### "Easy to use Inventory tool for small business"

September 10, 2026

5.0

Overall, Zoho Inventory is an invaluable tool for my company. It helps to keep our inventory in order, ensuring we don't run out.

Pros

Zoho's inventory was simple to set up. I easily imported my existing inventory items from QuickBooks in minutes. Once that was done, I could enter my new orders easily.

Cons

When adding pictures, if one needs to be rotated, I would need to edit it locally to correct the image, then re-upload it. This seems clunky given the technology available today.

Reason for choosing Zoho Inventory

The features far outweighed what the alternatives offered.

### "It's a good bit of kit but very technical compared to other options"

May 13, 2026

4.0

I really like the software but there's a lot of room for improvement, I've stopped using it as I've found a better alternative that works out of the box but I do like how well Zoho integrates into other products.

Pros

It keeps everything in a neat format, easy to reference and search, easy to manage stock, costs, etc

Cons

I couldn't figure out how to automate stock management so we had to spend a lot of time doing admin to update stock levels.

### "Zoho - the way to go!"

August 19, 2026

3.0

I started out with the free trial after using it for a short period of time, I knew this would be beneficial for me after reviewing other platforms. This has helped me manage my business effectively.

Pros

Zoho Inventory really helps manage sales and purchase orders while providing a product tracking to help keep my inventory stocked and up to date.

Cons

Difficulty customizing aspects of reports and workflow for my specific needs. Mobile features are limited from desktop features.

### "Good for smaller scale inventories."

July 31, 2026

5.0

It is an ideal application for our small team and has paid off. It's not ideal, especially when it comes to some bugs and irrelevant features for HR, but it has made inventory management easier for us. Security features are a good thing for me to feel good about and I think that it's great value for the price. Nothing is perfect, but it works for us.

Pros

As a small HR-led business, Zoho Inventory has proved to be a reliable tool for tracking the office supplies and equipment, particularly for running a business efficiently. The reporting feature is very extensive and customisable enough to identify trends and it also seamlessly connects to other ZOHO applications we have already implemented. The control it gives for order processing is also appreciated. It has helped us not to order too much; it has decreased our wastage in general.

Cons

The learning curve was a bit more than I thought, particularly as inventory isn't the main part of our business. I had to play around a bit to get it set up the way that we wanted. There are times when bulk uploads can have some glitches, and sometimes the shipping module appears to be more geared for physical goods businesses, which requires us to bypass certain features that aren't necessary to our business.

### "Effective software for inventory management."

November 27, 2025

4.0

Zoho inventory is a great software. It has given us a centralised view of our inventories and enabled us to maintain optimum stock levels. The software is easy to use and has quality customer support services.

Pros

The product is very effective for inventory management and order tracking. Software ease of use and adaptability. Integration of the software with other systems such as Shopify, Zoho Books and Zoho CRM is seamless.

Cons

The software is very intact. We have not experienced notable flaws during deployment and implementation.

### "Great tool as a inventory tracker."

April 11, 2025

5.0

It has simplified my work at Leader Sat Africa by automating the update of inventory, consequently saving me hours of trying to reconcile manually on a monthly basis.

Pros

I like the tight integration of Zoho Inventory with the accounting software I use, allowing me to keep my stock and financial records synced up.

Cons

I think the reporting features are a little limited needing to customize reports for different needs requires a little more effort than I’d like.

### "User-Friendly Inventory Platform and Growing Businesses"

August 4, 2026

4.0

Looking at this software overall, it has proven to be very positive. The reason for this is that its interface is user-friendly and it works very easily, which allows you to carry out tasks like inventory management with great ease. I would recommend that if you are looking for a platform for inventory management, this is a good one.

Pros

Zoho Inventory is a very special tool that gives inventory management a clean and simple form, thanks to its extremely easy and user-friendly interface. It offers excellent integration with other Zoho apps like Zoho CRM and Zoho Books, along with real-time stock tracking and multi-channel sales management. Because of its affordable pricing, both small and large companies can easily afford it, making it a special choice for users looking to improve their business.

Cons

What I didn’t like about this software is that some of its features need to be more advanced in today’s times. Because once the features become advanced, the problems users face while tracking serial numbers will also be resolved, and the issues that arise when connecting it with other companies’ systems will also be solved. In my view, it is otherwise beneficial for both small and large businesses, but for companies that are quite large, this is not a complete tool.

