Problem
Small and mid-sized manufacturers rely on complex ERP systems like Fishbowl Advanced, where routine tasks such as creating a purchase order can require more than 20 manual clicks. This friction slows down operations, increases the risk of data-entry errors, and forces teams to spend time fighting software instead of shipping product.
Solution
Aquarium provides a conversational AI assistant layer that sits on top of Fishbowl Advanced, enabling users to complete purchasing and planning workflows through natural-language chat. The assistant reads the company's live ERP data—including pricing history, supplier lead times, reorder points, and bills of materials—to ground its suggestions in real facts. When a user makes a request, Aquarium checks the data, flags exceptions, and proposes actions that the user must explicitly confirm before anything is written to Fishbowl. Every step is shown transparently, ensuring the system remains deterministic and human-in-the-loop rather than acting autonomously. The platform includes role-specific assistants: the Buyer Assistant handles purchase orders, blanket POs, and delivery tracking, while the Planner Assistant generates buying requirements and keeps production schedules current.
Target Audience
Small and mid-sized manufacturers currently using Fishbowl Advanced as their ERP system, particularly purchasing teams and operations managers who need to streamline routine workflow tasks.
