One product, because the factory is one thing.
Zoho is real cloud software, done well for a decade. For a factory, its own structure is the question: the books in one product, the stock in another.
What Zoho Books + Inventory is genuinely good at
Stated first, because it is true — and because you already know it.
Mature cloud accounting
Multi-user, role-based, anywhere — the promise we make, kept by them for ten years.
Statutory breadth we don’t match yet
E-invoice, e-way, TDS, bank feeds — real, shipped, today.
Fair, visible pricing
Books from ₹899/month; Inventory from ₹1,499/month.
Where a factory outgrows it
The factory is split across two products
Manufacturing needs Books plus Inventory, stitched by an integration — two screens, two vocabularies, one more place for stock and books to disagree.
A warehouse product, not a factory one
Kitting exists; stages, scrap reasons, quality holds, job-work challans with the section-143 clock, machines and downtime do not.
Built for the English-speaking office
No Hindi. The gate and the floor are not its users.
Sentences owners actually say
“We tried Zoho — the accountant liked it, the factory never opened it.”
“Books and Inventory showed different stock and nobody knew which was right.”
What switching honestly costs
Zoho exports everything cleanly. Balances and masters through the import wizard; the filing history stays in Zoho for reference.
What Zoho Books + Inventory has that we don’t — yet
- E-invoice/e-way, TDS, bank feeds, a closed-period balance sheet.
- Multi-currency, and the wider ecosystem (CRM, forms, analytics).
- A decade of uptime record — they have it, we are new and say so.

Zoho Books + Inventory was built for many kinds of business. SutraBook was built for yours.
Built for factories, with India’s GST native. Stock that matches the shelf, GST that checks itself, wages from attendance — one thread. Bring the Excel you already keep — judged before written.