### "Reliable and cost effective"

February 5, 2026

4.0

I'm someone who values customizable, simple software, and Zoho feels a bit too data-heavy. It has a very digital, clinical interface and lacks the creative feel of some newer, design-focused inventory apps, but it makes up for it in raw reliability.

Pros

Zoho Inventory is cost effective, reliable, and if you're already using Zoho Books, they integrate perfectly.

Cons

Zoho Inventory has monthly order limits, and it's not an easy process to integrate accounting software other than Zoho Books.

### "Almost perfect app"

September 21, 2026

5.0

This has been a very positive experience with Zoho i'm easily able to keep track of everything and reorder quickly

Pros

It's very easy to set up. I was able to get all my inventory logged. So I can keep track of what we have in stock and order more when we need it

Cons

I wish there was a way to share with my other co-workers. But unfortunately , I don't believe they would keep inventory

### "Easy to use inventory management software for growing business"

June 11, 2026

3.0

Its a reliable inventory management solution that helps keep track of stock levels, orders, and shipments efficiently. I liked that it’s relatively easy to learn and doesn’t require a lot of technical knowledge to get started. While it may not have every advanced feature that larger businesses need, it does a great job for small to mid-sized companies looking for an affordable inventory management system

Pros

It makes it easy to track inventory, orders, and shipments from a single platform. The interface is fairly straightforward and it integrates well with other Zoho products, which makes managing business operations much easier. I also liked the automation features for order processing and stock updates since they help reduce manual work. For small and growing businesses it offers a lot of functionality without being overly complicated

Cons

Some advanced inventory and reporting features can feel limited compared to larger enterprise solutions. Customization options are available, but they can be a little confusing to set up at first.I also noticed that certain integrations and features are only available on higher tier plans, which can be frustrating as your business grows

### "Zoho Review"

November 1, 2020

5.0

Keeping track of sales on eBay, our website, and other platforms where we sell such as Google Shopping can be confusing but Zoho makes it very easy to keep track of all three on one database without the confusion.

Pros

Zoho is really easy to use and affordable, especially for a small business. I like that it creates your own invoices that you can send to customers. I like that you can keep track of multiple warehouses on one page. These are small features that make Zoho really great.

Cons

The software is easy to use but still has some features that I would love to see changed. We run a small eBay business and there is often difficulty in merging products. I cannot go back and fix this later on. Sometimes this will make the inventory numbers look different than what they are. This is also part of a human error, but I wish there was a feature on Zoho that would help me reconcile inventory when I make a mistake with merging products.

Reason for choosing Zoho Inventory

We chose Zoho because it was affordable, had all of the features we wanted, and was easy to use.

### "My inventory management toolset."

December 26, 2024

5.0

Zoho Inventory has really made all of our inventory management more efficient, and our order fulfillment process as well as it helped us reduce on manual errors. Now we can accurately monitor our stock, manage our supply chain, and concentrate on expanding our business.

Pros

Zoho Inventory, who tamed our messy stockroom. Real-time inventory tracking that lets me automate stock levels across channels and warehouses. The automated reordering feature allows us never to run out of our popular-selling products, and the detailed reporting gives us valuable insights into our sales trends and inventory performance.

Cons

Although many Zoho apps integrate with Zoho Inventory, integration with some third-party e-commerce platforms and shipping providers can be improved.

### "A web version of MASS 500, with tons of features. "

July 22, 2024

5.0

Has been exceptional. Customer service is great, and helpful.

Pros

If you have ever used Mass 500 or similar systems, this will be a breeze to use. I do find that for my use the customization is a bit difficult, but for the most part, its able to do everything I need to run business day to day. Has multi user control, has new history tracking, last purchase price, inventory inquiry, and even has support for business in SQFT, LFT. I am happy that i got to find this before i went other routes. The cost was also much lower than any other system I had tested.

Cons

Being a web based CRM, the customization is a bit less than I would have liked. Especially how the documents look, or ease of finding profit margin by the invoice, or item level, but i hope someone at ZOHO is looking into this.

### "Shopify users, beware of Zoho!"

January 23, 2021

1.0

Impossible to contact the dev team, even by email, which would have saved me two years of lost development time on my end. There is not even an effective communication channel between Customer Support and their own development team. It's one of those "I.T. doesn't talk to inferior beings" outfits. You know the type. Low integrity: If you make a mistake and misguide a paying customer, accept responsibility and issue a refund. It's the very least they could have done.

Pros

On paper, Zoho had all the flexibility and scalability we were looking for, but it turns out that it is incompatible with a Shopify store that has more than a few months of data. It won't import the data. This is not a misunderstanding and there is no workaround. Details below.

