Good and inexpensive alternative for inventory management
Pros
Zoho made it easy to switch from a different system. Setup was not the smoothest but I can't say it was too painful. It does the job and for the price I think it's a good option.
Cons
I would like a few things added to Zoho going forward.
- Being able to see COGS for various inventory adjustments and sales. Currently, we have to integrate with Zoho Books to see those but it would be great to have that option built in.
- Average historical cost per product for all products. Currently, we can only see the average cost of products in stock only.

Zoho Inventory review
My overall experience with Zoho Inventory is great. I have a small business, and with Zoho Inventory, I can use the free version, which is great for my small business. Their free version offers 20 online, 20 Offline orders a month, and 20 shipping labels. Its software is very user-friendly, and they have a 30-day free trial.
Pros
It is very affordable, Includes sale and purchase orders, It uses fifo, extensive shipping
Cons
It has no bill of material, Pick list or Bid ID, no forecast

Love the Concept, reality is that its not ready for ecommerce
Poor. I ran out of room on the cons: lack of business acumen. No ability to convert or auto convert specific sales transactions from various sales channels to final invoice in zoho books. The funny thing in discussing the sales order to invoice issue, "So many people ask for the capability". Crazy idea for an ecommerce co with multiple landing pages, Social media, and various sales channels.
We have attempted to work with Zoho One and Zoho Inventory because I love the concept of having all the various systems on a single platform. You would think the mitigation of risk in todays world of ecommerce might be accomplished.
I think what Zoho has perfected is the proverbial "Jack of all trades and master of none". There are simply countless holes, errors, and omissions that for one reason or another Zoho's Development team have not addressed or can not get to because the list of fixes is too long.
Pros
proposed functionality and inter connectivity with CRM, campaign, books, etc...
Too bad it does not work
I do like the chat to support, although they rarely have answers. When attempting to chat to support tonight for the below issues the system turned it into an email. Hopefully they will get back to us over the next 2-3 days.
Cons
Does not work or function properly.
example 1) ~500 transactions via amazon merchant fulfilled. Inventory was out of sync within 2 days. Orders stopped being pushed from amazon into our system as sales orders and the customer service issues ensued. Zoho had no answer and we turned off the inventory. Most if not all 3rd party consultants we have spoken to advocate back end fixes using Zoho Creator and deluge.
example 2) We add a new zoho one license for a consultant yesterday. a) the new email assigned to the consutlant does not work. b) zoho inventory decides to do a reset asking the consultant and all of our employees to walk thru the start up menu. Upon enabling zoho inventory once again, all of our transactions except those for the past 4 days are accurately in zoho inventory are in the system as sales orders. Upon review of our amazon marketplace zoho inventory integration it was turned off. Upon attempting to enable the amazon marketplace integration the application immediately recognized our credentials. Just missing last 4 days sales orders.
No integration with shipstation, its on their roadmap.
No ability to concurrently hold and run amazon merchant fulfilled and amazon FBA inventory, not supported by zoho inventory. Its either one or another.
Zoho flow integrator is limited and most 3rd party consultants laugh when you ask about using the application to resolve some of the funcationality issues between the various zoho applications.

Better managed inventory with Zoho Inventory
There is a perfect inventory from start to finish and with a more organized workflow thus allowing to have a complete follow-up of each product
Pros
The management that can be obtained with Zoho Inventory for inventories is wonderful because it has allowed me to have exact control from the beginning to the end of each product, it has improved my workflow style to be more organized and to have specific reports on time. From start to finish I can track the items with the precise stock to keep a perfect inventory
Cons
I don't dislike it at all, it has been correct in the operation providing a good service
