better focus on customer service.

Hey guys,

I never knew there was a QB Integration board here, so I just moved this thread from the Support forum to here.

After reading some other posts, what does the Ubercart Quickbooks Integration export file look like? Is it a CSV file? If so then this is most likely what I am looking for!

Can someone please help?

Thanks!

I have done Fishbowl integration with ZNode cart, but not Ubercart.

Thanks Robert.

I sent sent you a PM regarding this. I know I can do this manually with CSV exports, but I am searching for an automated solution.

Any additional information you may have would be appreciated!

Hello Duane,

It has been nearly 1 and 1/2 years since I spoke on the phone with a DH representative and they still have not 1) contacted me back, nor 2) built anything for Ubercart (apparently).

Just for kicks I filled in the contact form on their website and sent in yet another request for integration with Fishbowl.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It has been over 1 week and still no reply. Obviously the company you recommended is not interested in Ubercart. Thanks for teasing me. Frankly your post should be deleted to prevent traffic from finding that company.

BigMike - do they have integration documentation for this? I was wondering if you had access to it as a customer...who knows, it may not actually be that hard to write a solution, but since I haven't worked for Fishbowl before I was wondering if they have something available on the documentation side.

All the best,

Excellent idea, I will look into this today.
