Fishbowl Inventory: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Fishbowl Inventory is cloud-based inventory and warehouse management software aimed at small and mid-sized businesses. It tracks stock across multiple locations, supports barcode scanning for receiving, picking and shipping through the Fishbowl GO mobile app, and offers lot, serial and expiry tracking, automated reorder points and forecasting. It integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, e-commerce platforms, shipping services and 3PL providers. Fishbowl also offers a hosting option and a separate manufacturing product.

Fishbowl is based in the United States (American Fork, Utah) and has been owned by the US investment firm Diversis Capital since December 2021. It is therefore subject to US law such as the CLOUD Act. Its privacy statement says personal data may be transferred across state and country borders, but names no storage locations and does not mention the GDPR. European organisations should ask the vendor where their data is stored and which contractual safeguards apply.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Fishbowl Inventory

Fishbowl Inventory is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Fishbowl Inventory hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Fishbowl Inventory is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Fishbowl Inventory together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
