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.

  • Insights and inventory forecasting from Zoho Inventory's reports mean that a store need never be under-stock or overstock of items again.

    Easy to use and very effective

    Reviewed on 1/08/2018

    Pros

    We acquired Zoho Inventory through our Computer and Computing Department, which, observing the great problems that were presented to us with the classification of samples, offered this excellent tool that, complemented with other software, has substantially improved our performance at work.

    Zoho Inventory is a powerful tool that allows us an adequate and standardized classification of our chemical samples, converting them into information that can be inventoried, leaving as a result the organization that every company or corporation in charge of the chemical area wants, that is, a sample coherently organized. For this reason we strongly recommend this software.

    Cons

    A software that is constantly updated and improved, based on the observations and suggestions of its users; with a technical department of high capabilities that identify software problems and improve them in their updates, because I believe it is a software that has no weak points that have to be reviewed here.

    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.

    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.

    I looked around for a software that would fit our needs as a growing company. Some programs were way too complicated to use. Zoho has the additional benefit of having "sister" software for bookkeeping, etc and the price is spot-on.

    Pros

    It is all I need for inventory management and it's easy to use!

    Cons

    I guess it can be more visibly appealing.

    Pros

    The interface and the integrations, especially the shipping one.

    Cons

    I would have really liked it if you had more integrations other than Shopify or ebay...a direct connection with woocommerce would have been great. Not that happy with kloud connector really.
