Zoho Inventory Reviews

Pros

After trying a range of inventory tools, this software has become one I genuinely enjoy using and recommending to my clients. Once I got familiar with how it works, I was able to show clients how to grow their businesses while keeping the effort on their side to a minimum. Zoho has been a big part of making that possible. The plans they offer also help smaller businesses compete at a much larger level.

Cons

At this point, the only drawback is having to enter all of my items myself and beyond that I really do not have any complaints.

Pros

The platform is very simple to use, feels user friendly and comes at a really good price.

Cons

I still need more time using it so I can't really say much about any downsides yet.

Pros

Usability is excellent and it connects well with my online platforms.

Cons

Even though the setup is designed to be simple enough, it still takes some time to get everything running efficiently... like anything else :)

Pros

The interface feels simple and accessible and it includes the essential tools a startup business needs to get going.

Cons

It would be even better with more dashboard views or additional features that let you track more metrics.

Pros

Being free for new startups like ours is a huge plus and it saves me from having to build a separate inventory app myself.

Cons

I'm just about to start using it so I'll come back later with a more detailed review.

Pros

this software works especially well for a trading business. One of its biggest advantages is how simple it is to use-you do not need to be an accountant or an expert inventory manager to understand how the system works. It updates in real time so there is no waiting for a department or server to process anything before the information appears. If you make prior-period adjustments to cost or quantity, the costing and related accounts are updated automatically. Another strong point is that Zoho offers customer support 24/7. For large volumes of data, you do not have to enter everything manually one by one; you can format the data properly and upload it in bulk. The composite items feature acts like a bill of materials and also helps with variance calculations. If you need to include extra material beyond what is set in the standard formula, that can be done as well. The warehouse feature is useful for tracking stock at each warehouse and when invoicing a customer, you can choose the exact warehouse. It is also very well integrated with Zoho Books and taxes can be managed quite conveniently through the Inventory module.

Cons

There are still some limitations. For larger organizations with multiple warehouse levels and approval workflows before issuing or receiving materials, this software does not seem to support that kind of setup. You also cannot print delivery notes directly from this software and have to switch to Zoho Books for that. If you need to receive products against multiple purchase orders at the same time, that is not possible-you have to process one purchase order at a time. It also lets you define purchase and sales prices for a product but not based on a specific supplier or customer.

Pros

It's very user friendly and offers good value for the money.

Cons

A few features do not support manufacturing needs.

Pros

It really comes down to speed and data integration and the fact that we can use it from anywhere in the world, even while traveling. It's amazing.

Cons

The data backup process isn't very user friendly. At the very least, backups should happen on a daily basis.

Pros

There are plenty of tutorials available which makes learning it much simpler. The mobile app is a big plus and the application feels very fast and smooth while using it.

Cons

At this stage, we haven't run into any issues since we've only recently started exploring the features.

Pros

Dashboard looks good and customer service responds quickly whenever I need help.

Cons

Quite a few features aren't available for my organization and there are times when customization is difficult to work through.

Pros

For this price range, the feature set is one of the best available and the interface is very user friendly. It also connects well with other platforms and since Zoho has multiple in-house products, the software becomes much more accessible and usable across different platforms.

Cons

Pricing is still a major factor and it can limit the product mostly to SMEs.

Pros

Getting started with this software didn't require much reading or setup on my side. The connection with Shopify works well and up to now I haven't run into any problems.

Cons

The automatic tracking for Mexican shipping carriers still needs to be improved.

Pros

The inventory feature has been one of the best parts for me especially because of all the options and detailed information it includes. It feels very user friendly and even someone with limited technical knowledge can use it without much trouble.

Cons

It would be better if it offered more invoice templates.

Pros

The software feels very user friendly and is really simple to use.

Cons

When I signed up, I ran into a few issues because there was no training provided by the Zoho team. It would be better if Zoho offered training for new users.

Pros

Being cloud-based makes it really convenient to get work done while I'm out and about and the app support helps a lot.

Cons

I'm very satisfied with the free version right now. I'd consider upgrading if the pricing becomes more favorable.

Pros

The form customization is really convenient and gives a lot of flexibility.

Cons

One limitation is that SKU can't be turned off, even though many small inventory businesses only start using SKUs later as they grow.

Pros

Right from the start, the layout feels clean and very easy to understand. I'd definitely recommend it.

Cons

Customization is fairly limited and quite a few important features are still missing.

Pros

Compared with other programs, this one feels much more accessible to work with.

Cons

Bulk uploading items can be difficult at times especially when dealing with inventory-tracked items.

Pros

The cloud setup runs well and the overall feel is professional. It's also simple to work with day to day.

Cons

It's still missing quite a few features especially on the inventory and billing side so there's a lot that still needs improvement.

Pros

This inventory system lets you organize your merchandise with sub-categories which makes everything much more structured.

Cons

You can track your items and clearly see where they are going.
