We use Zoho Inventory for our eCommerce offshoot and it feeds our retail website and also our eBay Store. There have been plans to also include Amazon as an offering but, to date, this has not been implemented. We initially needed a simple and cheap inventory management program to enable us to maintain good audit trails within the business and to provide a simple method of tracking and retaining customers.
  • It is simple to use.
  • Does all the basics well.
  • Is able to integrate with our CRM.
  • A little too linear, there could be more room for changing processes to fit business needs.
  • Inventory assumes everybody works the same way and needs to be more customizable.
  • Integrations with Shopify could be better.
Zoho Inventory is great if you are just starting out and want to keep things simple. If you are a "Buy box - sell box - ship box" user, it will work fine out of the box and at a relatively low cost. Once things start to get a little more complicated (bundles, variables, upgrades) it struggles and you need to find an expert or add-on to help.
  • Multi Warehousing.
  • Good basic user package.
  • Reordering
  • It has allowed us to track the small inventory we have for online sales.
  • We have been able to raise orders more efficiently.
  • Allowed eComm department to become self sufficient.
Shopify manages our storefront and Zoho Inventory manages the stock we allocate to it. It is by no means seamless and there are occasionally issues with how the two integrate but we have been able to manage these.

eCommerce Sales, through our various channels

A little bit of everything, from sales support right up to scripting. There are always little bits to do on Zoho Inventory. Because it is highly customisable, there are many things that you can do to improve both the user and customer experience.
  • Stock Control
  • Brand Identity
  • Integration with other systems
  • Able to streamline finance procedures
  • With full integration, wider use of eCommerce channels
  • Internal integration with inhouse systems
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.

Needed it to be cheap, very cheap. We were happy to maintain a basic inventory and look to improve as we grew. Zoho (whether by design or fortune) was really useful for this.
I would certainly look at how customisation is managed. It can be as simple as drag and drop but also as completed as programming and scripting. You just don't know which until you need it...

We use it to manage and track our inventory along with serialized stock. It works in tandem with Zoho CRM and Zoho Books. Quotes are converted and the sales orders appear in Zoho Inventory where the warehouse processes the order and ships.

It's possible to pull pick slips but because the system does not have bin locations you don't know where the items are located. If you have a large warehouse this makes it very difficult. Customizing sales order templates, packing slips is difficult. For example if you want to add pick notes to line items you need to be an expert in HTML to design your your template because the pick note will show on invoices also!
  • Tracks which orders have been shipped
  • Tracks which orders have been packed
  • Tracks with orders have been invoiced
  • Works well with Zoho Books
  • 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'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
  • Tracking inventory
  • Tracking inventory serials
  • Being able to easily pick orders and manage which needs picked and shipped
  • Coming from QuickBooks enterprise with inventory add-on it's an improvement in tracking stock because it restricts so much of what you do.
  • Migrating to Inventory was a bit of a nightmare. I'd recommend starting clean or bring as little data as possible.
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 had various warehouses all holding different types of stock, certain items could only be held at certain locations, and keeping a track of the whereabouts of the entire inventory was almost impossible. Lots of items were either lost or misplaced for sometimes weeks at a time, Zoho we hoped would fix the problem and help speed up our order processing
  • Manage multiple sites
  • Stock transfer
  • Integration
  • Reporting
  • Customer support
  • Pointless features
Requires a lot of customisation to get started. Very limited customer support, support appeared to not be that knowledgable with issues that aren't the usual issues most users get. Forms aren't optimised for conversions. Zoho offers a lot of features but the depth of its functionality proves limited as our demands increase.
  • Manage multiple warehouses
  • Better insights into warehouse management
  • Manage sales and purchase orders
  • We stopped using it as it was difficult to set up.
