How is Your eCommerce Experience w/Zoho Inventory?
First off, I'm SUPER grateful for the advent of Zoho Inventory and now the Zoho Commerce Suite. Overall, Inventory is a great product, especially for customers without an eCommerce presence. For eCommerce companies (especially those shipping more than ~10 packages/day), however, there are certain drawbacks that keep my clients from moving over to Zoho Inventory: Cons: 1. Invoice + Package Creation from Shopify/Other eCommerce Integrations: Zoho Inventory makes the somewhat perplexing decision toDear Zoho CEO: Business Growth is about how you prioritise!
All of us in business know that when you get your priorities right, your business grows. Zoho CRM and Zoho Books are excellent products, but sadly, Zoho Inventory continues to lag behind. Just this morning, I received yet another one-sided email aboutPO receive quantities
At last, Zoho has finally got around to allowing us to receive a larger qty than recorded in the PO :-) Saves us all from editing the PO's before receiving larger quantities ( usual for us ) ! It's still in "beta" but available upon request, I've testedCreating Restaurant Inventory Management on Zoho
Hi, We run a small cloud kitchen and are interested to use Zoho for Inventory and Composite Item tracking for our food served and supplied procured to make food items. Our model is basically like subway where the customer can choose breads, veggies,Usar o Inventory ou módulo customizado no CRM para Gestão de Estoque ?
Minha maior dor hoje em usar o zoho é a gestão do meu estoque. Sou uma empresa de varejo e essa gestão é fundamental pra mim. Obviamente preciso que esse estoque seja visível no CRM, Inicialmente fiz através de módulos personalizados no próprio Zoho CRM,How to Streamline Pick & Ship
Is there a way to streamline the built-in pick and ship process? I guess mostly on the ship side. Our current process allows us to choose shipping super fast. It's an EasyPost plugin for WooCommerce. You have to populate the boxes / weights / shippingUpload Zoho Inventory Item Image by API
itemID = item.get("item_id"); organizationID = organization.get("organization_id"); resvp = zoho.inventory.getRecordsByID("items",organizationID,itemID,"zoho_inventory_conn"); info resvp; image_file = invokeurl [ url: "https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/03/13/59/81/360_F_313598127_M2n9aSAYVsfYuSSVytPuYpLAwSEp5lxH.jpg"Prepayment of a sales order
How does everyone handle this common (at least it is common for us!) situation? We require all our orders to be fully prepaid before shipment since we manufacture made to order, custom products. Since ZOHO does not allow a sales order to be prepaid, we are forced to create an invoice at the time an order is placed to allow the customer to pay it. Our sales category is therefore skewed, since the sale was actually booked at the time an order was placed, rather then at the time it is shipped, whichBest website platform to sync to Zoho Inventory
Anyone like to suggest the best website platform for syncing to Zoho Inventory? We DO NOT want to sync stock, only orders. Shopify - not an option as we have more than one website and Shopify requires 2 accounts and Zoho will not sync with 2 different accounts. Magento and WooCommerce both sync via Kloudconnectors - does anyone have any experience with this? I have trialled it and there are flaws - eg purchase order numbers are not populated.

Hi Zoho and Everyone, I am evaluating whether Zoho Inventory will work for my small business. I grow and harvest herbs and spices but also get from wholesalers. I use all these items to make herbal teas, but also sell them as individual items on my Shopify store and Etsy. I discovered the composite item bundling and am wondering if I could get some assistance since there is no bill of materials: Our herbal company's best selling tea is a sleepytime tea.

Hello, Upon trying to perform updates in the system using the import feature, it seems that there's a definite need for the system to have a unique "system ID" for every item and item group that the system can key off of. (It seems like Item IDs are not used for this purpose, but perhaps might be something more like an internal date code?) Currently, since the system keys off of the SKU and/or item name (the rules for which are still a little murky for me) there's no way, insofar as I can tell,Workflow rule for packages/shipments - In app notifications/emails
