Zoho Inventory Software

Difficult program to use

Pros

Probably one of the most inexpensive softwares out there for inventory right now.

Cons

The customer service wasn't that good and also, the program was very difficult to use. I ultimately switched to another inventory management system.

Great product from my simple business

Pros

easy dashboard info and integration with Zoho books

Cons

Biggest draw back is lack of Android app for Zoho Inventory. I'm mobile and will like my sales guy to have access to inventory while on the road

Easy To Use!

If my Marketing Director is happy, I am happy. He can track my requests down to the penny!

Pros

I am a user of Zoho Inventory. As a salesperson, my marketing team has set it up for us with a front end to go in and request sales materials. I am told that everything gets tracked and they can pull reports on exactly how much I request in any given amount of time.

Cons

The front end of this software is a little goofy because this is alll in-house giveaways and we don’t really have a full out e-commerce front end.

Love the Concept, reality is that its not ready for ecommerce

Poor. I ran out of room on the cons: lack of business acumen. No ability to convert or auto convert specific sales transactions from various sales channels to final invoice in zoho books. The funny thing in discussing the sales order to invoice issue, "So many people ask for the capability". Crazy idea for an ecommerce co with multiple landing pages, Social media, and various sales channels. We have attempted to work with Zoho One and Zoho Inventory because I love the concept of having all the various systems on a single platform. You would think the mitigation of risk in todays world of ecommerce might be accomplished. I think what Zoho has perfected is the proverbial "Jack of all trades and master of none". There are simply countless holes, errors, and omissions that for one reason or another Zoho's Development team have not addressed or can not get to because the list of fixes is too long.

Pros

proposed functionality and inter connectivity with CRM, campaign, books, etc...

Too bad it does not work

I do like the chat to support, although they rarely have answers. When attempting to chat to support tonight for the below issues the system turned it into an email. Hopefully they will get back to us over the next 2-3 days.

Cons

Does not work or function properly.

example 1) ~500 transactions via amazon merchant fulfilled. Inventory was out of sync within 2 days. Orders stopped being pushed from amazon into our system as sales orders and the customer service issues ensued. Zoho had no answer and we turned off the inventory. Most if not all 3rd party consultants we have spoken to advocate back end fixes using Zoho Creator and deluge.

example 2) We add a new zoho one license for a consultant yesterday. a) the new email assigned to the consutlant does not work. b) zoho inventory decides to do a reset asking the consultant and all of our employees to walk thru the start up menu. Upon enabling zoho inventory once again, all of our transactions except those for the past 4 days are accurately in zoho inventory are in the system as sales orders. Upon review of our amazon marketplace zoho inventory integration it was turned off. Upon attempting to enable the amazon marketplace integration the application immediately recognized our credentials. Just missing last 4 days sales orders.

No integration with shipstation, its on their roadmap.

No ability to concurrently hold and run amazon merchant fulfilled and amazon FBA inventory, not supported by zoho inventory. Its either one or another.

Zoho flow integrator is limited and most 3rd party consultants laugh when you ask about using the application to resolve some of the funcationality issues between the various zoho applications.

Works great! Easy and efficient

Pros

I’m a big fan of all of the branches to Zoho. Same goes for the inventory application, I can easily add/delete and manage inventory items and merge them into my Zoho CRM. Capatability is amazing.

Cons

It could be a little more customizable with certain items but for the most part this is an overall great inventory management option.

Easy Beginners' Inventory Software

We used this to effectively manage our inventory of office products and products for sale.

Pros

I like the ease of use and the ability to barcode things easily.

Cons

There are plenty of other softwares that do the same thing with less clicks.

Great Integration with other Zoho Products

Keeping track of orders for keys versus key blanks in stock is now solved.

Pros

We only send a small number of parcels a month and its mainly keys to code for our Locksmith Business. However, I find Zoho Inventory a great help in keeping track of these orders and levels of key blanks in stock.

The intregration with other Zoho Products is excellent.

Cons

No Android Phone App for when im on the road and need to start the process for key shipment.

Zoho is great for the affordable price

Overall, for the very cheap price, this is well worth it.

Pros

It is very easy to use and set up. The customer support is good. It is very affordable. I really enjoy web-based/cloud systems - makes it so much easier.

Cons

I was under the assumption there was a free version. After actually going in and starting to set it all up, I realized it is a free trial for 14 days. I do not feel that was clearly communicated. Regardless, the cost per year is very, very cheap compared to most of the other inventory management systems out there. Also, I cannot seem to use my own templates which means I have to redo it all in Zoho.

