Zoho Inventory Community Digest September 2020 - a monthly rundown





Hello all!

1. Ask The Experts series:  

The recent episodes of our Ask The Experts series have been mostly focused on two areas: tools for internal collaboration, and improving customer experiences through digital payments and online transactions. You can read more about these sessions and the discussions from the links below. If you find something that you would like to discuss in more detail, feel free to post your questions and ideas under the relevant topics and we can take up the discussion from there.