Cons

We bought it to be our CRM and Inventory Management System for our Shopify office furniture store. On installation, it would only import the last two months of transactions from Shopify. That's a disaster. For all of our regular customers, they'd have two accounts and we'd have to look in both places to find a past order, not to mention re-creating all of their account data by hand in the new system if they hadn't purchased in the last two months, and we'd have no idea what their lifetime value was. Zoho support was sure I had done something wrong. It took weeks for them to decide that Shopify was the problem. They told me Shopify was blocking the export of the data. So I called Shopify. They told me (in an hour) that they have an automatic block to prevent hacking but all Zoho had to do was to call them and they'd unblock them! Over a period of weeks, I tried to get to the right department to tell the install team or dev team about this, and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. They kept insisting it was a Shopify problem. A support rep got back to me a few months later and said the limitation had actually been built into Zoho and it would be fixed in the next version update. So, foolishly, I kept paying. I kept checking in and finally, two years later, they told they have no plans to fix this problem, and no, I couldn't have a refund even though I was waiting for them to fix what they told me they would fix, and had never used the product.

Reason for choosing Zoho Inventory

Low entry price and scalability, with robust feature set, but never used it because it just can't work with an existing Shopify store that has more than a few months of history to import.

### "Great for Inventory!"

February 17, 2022

4.0

The customer service is fairly decent ... they are hard to connect with sometimes being that they are all based in India and I'm in North America.

Pros

I like the detailed invoices, the ability to run all sorts of reports and the capability of doing invoicing/inventory etc all in one program.

Cons

Ok .. here is the biggest con for this product. It doesn't automatically synch with woocommerce. I had to buy an additional 2 synch connectors to use this with my online store. you would think in this day and age that it would automatically synch, but I have to implement Kloud connector to link woo commerce to Zoho and a second one to synch it back ... at a cost of an additional $30 USD per connector per month. Gets to be costly.

Reason for choosing Zoho Inventory

I hadn't done enough research and basically chose it based on the comparison lists of features.

### "Zoho Inventory for Trading business and Manufacturing concerns"

June 24, 2019

4.0

Though I am still exploring ZOHO Inventory but the best part was ease of use and instant impact on inventory management.

Pros

1- Its best for the Trading business. 2- The best thing is the ease of use. you don't have to be an accountant or a professional inventory manager to understand this software. 3- It is real-time. You don't have to wait for a department or server to process the command so that the information gets reflected. 4- Any prior period adjustment of cost or quantity, automatically adjust the costing and all the other accounts. 5- The best feature of Zoho is availability of customer service 24/7 6- For bulk data, you don't have to key in one by one. You just have to arrange the whole data in a specific format and upload it. 7- Composite items is the Bill of Material, which is gives you the option of calculating variances. 8- If you want to add an extra material, other than what is defined in the standard formula, you can do that. 9- The warehouse option helps you to keep track of inventory in each warehouse. While invoicing your customer, you can select the specific warehouse. 10- It is very well integrated with the ZOHO Books. 11- The Taxes can also be handled easily through Inventory module

Cons

1- For large organizations where multiple levels of warehouses exist and they require different approvals before issuance and receiving of materials or products, ZOHO inventory doesn't seems to provide that functionality. 2- You cannot print delivery notes on ZOHO Inventory, for that you have to go to ZOHO Books. 3- If you want to receive a product on multiple purchase orders together, you cannot. You have to receive the product of one purchase order at a time. 4- You can specify a purchase or sales price of a product but you cannot specify that as per the supplier of customer.

Zoho inventory helped get an excellent overview on and efficiently manage our inventory. It was easy to figure the tool out, including for our hardware engineers. We are saving tons of time and getting alerts when inventory is on the low end. Very pleased!

Pros

### "Zoho Inventory for the win "

July 13, 2022

5.0

We are a growing company that was in need of a sophisticated inventory management system. we found it in zoho

Pros

I loved how easy it was to connect to our shopify store. to my surprise, it was also able to connect to Ebay. It also connects to Paypal, which makes our money transactions easier to handle, limiting our stress. Using this software, we were able to keep a very accurate inventory while selling across multiple online platforms. It is worth the cost because this helps prevent any inventory shortages and lost orders because of a lack of inventory

Cons

The original setup was a very lengthy, which there were multiple confusing parts. There could also be a few more reports that come standard, we needed to make multiple custom reports, which also took lots of time and man power.
