Year end review | Zoho Inventory

New modules

Shipments

Access all shipments you've created from the Shipments module. We've also added more statuses and support to attach documents to each shipment.

Receives

Manage and track all your receives under a single roof from the new Receives module. We've also added a bunch of other features including a new status, In Transit, that you can use to indicate that the items are on their way to your warehouse.

New editions

We introduced two new editions, Kenya and Mexico, to make it easier for businesses in those regions to manage their inventory easily while ensuring that they create transactions compliant with the local tax laws.

Advanced multi-currency handling

Invoice your customers from multiple countries in any currency you want. Whenever you choose a different currency, Zoho Inventory will auto-fetch the current exchange rate and calculate the amount.
Unit conversion

Create transactions for an item in any unit! Zoho Inventory automatically converts the base unit of an item to the unit you've configured when you create sales or purchase transactions.
Incremental barcode scanning

When you add items to a package or a purchase receive using a barcode scanner, Zoho Inventory will increase the quantity of the item added as they're scanned in succession.
Advanced inventory tracking is no longer mandatory

Entering an item's serial number or batch tracking details when you create transactions is now optional. We've also added the "Missing Advanced Inventory Tracking Details" report to help you track all the transactions that have missing serial or batch tracking details.
Print and download bundles as PDFs

Do you pack and sell multiple items as a bundle? Now, print or download the bundle information as a PDF and stick it to your box for easy access.

Zoho Inventory's automation capabilities saved us a lot of time in the order management process. It probably saved us 10 hours a week. When we deal with other business associates, and they ask what we use for inventory tracking, we are always keen to talk about Zoho; we feel we have made the right decision.

Dylan Cooke

Director, Lumber Jack Distributor Canada

We have been using Zoho Inventory for a year now. We can say it has increased sales by at least 15-20%, as of now, by helping us manage stock in a better way. We now know what we currently have in stock, how the product is selling, and when we need to restock. It has helped show us where we stand and what needs to be done. We have a better understanding of everything.
