Is Zoho One for you?

In the earlier post, we saw about Zoho’s launch of arguably one of the biggest suite of business apps in the history of software industry yet : Zoho One.

Now you are a business owner and wondering if you need Zoho One. After working with businesses across the globe in automating business processes and workflows for the last four years, these are few things I would suggest you consider, before making this decision.

1. Is an Excel sheet the bread and butter of your business? Are you maintaining all your data in Excel? Are you then sharing the Excel through email and then struggling to find out / control who changed what? Is data integrity a nightmare?

Time and again, I've been both awed and shocked to see countless business owners making a mess out of their most important thing in their life ... their business, by using Excel to manage it!

Time to #StopExcelAbuse. I will make a separate post on interesting cases we have come across on Excel abuse.

2. Are you employing someone who is working a lot in just entering data from one system to another, because the systems cannot really talk to each other? Time to get Zoho One and relieve that person to do more higher level work.

3. Are you using at least three different software tools to do things for your business?

Trust me. When you use different tools from different vendors, making them talk to each other is no fun. Often times, you find yourself wondering why something here is not there, and something is different in each system and so on. I have seen many business owners lose sleep over this!

4. Are you having multiple employees doing clearly designated tasks and then you are spending phenomenal amount of time just managing their roles and permissions across systems?

Zoho One manages this beautifully with a single unified interface to control user accesses and permissions across their apps.

If you said yes to even one of the above questions, then Zoho One is for you.

Zoho CRM Custom Function For Lead Phone Num Country Code Updation

Recently Zoho CRM Community had a blogpost on how to add country code to Leads along with a script to do the same. But the script seemed to leave a lot to be desired. Here is a screenshot of their 10-line script: These are the missing things we noticed with the above script: 1. First, there needs to be validation of whether the incoming phone number is empty or not. In the above script, even if the phone number is empty, '+91' will be added to the phone number. So, this means, in such records, phone number field will have only the value '+91'. 2. It would have been good to make it more generalized than hardcoding a specific country code into the script. Because this script is going to be applied to Leads, it is possible that the Leads may be coming in from various countries, given today's global nature of businesses. So having the script address just one country code is not going to satisfy today's growing business needs. 3. There is no checking in the script t

Achieve Zen with Zoho One

Zoho One. Arguably the launch of the biggest software suite of Apps in the software industry yet. When I first heard of this, I was not paying attention because I thought to myself "Just a rumor". But when I saw the launch today, it was mind-blowing! How could someone give away a suite of almost forty enterprise-ready apps for such a drop dead price?! But it's true and it is happening. Drop-dead Pricing 38 cloud-based Apps + 55 mobile Apps. Must be a whopping price for so many Apps, right? That’s what I thought until I heard the price of $30 / month / user! That works out to about just $1.36/day/user, or rather, a little more than 15 cents/working hour/user! Cheaper than a cup of coffee! One for All. All for One. It’s is a very powerful concept. Come to think of it. All for one. All the business apps that you needed so far and possibly will ever need. One for all. One Suite. One login. One place for all your data so you can start connecting them together and making b

Why managing your Sales Pipeline with Excel is not a piece of cake 🎂

With Christmas round the corner, everywhere you see cakes and so the title seemed more apt for this time of the year 😉 Here is a recent conversation I had with a customer (rather, lead). He contacted me asking for some modification to an Excel template. This was a Sales Pipeline Tracker template, which he had downloaded (& started using) from this website . I have uploaded the file here with the customer's data masked https://docs.zoho.com/file/4ogu8568be2e1b3584c61a04203a17674007d Some issues in using Excel are immediately obvious as soon as you glance through the Excel file. Like a bachelor pad 🙄 Ever went into a bachelor pad and seen the mess? Same with the Excel data in here. Once you open the file, you can notice immediately that the data is not properly organised. See the first column for Client Name. Some have just first name, some just the last name, some have full name. Sometimes, it is just the initials! There is no specific idea o
