The trainer also helped build Miakomo’s database, which involved entering the company’s numerous parts, products, bills of materials, customers, vendors, warehouse locations, and user logins and permissions. The trainer also helped them configure, set up, and integrate the ShipStation and Shopify plugins with Fishbowl, and tested the software by creating and sending a live purchase order to a vendor within Fishbowl and then receiving a live purchase order within Fishbowl from a pre-existing purchase order.
