Quick Answer Zoho ERP is not one single product, it is the combination of core Zoho apps (Books, Inventory, CRM, Analytics) configured to run finance, inventory, and operations…
Introduction Running a business today means juggling sales, finance, HR, customer support, and operations, often across different tools that don't talk to each other. Zoho solves this problem…
A list holds consent, a segment is a rule evaluated at send time, and a journey reacts to behaviour. Confusing the first two is how a business ends…
GST-aware quoting, messaging-led selling, field sales on a phone, channel structures and local support — the five criteria that decide the outcome, and a shortlist process that ends…
A partner tier signals certification, delivery volume and an escalation route. It says nothing about industry fit, the team assigned or what happens after go-live — which is…
A note is written once and read by three people for three reasons. What a five-heading CRM note template should contain, and the reporting it quietly makes possible.
Campaign, ad group and keyword arrive on the lead; won deals go back as offline conversions. The second direction is the one that changes how the ad platform…
Zoho does not sell one ERP. It sells an estate — Books, Inventory, CRM, People, Creator and Analytics — and knowing which product owns which number is what…
Analytics originates nothing — it joins what the other products already own. The three joins worth getting right first, and why definitions matter more than charts.
Suggestions in CRM, sentiment in Desk, natural-language questions in Analytics — and the four data checks that decide whether any of it produces something useful or something confidently…
One identity, one admin console, one per-employee licence. The applications are unchanged — what changes is that the constraint on adding one moves from budget to governance.
The line between a personal tool and a production application is dependency, and it gets crossed quietly. Four decisions, a ten-minute register and four guardrails that slow nobody…
One tool promises a scope and a date; the other promises a cadence and a priority. The deciding question is not team size — and the hybrid answer…
Time logged against tasks, classified honestly, invoiced from Books and joined with cost in Analytics — the chain that turns a logged hour into a margin figure you…
Phases the client recognises, dependencies that move the plan when something slips, milestones you can evidence — and the rule for what belongs in a template and what…
Native links, then Zoho Flow, then Deluge functions, then the REST API. Try them in that order — and answer the four questions before building anything.
Build when making the standard module fit would misrepresent what the business does. Configure when it merely needs adjusting — plus the rule that keeps a Creator app…
Team size is the least useful predictor. The number of distinct sales motions — and whether anyone needs permission to send a quote — is what separates the…
Profit and loss, cash flow, ageing receivables, ageing payables and sales by customer — read together, they answer the only two questions leadership asks.
Registration is interest, attendance is commitment, and a question asked during a session is stated intent. What the Zoho event products capture, and which of it belongs in…
A checklist anchored to the joining date, documents with acknowledgement, access provisioned from the HR record — and the reason an exit should remove access on the same…
Customers, items, quotes and payment status move between the two products; pipeline, tax and the ledger do not. A field-by-field look at who owns what across the link.
Capture, policy check, approval, posting. A look at what the Zoho Expense rules engine can decide on its own, and why the card feed changes the whole chase.
Authentication, reputation, engagement and only then content — the four checks an inbox provider runs, and why rewriting the copy is the least effective fix.
No single Zoho product does attribution. Tagged links, a first touch that is never overwritten, a source that survives conversion, and Analytics to join spend to revenue.
Requisitions with owners, stages that record decisions rather than activities, structured panel feedback, and a handover into Zoho People that creates the employee record once.
Fit comes from who the lead is and barely moves; intent comes from what they did and decays. A look at how Zoho CRM scoring rules work, and…
One is installed, voucher-centric and accountant-first; the other is hosted, document-centric and built to be part of a connected estate. An even-handed look at where the two products…
People owns attendance, shifts and leave; Payroll owns structures, deductions and the payslip. One shared employee directory is what turns two products into one monthly process.
Stage, probability, close date and amount are the four fields behind every Zoho CRM forecast — and the difference between a stage named after the seller and one…
GSTIN and place of supply on the masters, the right document type on the transaction, e-invoicing from the same record, return-ready summaries at the end — how GST…
Price books decide what a product may be sold for, approval rules decide who may break that rule, and Blueprint enforces the sequence — the CRM quoting features…
Mail, WorkDrive, Cliq, Writer, Connect and Sign under one identity and one search index — what each part of Zoho Workplace is for, and the four properties that…
One Books organisation per legal entity, shared customer and item masters above them, and Analytics consolidating the group — how Zoho is built for companies that run more…
A 45-minute discovery call with a Zoho architect maps your processes to the right products and gives you an indicative scope.