Easy to use and very effective

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.

Good inventory management software

Pros

Zoho Inventory is a pretty good inventory management software. It helps smaller companies manage their orders and control inventory.

Cons

While Zoho Inventory is good it didn't quite fit our company needs. There were several features that we didn't see with Zoho.

Zoho is a great program to use if you are working with multi-channel inventory

Ease of use for multi-channel inventory management

Pros

I liked how Zoho made the task of moving from one shopping channel to the next a simple process that allowed me to save time and use inventory control to increase the profit of my business.

Cons

Occasional issues that were solved quickly by customer service. Timing out of pages before they save, etc.

An invaluable tool to organize our stock at work.

Before using Zoho Inventory, we had a software compendium that allowed us to do the same work now, but we took a lot of time in the organization of accounting and distribution of liquefied gas. Zoho Inventory agglutinated all these functions simplifying the work of inventorying

Pros

Another great invention of the Zoho brand, with its inventory version, has created excellent expectations in our company, and there are many reasons.

-Organizes in real time the stock of LPG liquefied gas in bulk, allowing us to know exactly how much product we have.

-Elaboration of simple route guides for each of the products.

-Organize the order, shipping, payments, and information of our customers.

- Update the status of the order in real time

Cons

Like other programs of the Zoho chain, it is essential that the internet has an acceptable stability and speed, otherwise the software does not work optimally

Love this software! Really useful.

To manage and monitor inventory reports on a daily and weekly basis!

Pros

I use this software at the studio to monitor and manage inventory reports, and easily access data and plans for our daily, weekly and monthly schedules, especially delivering photographic equipment, receiving orders and monitoring the overall process.

Cons

The price! It could be a better deal, more cheap. I find it a bit expensive. But apart from this, I am happy with this product!

Full Inventory for your Sales Business

Pros

Integrates with Zoho CRM to save time on manually entering information into invoices. Product building is a breeze and it seems to track inventory QUANTITIES accurately. Clean templates and tons of room to customize everything.

Cons

Uses a "physical" and "accounting" inventory valuation system, which is confusing to look at. Was recently updated and working better.

Great for tracking sales orders

Overall, I would say it's more useful for tracking sales and storing customer information than actual, in-depth inventory management.

Pros

Zoho is a great tool for tracking sales orders, SKUs, and shipments, and storing customer information. You can attach files to each order, which can be very useful when there is additional relevant documentation that needs to be referenced. Visually, it's appealing and allows for photos of each product, so you can tell exactly what products are involved at a glance.

Cons

There is no app that I'm aware of, which would be handy for a salesperson who's on the road. It also lacks features for more in-depth inventory management: it allows the user to track the number of items under each SKU, but lacks the ability to add serial numbers of each individual item along with details for each individual item.

Inventory Management that isn't scary

Easily manage our store inventory for furniture, millwork and accessories between team members for global programs.

Pros

Zoho Inventory works well for tracking orders, and monitoring your inventory stock. It is a plus that it offers connections to services such as Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.

Cons

Not all of the available connectors work to sync both ways, and sometimes that additional cost to connect your store with the inventory system is a hassle.

its an awsm software and india needs this

Pros

its automation and bank feeds.most of the work is automatically done with the use of different apis.

Cons

nothing ...everything which is needed is adding by developers day after day.
please link with state bank of india as soon as possible.

if its Zoho, it is greate

Pros

You can always rely on Zoho products. The Zoho Inventory is a great example of an inventory system that can help you track your stocks, sales, and even provide reports that can help your company. Integration with other zoho products is also easy

Cons

Its simplicity did not affect its effectiveness. I can't see anything wrong with this software as it can deliver to its promise.

Easy to use

Pros

The great features were easy to use & understand with lots of features & functions which could be changed & modified easily.

Cons

I find that the component itself along with the price for other products is too expensive when you are using multiple zoho programs.

Zoho is a great tool!

Invoice service and customer relations management. The web based nature of the software enable me and my multi-location crew to all work together and stay efficient.

Pros

Web based, easy and intuitive interface. Multiple services on a single platform. Very reasonably priced. Great for small business.

Cons

Doesn't have all of the features that I would need. But, that is the tradeoff with the easy/intuitive nature of the software... For what it is I have no real cons.
