Zoho Inventory, set up by specialists
Zoho Inventory is Zoho's inventory and order management software. It tracks stock across warehouses, takes orders from your online stores, marketplaces and sales team, and handles purchasing, picking, packing and shipping, with your accounting kept in step through Zoho Books.
It suits businesses that sell physical products in more than one place. We are Zoho partners who set it up, connect it to the rest of your systems and automate the repetitive parts.
One order, start to finish
- 01 · Buy
Restock from your vendor.
Raise a purchase order. When the goods arrive, receive them and the stock goes up. The vendor's bill is recorded in the same place.
- 02 · Store
Know exactly where it sits.
Put stock away by warehouse and, from the Premium plan, by bin. Track serial numbers or batches when your products need them.
- 03 · Sell
An order comes in.
From Shopify, Amazon, your Zoho Commerce store or a sales rep in Zoho CRM. The units are committed so nobody sells them twice.
- 04 · Pick and pack
Pull it off the shelf.
Print a picklist, scan barcodes, pack the box and create the package with its packing slip.
- 05 · Ship
Out the door, with tracking.
Buy the label through carriers like UPS or through Easyship. The shipment and its tracking number go back on the order.
- 06 · Invoice
The books keep up.
The invoice goes out, the payment is recorded, and your accounts in Zoho Books stay current without retyping.
- 07 · Reorder
It tells you before you run out.
When an item falls to its reorder point, Zoho Inventory warns you, and the next purchase order is one click away. We can automate that click.

Why a Zoho Inventory specialist sets it up
Starting Zoho Inventory takes an afternoon. The decisions made that afternoon are the ones that cost you months later.
How items are built
Item groups for variants, composite items for kits, units of measure, SKUs and barcodes. Changing these after you have stock history is painful.
Opening stock and valuation
What you bring over, at what cost, and how cost is calculated. How the weighted average method works.
Warehouses, bins, serials
How many locations, whether you need bins, and which products need serial or batch tracking for recalls and warranties.
Who owns the stock count
When Shopify, Amazon and a sales rep sell the same last unit, one system has to win. We decide that before it happens.
Where the accounting lives
Zoho Books, QuickBooks or Xero, sales tax, and whether two companies share one stock. Sharing stock across two organizations.
What runs itself
Reorder alerts, approvals and custom functions written in Deluge, plus Zoho Flow for the systems Zoho does not connect to out of the box.
What we set up
- Items, opening stock, contacts and price lists moved in cleanly
- Warehouses, bins, serial and batch tracking where they pay off

Questions about Zoho Inventory
What is Zoho Inventory?
Zoho Inventory is Zoho's cloud inventory and order management software. It tracks stock across warehouses and bins, takes orders from online stores, marketplaces and sales teams, and handles purchase orders, picking, packing, shipping and invoicing, with accounting kept in step through Zoho Books.
How much does Zoho Inventory cost?
There is a free plan for 50 orders a month. Paid plans are priced per organization, in US list prices: Standard $29 a month billed yearly or $39 monthly, Premium $79 or $99, Plus $129 or $159, and Enterprise $249 or $299. Extra users and order blocks are $7.50 a month each.
Is Zoho Inventory free?
Yes, for very small operations. The free plan allows 50 orders a month, one user and one location, with composite items, dropshipping and backorders. Every paid plan can also be tried free for 14 days.
What is the difference between Zoho Inventory and Zoho Books?
Zoho Books is accounting with basic item tracking. Zoho Inventory adds what physical products need: several warehouses and bins, sales and purchase order fulfillment, packages and shipments, serial and batch tracking, and selling channels. The two share items and contacts, so many businesses use both.
Does Zoho Inventory integrate with Zoho CRM?
Yes. Sales reps can see stock and create sales orders from Zoho CRM, and contacts and items stay in sync. Zoho Inventory is a separate app from Zoho CRM, connected through this integration.
Does Zoho Inventory work with Shopify and Amazon?
Yes. It connects to Shopify, Amazon and Etsy, as well as Zoho Commerce, so orders come in and stock levels go out to every channel from one count. Other platforms such as Magento connect through Zoho Flow or the API.
Can Zoho Inventory handle manufacturing?
For simple assembly, yes: composite items build a finished product from its components. For production planning, work orders or routing, we usually extend it with a Zoho Creator app that reads and updates Zoho Inventory.
Is Zoho Inventory available in Mexico?
Yes. Zoho sells a Mexican edition priced in pesos, and its plans include CFDI stamps (timbres) every month for electronic invoicing.
Do I need a Zoho Inventory consultant to set it up?
Not for a single store with a few products. A specialist pays off when you have several channels or warehouses, variants and kits, serial or batch tracking, outside accounting, or processes that should run themselves.
