3. Automatic Revenue Recognition: Let the System Handle It

Revenue recognition can be a pain, especially with bulk orders. This new feature spreads out revenue automatically across future months so your books stay accurate without the hassle. It’s accounting that works in the background while you focus on the bigger picture.

 

4. Assemblies Feature: Build Smarter

If you’re in manufacturing or assembling products from multiple parts, this one’s for you. The new Assemblies feature helps you put together finished goods inside Zoho Inventory, so everything from components to final products is tracked seamlessly. It’s a serious time-saver.

 

5. Weighted Average Costing: More Accurate Valuations

Instead of tracking each item’s cost individually, this update averages it out. The result? Your inventory value is more stable, and your financial reports are cleaner. It’s especially useful when costs fluctuate—and let’s be honest, they always do.

 

These updates aren’t just technical tweaks—they’re practical tools to help you run your business more efficiently. Whether you’re managing inventory, handling invoices, or just trying to keep your numbers straight, Zoho Inventory’s new features are here to help.

Give them a try and see the difference for yourself.

Setup is easy – just a few clicks, and your new digital assistant is up and running. No IT headaches, no complicated installations. 

Want Something Custom? 

Maybe your business has specific needs that a pre-built agent can’t handle. That’s where Agent Studio comes in You don’t need to be a coder to create an AI agent – just tell it what tasks to take on, and it’ll get to work. For example, say you want an AI that reminds customers to check out their abandoned carts or an assistant that tracks stock levels and alerts your team when inventory is low. You can set that up in a few steps, no programming required. 

Zia Agents Work Together

These agents aren’t just working in silos – they actually talk to each other. A sales agent can gather customer info and pass it along to a customer support agent, making sure your team always has the right details. Instead of juggling different systems, everything works together. 

Where Can You Use Zia Agents

These AI assistants can handle: 

• Sales: Following up on leads, tracking deals. 
• Customer Support: Resolving tickets, answering FAQs.
• Marketing: Managing campaigns, analyzing responses.
• Finance: Tracking invoices, keeping records updated. 
• Analytics: Pulling insights from your data. 
• Operations: Handling routine tasks so your team doesn’t have to. 

Basically, if there’s a repetitive task slowing you down, there’s probably a Zia Agent for it. 

AI sounds fancy, but Zia Agents make it practical. Whether you grab a ready-made agent from the marketplace or create your own, they help take the load off your team so you can focus on what really matters. 

 

2. Track Every Penny Without the Hassle

Keeping up with expenses doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Zoho Books lets you log and categorize expenses, scan receipts, and even set up recurring bills so you can never miss a payment. You can also convert purchase orders into bills with one click. Simple, seamless, stress-free. 

 

3. Bank Reconciliation Made Stupid-Easy

Manually matching transactions with your bank statements? Yeah, no thanks. Zoho Books automatically syncs with your bank account, fetches transactions, and matches them with your records. Less time balancing books = more time growing your business. 

 

4. Inventory Management That Actually Works

If you sell physical products, you need a solid inventory system. Zoho Books helps you track stock levels, set reorder points, and manage SKUs like a pro. It even supports composite items and pricing lists, so you can keep everything organized without breaking a sweat. 

 

5. Say Goodbye to Time Tracking Headaches

For service-based businesses, time tracking is everything. With Zoho Books you can log billable hours, create timesheets, and invoice clients directly based on time spent. No more guessing or messy spreadsheets – just accurate billing every time.

Plus, you can schedule reports to be sent automatically, so you always have the data you need without lifting a finger. 

 

7. Collaboration? Check

No more emailing spreadsheets back and forth with your accountant. Zoho Books lets you invite your team, accountant,  or even clients to collaborate in real-time. Everyone gets the access they need, and stay in control of your financial data. 

 

8. Smart Automation Saves You Tons of Time
