After, with Zoho
- Ad lead capture and attribution
- WhatsApp campaigns with consent
- Bilingual email and landing pages
- Lead scoring and handover to sales
- Segmentation on real purchase data
- Loyalty and retention

Where Zoho is the wrong answer for a marketing manager
Zoho Marketing Automation covers most mid-market needs, but very large B2C programmes with millions of contacts and real-time personalisation may outgrow it. Attribution also depends on sales updating CRM stages honestly.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom apps, so the written recommendation after discovery can say another option fits better, or that you should not buy anything yet.
