Zoho Inventory Community Digest July 2021 - a monthly rundown
Hello all!
I hope you all are doing well. If you've been waiting for details on our application updates, we've got them right here for you, along with some exciting news to mark the end of this month. Read on.
1. Spotlight
In this month's Spotlight, we bring you the 5 Must-Have Inventory Reports for Online Sellers. As consumers wait to return to their pre-pandemic activities, online sales are gaining more traction among small and large merchants alike. It is important to have a high-level overview of your sales and inventory as you scale and increase your online presence. This gets even more important if you are a multichannel seller trying to make data-based decisions while managing several different sales channels.
This video here will help you use reports to map your sales and distribution, forecast sales and purchases, categorize your items, analyze product return cycles, calculate losses due to damaged and unrecoverable items, and more.
