How do you choose between Zoho, Business Central and the alternatives?

Choose by how your business runs, not by brand. Most small and mid-sized firms in the Middle East start on Zoho; Business Central earns its higher cost when operations, not accounting, are the hard part.

  • If you...: Mainly invoice, pay bills, reconcile banks and file VAT

    Consider
    Zoho Books
    Why
    Priced per organization with users included; VAT and e-invoicing built in
  • If you...: Need sales, support and accounting under one login

    Consider
    Zoho One
    Why
    One account and directory, so a deal becomes a ticket and an invoice
  • If you...: Run several warehouses, production or approvals across departments

    Why
    Full ERP, with finance data in Teams, Excel and Power BI
  • If you...: Already use Freshdesk or Freshsales

    Consider
    Freshworks
    Why
    We license and support it, and can plan a move to Zoho if you want one
  • If you...: Manufacture or need on-premise or open-source control

    Consider
    Odoo, with an Odoo partner
    Why
    When Odoo fits better, we say so, suggest an Odoo partner and can host it on a cloud server

Takeaway: licence price is only part of the bill. Compare three-year totals, including implementation. The detail is in Zoho Books vs Dynamics 365 Business Central and Zoho vs Odoo.

How does an implementation run?

Each app is set up in phases, so your team is working in the new system before the next part starts.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map how you sell, buy, invoice, stock and report today, and which spreadsheets and systems hold the data.

  2. 02

    Design

    Chart of accounts, tax settings, approval rules, pipelines and roles, agreed with your finance and sales leads.

  3. 03

    Data migration

    Customers, suppliers, items, open invoices and balances moved from your old system, checked against your trial balance.

  4. 04

    Training and go-live

    Users trained on their own daily tasks, then a go-live date that avoids month-end.

  5. 05

    Support

    Tickets, phone and remote sessions, Sunday to Friday, and the next phase when you are ready.

Deployment, migration, licences, training and support are separate components, each quoted for your requirement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is included in business apps, finance and ERP?

Accounting, VAT and e-invoicing, CRM, help desk, inventory, point of sale, projects, purchasing, documents and reporting. We implement them on Zoho Books, Zoho Desk, Zoho CRM, Zoho One and the other Zoho apps, and on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, then train your users and support them after go-live.

Is Zoho an ERP?

Zoho One covers most of what a small or mid-sized company needs from an ERP: accounting in Zoho Books, stock in Zoho Inventory, sales in Zoho CRM, support in Zoho Desk and projects in Zoho Projects, on one account. It is lighter on manufacturing and complex operations, where Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the stronger fit.

Which accounting software handles GCC VAT and e-invoicing?

Zoho Books has editions for VAT in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain. Zoho states that Zoho Books is ZATCA-approved for Phase 2 e-invoicing in Saudi Arabia, and Zoho is an accredited e-invoicing service provider for the UAE mandate. We set up e-invoicing in Zoho Books in the UAE and Saudi Arabia; Zoho has not published Fawtara e-invoicing support for Zoho Books in Oman.

Do you work with Odoo, Tally or QuickBooks?

Yes, in two ways. We host ERP and accounting systems such as Odoo, ERPNext and Tally on cloud servers as a hosting project, and we move companies from Tally, QuickBooks and Xero to Zoho Books. When Odoo fits your business better than Zoho, our comparison says so and we suggest an Odoo partner. See ERP hosting in the cloud.

How long does a Zoho Books or Zoho One implementation take?

It depends on the number of users and apps, your current system, the data to move and how quickly your team can review each step. A single-entity Zoho Books setup typically goes live in a few weeks; Zoho One runs in phases of typically a few weeks each. These are indicative estimates that change with your requirements, and we give you a dated plan after discovery.

Can you take over a Zoho or Dynamics system someone else set up?

Yes. We start by reviewing the users, settings, automations and integrations, and give you a short list of what to fix first, in order of impact. Then we fix what is blocking your team and support the system from then on, with admin access and a support contract.
