Zoho Inventory for Indian E-Commerce and Retail

Zoho Inventory is a standalone inventory management tool that integrates with Zoho Books for accounting and Zoho CRM for sales. For Indian businesses selling physical products through multiple channels (website, Amazon India, Flipkart, and offline), Zoho Inventory keeps stock levels accurate across all channels.

Multi-channel inventory sync for Indian e-commerce

Multi-Channel Inventory Sync

Connect Zoho Inventory to your online sales channels: Amazon India, Flipkart, Shopify, WooCommerce, and your own website. When an order comes in from any channel, Zoho Inventory reduces the stock count across all channels simultaneously. No more overselling because your Amazon listing showed stock that was already sold on Flipkart.

Warehouse Management

Track stock across multiple warehouses. Each warehouse has its own stock levels, reorder points, and bin locations. Transfer stock between warehouses with transfer orders that update both locations in real time.

Order Fulfilment

When an order arrives, Zoho Inventory creates a packing slip, assigns it to a warehouse for picking, and generates a shipping label (integrations with Shiprocket, Delhivery, and other Indian couriers). Track the shipment status within Zoho Inventory and send tracking updates to the customer automatically.

Batch and Serial Number Tracking

For businesses that need traceability (electronics, health products, food items), track each item by batch number or serial number. Know exactly which batch was shipped to which customer — critical for recall management and warranty tracking.

Integration with Zoho Books

Zoho Inventory syncs with Zoho Books for accounting. Sales orders create invoices, purchase orders create vendor bills, and inventory adjustments create journal entries — all automatically. Your stock valuation in Inventory matches your balance sheet in Books.

Pricing

Zoho Inventory has a free plan for 50 orders/month. Paid plans start at Rs. 2,500/month (Standard) with 1,500 orders/month. For companies on Zoho One, Inventory is included with per-organisation limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Zoho Inventory integrate with Amazon India and Flipkart?
Yes. Direct integrations with Amazon India and Flipkart sync orders, inventory levels, and product listings. Orders from these marketplaces appear in Zoho Inventory automatically. Inventory updates push back to the marketplace to prevent overselling.
Can I manage inventory for manufacturing (raw materials + finished goods)?
Zoho Inventory supports composite items (bill of materials). Define a finished product as a combination of raw materials. When a composite item is sold, the system deducts the component items. For complex manufacturing, consider NetSuite’s manufacturing module.
Does Zoho Inventory handle GST on stock transfers?
Inter-warehouse transfers within the same state do not attract GST. For transfers between states, Zoho Inventory creates a delivery challan (not an invoice). Consult your CA for the GST treatment specific to your business structure.
How does it compare to Unicommerce?
Unicommerce is focused on e-commerce order management and warehouse operations. Zoho Inventory is broader, covering purchase orders, vendor management, and accounting integration. For pure e-commerce operations with high order volumes, Unicommerce has more marketplace integrations. For businesses that need inventory + accounting + CRM, Zoho Inventory within the Zoho ecosystem is more integrated.
