Zoho Inventory Erfahrungen

Track inventory on the go!

Kommentare: Zoho Inventory is highly recommended, affordable and value for money software. Very useful for Micro, small & Medium Enterprises. Awesome if you use Zoho books.

Vorteile:

Zoho Inventory is a feature loaded tool and following are the gamechanger pros of the tool: 1. Comes with multiple APIs to integrate system 2. Comes with frequent and timely updates 3. GST compliant: HSN and tax rates 4. Easy integration with Zoho Books 5. Easy order and warehouse management 6. Quick and easy dashboarding and pre designed reports

Nachteile:

Zoho Inventory is a fabulous software to manage inventory. Inventory In and Out Manual changes can be more user friendly.

Zoho Review

Kommentare: Keeping track of sales on eBay, our website, and other platforms where we sell such as Google Shopping can be confusing but Zoho makes it very easy to keep track of all three on one database without the confusion.

Vorteile:

Zoho is really easy to use and affordable, especially for a small business. I like that it creates your own invoices that you can send to customers. I like that you can keep track of multiple warehouses on one page. These are small features that make Zoho really great.

Nachteile:

The software is easy to use but still has some features that I would love to see changed. We run a small eBay business and there is often difficulty in merging products. I cannot go back and fix this later on. Sometimes this will make the inventory numbers look different than what they are. This is also part of a human error, but I wish there was a feature on Zoho that would help me reconcile inventory when I make a mistake with merging products.

Shopify users, beware of Zoho!

Kommentare: Impossible to contact the dev team, even by email, which would have saved me two years of lost development time on my end. There is not even an effective communication channel between Customer Support and their own development team. It's one of those "I.T. doesn't talk to inferior beings" outfits. You know the type.
Low integrity: If you make a mistake and misguide a paying customer, accept responsibility and issue a refund. It's the very least they could have done.

Vorteile:

On paper, Zoho had all the flexibility and scalability we were looking for, but it turns out that it is incompatible with a Shopify store that has more than a few months of data. It won't import the data. This is not a misunderstanding and there is no workaround. Details below.

Nachteile:

We bought it to be our CRM and Inventory Management System for our Shopify office furniture store. On installation, it would only import the last two months of transactions from Shopify. That's a disaster. For all of our regular customers, they'd have two accounts and we'd have to look in both places to find a past order, not to mention re-creating all of their account data by hand in the new system if they hadn't purchased in the last two months, and we'd have no idea what their lifetime value was. Zoho support was sure I had done something wrong. It took weeks for them to decide that Shopify was the problem. They told me Shopify was blocking the export of the data. So I called Shopify. They told me (in an hour) that they have an automatic block to prevent hacking but all Zoho had to do was to call them and they'd unblock them! Over a period of weeks, I tried to get to the right department to tell the install team or dev team about this, and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. They kept insisting it was a Shopify problem. A support rep got back to me a few months later and said the limitation had actually been built into Zoho and it would be fixed in the next version update. So, foolishly, I kept paying. I kept checking in and finally, two years later, they told they have no plans to fix this problem, and no, I couldn't have a refund even though I was waiting for them to fix what they told me they would fix, and had never used the product.

Review

Kommentare: I would say it's been a great experience overall.

Vorteile:

Pretty much a simple, great system all around.

Honestly there's a learning curve, but nothing too rough.

Not implementing changes fast enough to make program even better or more functional!

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Inventory: Value and not being tracked like the QuickBooks does.

Almost there

Kommentare: Helped us with our inventory, quotes and sales orders. Ultimately switched to another product with more control over selling units and templates.

Vorteile:

Ease of use, online access, cost. Simple to implement. Informative reports.

Nachteile:

To sell as different units had to create different item code and bundle/unbundle. Would like more control over templates - the built in ones take up too many pages when numerous items. To search as typing have to know how an item is named.

Build ecommerce with google merchant store integration

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Inventory: Market Place Facility and Google Merchant Centre

Great system without a crazy budget

Vorteile:

For the price, you get an amazing amount of tools for managing inventory. It has a great integration with Amazon and makes everything sync very easily.

Nachteile:

You can't segment customers based on purchase items.

Wholesale Distributor Using Zoho Inventory

Vorteile:

Having an all in one platform is easy for us to navigate. We previously used multiple platforms and nothing synced. We now have perfect inventory management and don't risk losing stock or overselling items.

Nachteile:

I would like more payment processor options that could be integrated with the invoice feature. Stripe suspended our account because of a surge of transactions and refunded half of the orders. Stripe is also holding 5 figures of funds that it did not refund. We broke none of its TOS. Adding better processors would be very nice. It would also be extremely helpful to have bulk image upload supported in the inventory import feature. We deal with thousands of items in our inventory and cannot manually add pictures for each one.

Great Product, Great Price, and easy to set-up and use

Vorteile:

the inventory control is easy to setup and manage

Nachteile:

would like to see a few different features on entering product in system but work well the way it is.

Zoho Inventory

Kommentare: Solving all my issues in keeping a check on y stocks,in my different locations...

Cloud Based, Accurate Inventory Accounting,seamlessly works with zoho books.

Nachteile:

That i had to pay for Zoho Inventory seperately inspite purchasing zoho books,also its a lil long to get it to check all the shipment fulfilment process,should be a lil more customized ,like a click away

Zoho Inventory - good and can improve

Vorteile:

Ease of use and easy integration with Zoho commerce

Nachteile:

There is always an issue with inventory count. Whenever an item is updated in the sales order after closing, it doesn’t reflect correctly

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Inventory: Initially we got this as an independent module which came along with books then later all these were made into separate modules

Fair, but there’s better.

Kommentare: Not too great. I’d say ‘okay’ at best. The amount of emails we had to send to their customer support team to receive a response data later, often which didn’t answer questions or were irrelevant made this software a bad choice for us.

