Suitability of Zoho One (Single User License) for Multi-State GST Compliance & Cost Analysis

Suitability of Zoho One (Single User License) for Multi-State GST Compliance & Cost Analysis

Hello Zoho Team,

I am an e-commerce business owner selling on platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho, and I'm currently using their fulfillment warehouses.

I have two GSTIN registrations and am planning to register for an additional 2-3 to expand my local storage options. This expansion will require me to transfer stock between various warehouses on a monthly basis.

My primary concern is whether a single-user Zoho One license, specifically using Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory, will be sufficient to manage my business and ensure full GST compliance.

My current business structure includes:

  • 2 GSTINs

  • 5 warehouse locations

I plan to increase this to:

  • 2-3 GSTINs

  • 10+ warehouse locations

To make a well-informed decision, I would also like to understand the pricing structure for both my current and proposed business plans. As a small startup, it is crucial for me to keep costs as low as possible. Could you please provide guidance on the most suitable and cost-effective plan for my needs?

Thank you for your assistance.

(if you are planning to add them in Bulk)  In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only.  The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
