About Zoho Inventory

Zoho Inventory is cloud-based inventory management software that helps businesses create and manage both sales and purchase orders and track inventory. Features include item and order management, inventory control, warehouse management, multi channel selling, and more. The platform offers integration with online sales channels like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, shipment tracking tools such as AfterShip and DPD, shopping carts like Shopify, as well as other Zoho apps such as Zoho Books accounting software, Zoho Analytics, and Zoho CRM. Zoho Inventory also offers a mobile app for Android and iOS devices, which allows users to manage contacts, access real-time data, track sales orders, manage multiple warehouses, view invoices and payments, and more, whilst on-the-go.

Businesses can automatically update their inventory quantities across all selling channels whenever a sale is made thanks to Zoho Inventory's automatic quantity adjustment feature. Businesses can monitor stock levels and the system can automatically re-order stock when levels hit a certain point. The platform facilitates the automation of the entire sales process, including the creation of sales orders, printing shipping labels, shipping products, tracking the delivery status, and sending invoices to customers.

The comprehensive dashboard tool within Zoho Inventory provides businesses with reports to get instant visibility into business metrics such as inventory levels, order fulfillment rates, product sales, purchase order history, and more. Users can see which products are best-sellers with sales reports and get details about loyal customers and their payment history.


Key benefits of Zoho Inventory

  • Identify which products are the best selling, most popular items and see which products are running low on stock, from the Zoho Inventory dashboard.

  • Receive alerts when an item is running low and use the automatic reordering feature to ensure that stock-outs never occur.

    Overall if you want to keep track of your stock, especially if your selling, Zoho is a great tool to use.

    Pros

    My previous school did not have an inventory system so I thought I'd give this a go. It was really great and easy to get the hang of. I like how you can see the status of inventory in bulk or individually easily.

    Cons

    It's mostly centred around sales / commerce, not really for schools.

    Functional company, hands on management. Can write to them any time, it's a different thing that they don't reply, but get the ball moving through their team !

    Pros

    Practical features that are used by any warehouse daily, pick list, packing list, item management, batch / serial number management etc... all in all a complete package for warehouse management.

    Cons

    Can be more economical due to scale of zoho, they could pass some more discount to clients.

    I thought it was the perfect software, but everything I needed it to do proved to be unfinished or unavailable.

    Pros

    What attracted me to Zoho was the seemingly user-friendly interface, which lended to jumping around from customer profiles, financials, to products, orders, etc quite fluidly. It lets you have multiple currency price lists which is HARD TO FIND. I liked the possibility to easily upgrade to other Zoho products like the CRM.

    Cons

    Every other feature that was important to my setup was only partially available, or had major limitations leaving the "features" useless. Woocommerce integration is shown as available through a third party - but that plugin is both expensive and DOES NOT WORK. Shopify connection ONLY GOES ONE WAY (shopify to zoho, NO INVENTORY SYNCING!!) The Sales Order/Shipping/Invoicing system is unnecessarily messy and very hard to truly automate, due to lack of connections.

    Although it's early the client has a much better grasp of their unique inventory management challenges and have been quickly adapting to a much more comprehensive solution that is ultimately easier to use

    Pros

    Our client, a trucking parts supplier, needed a warehouse/ inventory management system that would integrate with their new Shopify sales channel. The seamless integration and robust features of the software are what fit the bill for this particular business situation perfectly.

    Cons

    For the Canadian market the accounting module of Zoho has some minor shortcomings when compared with more popular accounting solutions in the region.

    Alternatives Considered

    QuickBooks Enterprise and Xero

    Reasons for Choosing Zoho Inventory

    The accounting that the company had been using was not sufficient to manage their complex supply chain and multiple selling channels. Staying with the existing software would require a custom integration solution that would have been financially prohibitive for the company at this time. Zoho came with the features and integrations that were required for a small fraction of the comparative costs.

    It is a great tool for anyone looking to start off with E-commerce business and handling over 100 plus orders a month, to keep a track of the equipment or inventory.

    Pros

    There are plenty of options out there in the market for a well-integrated tool, however, the features in Zoho Desk come at a low cost and are at par with other players, the top features which I loved about the product are:
    1) Order Management
    2) Invoicing
    3) Integration with other tools available
    4) works closely with other Zoho Products
    5) Ease of access
    6) Reporting and Dashboard is better than other players in the same domain
    7) Handles RMA easily

    Cons

    Each tool comes with a few drawbacks though:
    1) Lack of Equipment Rental feature
    2) Composite Items feature doesn't function well, needs more tweaking from the user

    Alternatives Considered

    Cin7 Core, Megaventory and EZRentOut

    Reasons for Choosing Zoho Inventory

    The older tool was not enough for equipment tracking and invoicing, we had to switch between tools to get both of them done, Zoho Inventory provides both of them under the same umbrella, thus giving my team the ease of access and saving valuable time.

    Reasons for Switching to Zoho Inventory

    It provided the same or in some cases more features at a lower cost.