Vorteile:

The software itself was great! Probably one of the best! The amount you can do with it is endless and forever growing.

Nachteile:

The customer service team is terrible. And the connection plugin from your store to the Zoho online system is very temperamental. Not exactly what you want when running a busy business.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Inventory: We chose Zoho due to the amount of features which it offered which would accommodate for most if not all our business needs.

It NEVER worked!

Kommentare: Horrendous

Vorteile:

I only considered Zoho Inventory because of the Inventory integration with multiple Shopify stores but It never worked on more than 1 store.

Nachteile:

Besides having paid $250 for a product that never worked, the customer service is very slow. They say they will contact their developers and have the issue fix overnight, they ask for screenshots of everything but NEVER SOLVE ANYTHING.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Zoho Books

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Inventory: I wanted to give it a try, but If Zoho Inventory does not work, I can't imagine how bad the other products are.

Just the kind of business apps that any small-medium biz would need

Kommentare: Our startup has small teams,some of who work in different locations. We have been comfortably managing our core ops on Zoho Books & Inventory very well. Our management team also has access to data at all times. The mobile app is an excellent add-on that comes for free. It supports bar code scanning, which is a blessing if you need to handle several SKUs and process large orders. I had initially tried Quick Books paired with a third-party inventory module, but I got tired of it quickly and had to drop it. Zoho wins over competitors hands down !

Vorteile:

It handles most day to day business processes of any product/service business with ease. The UI is very clean and easy to use. It is very unlikely that you would come across software bugs

Nachteile:

For its scope and target segment, I have to really try hard to say something negative about Zoho Inventory.

Stock Control how it should be

Kommentare: Stock consistency between what is sold in store and what is sold online has been excellent and the general operation is both efficient and easy.

Vorteile:

We love the integration and module aspects. The modules all fit together allowing full integration. With this comes the ease of stock control and order management both online and offline. No complicated app integrations or stock drift. it just works.

Nachteile:

Search facility has an issue you can not always locate an item just by keyword and have to enter the full name. With thousands of products this is not always possible.

Good for Trading, should improvise for manufacturing companies

Kommentare: I've found a way around to add BOM using composite item feature but Zoho definitely should consider including Bill of materials option in the inventory. it is literally impossible for a manufacturing company to use this software without BOM. otherwise it's really good, nicely integrated with Zoho books

Vorteile:

I loved the Composite item feature but multiple bundling option could be more helpful and less time consuming.

Nachteile:

Lack of Bill of materials. As a manufacturing and trading company it becomes extremely difficult to increase stock without BOM.

Brilliant app for a small business owner

Kommentare: Great app to manage inventory reports on daily basis. I never had any problem with accessing the app. It helps me manage my business well and smooth.

Vorteile:

Very intuitive app and well designed. This is the best inventory management app so far. Very practical features I use everyday that helps me manage small warehouse. It's very easy to create invoices and send them to customers. It helps me manage inventory and track sales. Pricing plans are affordable however free plan is also available.

Nachteile:

Merging products with eBay platform could be better. Updating product images takes time. Too many updates.

Simple,Easy integrate with the Books

Vorteile:

simple to create product integrate with the Books

Nachteile:

Product filter really need to upgrade, we need to download product as make a custom filter in Excel

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: QuickBooks Enterprise und Wave

Zuvor genutzte Software: Microsoft Excel

Great App

Vorteile:

Easy to use, very versatile, it has become seamlessly essential to our business

Nachteile:

Customer service is a bit slow and clunky

Love this software! Really useful.

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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!

Zoho is very easy on eyes

Kommentare: We would like to replace our aging, Java-based accounting software with this ERP, and hoping to integrate other products such as Books and Help Desk as well as Single Sign-on and writing our own apps as extensions to the Inventory.

Vorteile:

It is so good to look at. I reviewed some of the competitors (Unleashed, DEAR and Cin7) and Zoho products provide the best user interface. It's very simple and familiar, menus have just one or two levels, it works very well on a Mac in Safari (which isn't something you could tell about the others). They also have good-looking and working iOS apps with barcode scanning - again, the others are missing out there. As for the integrations, it looks like they have quite extensive API and Single Sign on, but I have to expose that area more.

Nachteile:

As they have their own Books, there's no direct integration with either XERO or Intuit. But we're willing to give Books a go, especially if it really is UK ready.

Couldn't live without it

Vorteile:

Zoho Inventory is by far the best software out on the market to handle inventory tracking as well as creating sales orders and invoices. It's super customizeable and very professional-looking.

Nachteile:

Inventory tracking was slightly hard to set up, since I didn't understand exactly how Zoho handled it. But after talking with customer service, we figured it out and it works great now.

Use of Zoho Inventory system in Russia

Kommentare: With Zoho Inventory I am running a stock control, as well as creating orders, invoices and packages.

Vorteile:

Easy to use and much fuctionallity software. I was looking for this kind of software for my small stock management. Highly recommend to use for improving business efficiency, and most importantly to control your business at a fingertip (App is working perfectly). Multiuser system helps to accommodate different activities and job specifications to use employee, thus creating a functional vertical integration value chain. All actions are stored and as an Admin I can observe actions of my empoyees. More control less arguments and distraction for business efficiency.

Nachteile:

Some of my employees are native in Russian language, and unfortunately Zoho Inventory is not running on Russian language, that is the only thing I would like to add. Everything else working perfectly.

Warehouse management

Kommentare: Zoho One, including inventory has sorted our business processes and made our work flows easy to follow and almost fool proof

Vorteile:

Easy to use Links into many other apps within zoho Cost effective

Nachteile:

many apps are not necessary Managing currencies of products from suppliers difficult adding images is time consuming
