    Well suited for Financial management in terms of processes and reporting, well suited for supply chain operations, less appropriate for certain types of businesses, such as rental management.

    Zoho
    It's a basic system which does some things well but the things it does well are the basic things you would expect! Many other features that are a little beyond basic are just not available or you can get 90% of the way there but get stuck on the final 10% so you need to hire a developer who can try to get you through the last bit. An inventory management system with no bin locations pretty much sums it up. The reporting system is terrible. To get any real use you need to integrate it with Zoho Analytics but the problem there is it only syncs every 3 hours. The integrated shipping process is extremely cumbersome

    • Templates within Zoho Inventory are very weak. You can't customize many including package slips, shipment docs, etc...
    • When an order has multiple packages, it's next to impossible to find the item you are looking for. Scenario, a large order has many packages and a customer has cancelled one of the items. You must click through every package to find the item, edit the package and remove it before you can cancel the item.
    • The reports within Inventory are extremely basic and many of them are useless
    • The packing slip module is useless as it does not print out bin locations
    • It's an inventory management system but it does not have bin locations
    • The backorder system is useless. If you "backorder" something then the whole order is locked until the backorder arrives in. Scenario.... a client orders 20 items, 1 is on backorder. You "backorder" that one item but want to ship the other 19... not possible. The order gets completely locked.
    • You can't print out RMA requests. There is just no option to do it, you have to do a screen shot
    • Integration with Amazon or other 3rd party e-commerce providers is troublesome.

    It is relatively easy to customise but the problem is sometimes it is not easy to see where this customisation is available. Also the integrations with external systems can prove problematic both during installation and ongoing development and maintenance. It's great for small companies with a simple inventory or even larger organisations with smaller product lines. And it is reasonably priced if you ar eprepared to put the time in.

    D365 SCM is good for the SMB market. has very good UX and integrates with Microsoft products well. It is easier to learn D365 compared to SAP SCM. It can be implemented very fast compared to SAP SCM. Resources to implement D365 are available in the market easily compared to SAP SCM.

    The inventory management is better than QuickBooks however you give up an awful lot to get that benefit. The reporting in QuickBooks is far superior. The reporting in Inventory is terrible with every few options to customize the reports. For example, pulling in a salesperson report that factors in returns is not possible. You can't pull a report to see what items need to be picked for all open orders.

    • We stopped using it as it was difficult to set up.
    • Zoho offers a lot of features but the depth of its functionality proves limited as your demands increase.
