How it works

The business process, step by step

  1. 01

    Quote

    Retailer orders start as quotes prepared in Zoho CRM against each retailer account, so the sales team can track which quotes are open, accepted or still waiting for a decision.

  2. 02

    Procurement

    Sarees and suits are bought from manufacturers through purchase orders raised in Zoho Inventory, so each purchase is recorded against the supplier and the designs and lots received.

  3. 03

    Stock by design

    Received goods are recorded in Zoho Inventory by design and lot, so the team can see which designs are in stock, and in what quantity, before confirming a retailer order.

  4. 04

    GST tax invoice

    Every sale is billed with a GST-compliant tax invoice from Zoho Books, carrying the correct tax for the retailer, so each sale and its stock movement are matched to one invoice.

  5. 05

    Collection

    Retailer payments are recorded against invoices in Zoho Books, and bank statements are imported for reconciliation, so the team can follow up outstanding retailer credit from one view.

  6. 06

    Reporting

    Management reviews sales and receivables reports in Zoho Analytics, built from Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory data, to see what has been sold and what retailers still owe.

FAQ

Questions about this project

How is stock tracked for sarees and suits?

Stock is held in Zoho Inventory by design and lot. Purchase orders to manufacturers record what is received, so the team can see which designs are available before quoting or confirming an order for a retailer.

How are retailer collections followed up?

Retailer payments are recorded against GST invoices in Zoho Books, and bank statements are imported for reconciliation. Outstanding balances can then be followed up from one view, with receivables reporting in Zoho Analytics.

Are the invoices GST compliant?

Yes. Every sale is billed with a GST-compliant tax invoice generated in Zoho Books, which supports Indian GST invoicing, so the tax on each retailer invoice comes from the same system that records the sale and the payment.

We are not the cheapest, and we decline work where the budget will not cover doing it properly or where the product is the wrong answer.

How we handle it: You get a written recommendation after the free discovery call either way, including when that recommendation is not to proceed.
