Pros: I love that Zoho is free to use and play around with - it allows you to use the software and see if it's a right fit for you. It makes inventory tracking super easy.
Cons: Zoho has a great support team that actually cares about the direction of it's software, and is always implementing new features and uses based on their own user's feedback.
In my job it is very important to have the distribution of LPG organized to build the distribution and storage routes, getting the amount of gas needed for other companies, homes and small businesses. I used to manually organize the inventory, consuming large amounts of time and effort. Now I save all this time thanks to Zoho Inventory which is a software dedicated to the organization and management of all my inventory, allowing me to create a very efficient system of orders and deliveries of gas to all customers. Thanks to the management of my warehouses I can make quick deliveries of LPG gas, just as I can maintain a strict order of each of the types of gases and the amount requested by our customers. It is a software that has allowed me to manage my inventory very efficiently and for this reason my work has become much more productive.
A software that has given me everything in terms of organizing my inventory. I could say that I have a total management of my inventory and the gas that is distributed to each one of our clients, in addition I have a work team that has allowed this to become a reality. All the management where I work is very comfortable with the use of this software and there is nothing counterproductive or negative to highlight about Zoho Inventory.
Every large company requires a software or a work team that allows to organize all the inventory of products and items that are for sale or that have to be distributed, in my case I have the responsibility of organizing distribution of gas hydrocarbons. Due to the strategic importance of my job functions, it is very important to have a software as good as Zoho Invetory, which was designed for high work demands. For this reason I recommend this software to those companies that need to organize large quantities of inventory.
The management of my LPG inventory, which consists of the organization, accounting and distribution of this product to customers is now much more efficient, effective and consistent, we did not fail either in the amounts accumulated, or in the distribution time, and it is for this reason that we have been able to evaluate in our work meetings that this software has increased our levels of efficiency to levels that we had never lived before.
Pros: Zoho inventory is linked to Zoho books hence you entries are updated automatically in the books of accounts
Cons: Seems like its still work in progress as some features are being added periodically
Overall: It has helped us to reduce manual entries from excel to books
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.
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

Hello Dominic,
Thank you for reviewing Zoho Inventory.
We launched Zoho Inventory Android app today. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoho.inventory
Why don't you give this a try and let us know your feedback? We would love to hear from you again.
Thanks,
Zoho Inventory team
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.
Overall: If my Marketing Director is happy, I am happy. He can track my requests down to the penny!
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.
Overall: 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.
What are the best aspects of this product?
The apps are made modular to allow us to subscribe to apps that we feel that we're in need of most. The essential aspect here is that modular apps require simple integration between apps while having the ability to integrate external apps. The inventory apps has a ton of awesome functionalities.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
It seems the inventory app is a bit generic. So, if you happen to be a certain industry, it may not function exactly as planned. Its reporting functionality may be its biggest weakness. It's no customer- nor product-oriented. You'll have to resort to purchasing their reporting app to be able to customize things.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
The inventory app enabled us to branch out to invoicing and properly organze inventory. Not a lot of apps these days can accomplish such things. We're making use of it for inventory tracking, POs, and invoice issuing. We get to accomplish this using a single integrated app.
Are you a current user of this product?
Yes
I love this module of Zoho. I have used the paid and free versions. Both are great. For the free version, it is very well worth it. The paid version is very inexpensive and very great quality for the price! Highly suggested for inventory. It is great because you can integrate other modules as well for more efficiency.
There is honestly not much if anything that I dislike about Zoho. I think they are easy to use with perfect features. One thing that was a disappointment was you cannot use your own templates but that is not a huge deal to me because you can just customize it.
Use them, especially if you are just starting or have a smaller business. THey are great!
We are solving inefficiency from Excel because we are expanding and need everything streamlined. Zoho has helped us become more organized and we are tracking things better.
What are the best aspects of this product?
What I like most about Zoho Inventory is its simplicity. It provides simple and understandable interface and highly functional options. It provides great integrations with other Zoho products and with Shopify. All these integrations helps us to better run reports and to keep track of sales data.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
I need shipping invoice module for international shipping and it would be great if they could include outside service providers.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
It works perfectly for web-store and warehouse. It helps us to convert orders to sales confiramtions, process payments, invoices and packing lists. It helps us to save lots of time thanks to cross transfer of data.
Are you a current user of this product?
Yes
