What Zoho Inventory implementation covers
Zoho Inventory implementation sets up your items, warehouses, batch and serial rules, price lists, purchase and sales flows, landed cost and channel integrations, then loads opening stock and trains your warehouse and sales teams. At Techvaria a single-company setup with up to 3 warehouses goes live in 4 to 6 weeks. A multi-warehouse, multi-channel rollout with Books and CRM links takes 8 to 12 weeks. Fixed-scope projects are quoted after a scoping call; licences are separate.
What we set up
Warehouses and bins
Stock by location, transfers between warehouses, bin locations on higher plans.
Batch and serial tracking
Batch expiry dates for food, pharma and chemicals; serials for electronics and equipment.
Landed cost
Freight, duty and clearing charges added from bills and allocated across items by value or quantity.
Item groups and composite items
Variants by size or colour, and kits or bundles sold as one item.
Barcodes
Barcode generation and scanning for receiving, picking and packing.
Price lists
Separate pricing for wholesale, retail, dealers or selected vendors.
Sales channels
Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Walmart orders synced with stock levels.

How the project runs
- Discovery, weeks 1 to 2. We walk through purchase, receiving, storage, picking, dispatch and returns with your team. You sign a written design.
- Item master and setup, weeks 2 to 4. Units, variants, batches, serials, warehouses, price lists and tax rules built in a test organisation.
- Integrations, weeks 3 to 6. Books, CRM, Shopify or Amazon, and shipping carriers connected and tested with real orders.
- Stock load and testing. Opening stock counted and loaded by warehouse and batch. Your team runs a full order cycle in UAT.
- Go-live and hypercare. We cut over at a month-end or a stock count date, then give 12 weeks of support.
