What Zoho ERP is and what implementation takes
Zoho ERP is Zoho’s enterprise resource planning product for India, launched on 23 January 2026. It covers core financials, billing, spend, supply chain, omnichannel commerce, payroll and HR, fixed assets and budgeting, with GST, e-invoicing and e-way bills. Licences start at INR 999 a user a month, billed annually, for at least five users. Techvaria takes a distribution rollout live in 8 to 12 weeks and a manufacturing rollout in 12 to 16 weeks.
