Send branded quotes for bulk or custom orders, convert accepted ones into invoices in a click, and let customers pay online.

Raise purchase orders for raw materials, send them to suppliers, and convert them to bills as stock arrives. Record supplier payment terms, keep track of what you owe, and tie every material cost to the right purchases.

Track raw materials and finished goods as items in Zoho Books, set reorder points, and assign preferred vendors before a line runs dry.

Bring your bank transactions into Zoho Books and match them to invoices, bills, and expenses using suggested matches.

Record VAT as you go, review your return, and submit it directly to HMRC without keying figures into a separate portal. Your VAT records stay digital and linked to the transactions behind them.






What more can Zoho Books offer?
Tag income and costs by product line, factory, or cost center, then run profit and loss by tag. See which products earn their keep and check the real margin before you discount a quote or absorb a material price rise.

Send invoices promptly, automate payment reminders, and monitor outstanding payments so your productions stay on schedule.

Keep transactions, supplier bills, receipts, and compliance documents in one place. Invite your accountant in with their own access, and generate profit and loss, balance sheet, and VAT reports on demand.

Raise and record transactions in multiple currencies, with exchange rates applied for you. Supplier bills in euros or dollars and customer invoices abroad sit alongside your GBP accounts, with currency gains and losses tracked automatically. No manual conversions.

Capture expenses with receipt photos from the mobile app, categorize them to the right cost accounts, and route them through approval before they're recorded. Overheads sit alongside material costs in your reports, so you see the full cost of production at a glance.

At Zoho, we take pride in our perpetual efforts to surpass all expectations in providing security and privacy to our customers in this increasingly connected world.

Zoho Books helps you see profitability using reporting tags. Tag income and costs by product line, factory, or cost centre, then run profit and loss by tag to compare how different products perform. Combined with purchase orders and supplier bills, this gives finance teams a clearer view of where margins are strong and where rising material costs need attention.
Zoho Books includes built-in inventory, so you can track stock, set reorder points, and assign preferred vendors for raw materials and finished goods. For assemblies, bills of materials, and batch tracking, Zoho Books connects with the Zoho Inventory add-on, which extends these capabilities. Availability depends on your plan, so check the pricing page or ask the Zoho team about your setup.
