About Zoho Inventory

Zoho Inventory tracks stock, purchase orders and sales orders for small and mid-sized businesses that sell across several channels. It syncs orders and stock levels with Amazon, Etsy, Shopify and WooCommerce, handles multiple warehouses with transfer orders, picklists and bin locations, and covers backorders, dropshipping, packing and shipping with carriers such as UPS and FedEx. Higher plans add serial and batch tracking, barcode generation, stock counts and a vendor portal. It fits tightly with Zoho Books for accounting and Zoho CRM, and also connects to QuickBooks Online and Xero. A free plan covers 50 orders a month for one user, and paid plans are priced per organisation by monthly order volume, users and locations, with a free trial. It runs in the browser with mobile apps, and suits small businesses better than complex manufacturers.

Best for: Small multichannel sellers who want stock synced with Amazon, Shopify and their accounting.
