Creator- The business creator
We are a logistics service provider and are in the industry for 40 years.Being a traditional business house its really difficult to implement Modern Softwares as existing team will not accept modern technologies.Because of this generation gap we are had lot of issues in implemeting zoho on initial stages.
As far as considering problems with the business, just like any business house we did have lot of issues especially with meeting our customer demand on real time basis and providing them with timely data.Also we had too many un used manpower and we sorted it out using zoho creator.
We were able to identify our weaker side and patch it with multiple methods which slowly increased our profit

We were able to identify our weaker side and patch it with multiple methods which slowly increased our profit
- Accountability for each employee work which is very vital for any organization
- Making operations very simple even that a simple lay man would be able to perform detailed work like a pro
- Data tracking in live was made possible
- Using proper Manpower for the work they are apt.
- Visual Customization is something more important as modern day users need fresh layouts
- Apps need more changes wrt to layouts
- Costing to be re worked for MSME sectors as we cannot afford like a Corporates

A Low Code Champ!!
Zoho Creator is used in almost every department in Emirates Logistics India, We have been able to solve and automate manual processes of various departments like HR, IT, Operations, CS to name a few. Zoho Creator has allowed our On Filed employees who doesn't have access to system, they are not able to upload the required details using the Zoho Creator Mobile App. Another problem we solved was for HR, developed the Recruitment module for them to be able to track, trace, and record every recruitment data in single system. Another Application created for Managing Companies Compliances, helps the Taxation and HR Compliance to be sure no compliance is missed, system even provides notification of expiry.
- Simple Workflows for Complex Functionalities, We were able to create Workflows with multiple criteria's for capturing and storing data with very simple code.
- Availability of Mobile App without any additional development, Creator's Mobile Application is as good as Web Version, Just need to customize the view and its done and available to all users. The Offline component of Mobile application helps the team complete the work even if they are not in network and data is synched later successfully.
- Data Analysis, Reporting Dashboards and by default integration with Zoho Analytics allows automatic dashboard creation which our Management Team can use to take necessary decisions.
- In the C5 Version, User Management was easy, but in C6 due to the by default integration of analytics, we at our end are not able to deactivate the users, which can be improved as to add new user, we need to have the control at our end.
- While integrating with third party software's, creator should develop mechanism to use multiple applications using common points
- Though the system is very easy to use and develop, UI customization option should be provided with similar low code facility

Develop a software with low-code skills
We needed to solve an internal problem by creating a new online software. One of the main requirement was to find something that we could create and give maintenance by ourselves, with no-code or low-code skills. Then with Zoho Creator we had the possibility to hire a company to develop the basis of our new software and then we could evaluate inside with our team.
- Low-code skills needed to create complex process.
- Easy to learn.
- Best for simple form design software (that don't need 'beautiful' design).
- A bit tricky for integrations with 3rd party software.
- Layout customizations very limited.
- A bit expensive when you need to give access to many users.

Zoho Creator is must have in your Zoho toolbox
Zoho Creator is a wonderful app and a program we use to manage data heavy components of our business. Creator is a great complement to Zoho CRM, where we manage most of our customers. The ability for Zoho Creator to talk to or syn with the Zoho CRM is what makes this tool so valuable. Part of our business includes entering and storing a lot of data. Once entered we use this data to generate intuitive reports and dashboards to give us insights in to this part of our business.
- The ease of creating data collecting forms. Anything from creating a form to import all your old excel documents to creating a mobile on-site application where you can input data directly into the app. For a company like us this can help to eliminate the pen and paper approach to recording data.
- Reporting features are excellent. Slicing and dicing the data from your forms to create any report is possible. Think of it has filters on steroids. The ability to combine data from different forms is a huge plus.
- Dashboards! Zoho Creator has so much depth to it that it's easy for one to get lost if they are not as familiar with Creator, for example an exuctive or decision making manager. This is where dashboards come in. Admins can build intuitive and smart dashboards that combine all the relevant KPI's that a manager needs to see.
- Zoho Creator has their own scripting language, Deluge, which is the powerful engine behind what makes Zoho Creator so great. Problem is if you have no coding background it can be a bit difficult to learn, and use to it's full potential.
- The new UI is awesome, except for parts of the homepage. I wish there was a bit more room for custimization and organization of all your stored apps.
- The ability to create documents or what they once called record summaries from your stored data. This is our most requested feature for them to add, is an integration with a word processor such as Zoho Writer and the ability to create mail merge like documents within the app.

Zoho Creator is unbelievably powerful. It would be tough to find a database need that it wouldn't handle with ease.
We publish books. About 200 per year. Each book has around 50 separate pieces of data associated with it. Publication date, warehouse due date, printers, print quantities, trim size, editorial team, etc. We use Zoho Creator as our "bible" for all books we own and publish. It is the one-stop source for all authoritative data regarding each title we publish. The entire company uses our custom-built Creator database to maintain ongoing updates of every title, of which we now have thousands.
- Extremely customizable for any need
- Excellent options for reports, both public and private
- Powerful ability to link databases for deeper sets of data
- Very very powerful programming language for custom applications
- Zoho Creator's new version isn't as well documented as older versions. The changes were dramatic so it's hard to find help relevant to Version 5.
- Zoho Creator is so powerful, it is sometimes TOO powerful. It can be intimidating if your needs are very basic.
- The new version of Zoho Creator was meant to be more intuitive, but after using it compared to the previous version 4, we find it's often more difficult to accomplish the same tasks.
- The search feature, while powerful, is also cumbersome. Ideally, it would be simplified if possible.

Course management on Zoho Creator
We use a Course Management app in Zoho Creator to track activity in our English language courses that we give onsite at our customers' place of business or homes. We have all schedules set up and classes can be cancelled and rescheduled on the app. In addition, we collect attendance and lesson plan information for each class. The information that is input creates reports and also creates invoices from teachers for the classes that they have taught.
- Allows us to have an app for our exact needs. We had searched and searched for solutions and even tried some off-the-shelf, ready built apps but none of them were complete. With Zoho Creator we were able to create the app that we needed.
- We have the ability to access our app across all devices.
- We also have the ability to update and add functions to the app as we discover and identify other needs.
- I think that Zoho Creator needs to have better training tools made for the non-developer user. The marketing information makes it sound like you can build an app with no real coding knowledge. From my experience, that is simply not true. There are things that are relatively simple to do, but other things definitely need more advanced coding.
