OMS Office Master System vs. Zoho Inventory

Well OMS can be perfect for medium and large organization,project management, dealing with large volume of documents.The system would be less effective where its small business and simple needs, limited budget, and where there is resistance to adopt new technologies .

Requires a lot of customisation to get started. Very limited customer support, support appeared to not be that knowledgable with issues that aren't the usual issues most users get. Forms aren't optimised for conversions. Zoho offers a lot of features but the depth of its functionality proves limited as our demands increase.

• OMS software been around for a long time and they have thoughtfully added features for wholesale businesses. However, the software is in need of an update that makes the software easier to use and more modern.
• The user flow could be improved and the layout could be more intuitive. It is inconvenient to change between modules. It takes time for team members to become familiar with the software.
• We appreciate the ability to import/export data, however we wish that this feature was easier to use for the team. Currently only a few members with technology experience are able to use the feature.

• Templates within Zoho Inventory are very weak. You can't customize many including package slips, shipment docs, etc...
• When an order has multiple packages, it's next to impossible to find the item you are looking for. Scenario, a large order has many packages and a customer has cancelled one of the items. You must click through every package to find the item, edit the package and remove it before you can cancel the item.
• The reports within Inventory are extremely basic and many of them are useless
• The packing slip module is useless as it does not print out bin locations
• It's an inventory management system but it does not have bin locations
• The backorder system is useless. If you "backorder" something then the whole order is locked until the backorder arrives in. Scenario.... a client orders 20 items, 1 is on backorder. You "backorder" that one item but want to ship the other 19... not possible. The order gets completely locked.
• You can't print out RMA requests. There is just no option to do it, you have to do a screen shot
• Integration with Amazon or other 3rd party e-commerce providers is troublesome.

It is relatively easy to customise but the problem is sometimes it is not easy to see where this customisation is available. Also the integrations with external systems can prove problematic both during installation and ongoing development and maintenance. It's great for small companies with a simple inventory or even larger organisations with smaller product lines. And it is reasonably priced if you ar eprepared to put the time in.

We highly recommend OMS because of their customer support. When evaluating their software, we had a sales associate and a programmer walk us through the software and answer questions. They allowed us to demo the software at our offices. During onboarding, we received live training form a knowledgeable team member. We were happy that phone calls were always answered quickly. In fact, they reached out to us multiple times to make sure that we were set up and happy.

In our search for inventory management software, we read reviews online and set up demos with many companies. We were open to trying retail focused software liked Vend because they were modern and cloud based. TradeGecko was a viable option, however lacked all the features we needed for our unique wholesale business. We migrated to Cin7 for 2 years but were unhappy with their server down time, their customer support and the subscription fee change. Ultimately we came across OMS because other people in our industry recommended OMS and found that OMS addressed our wholesale businesses needs.

The inventory management is better than QuickBooks however you give up an awful lot to get that benefit. The reporting in QuickBooks is far superior. The reporting in Inventory is terrible with every few options to customize the reports. For example, pulling in a salesperson report that factors in returns is not possible. You can't pull a report to see what items need to be picked for all open orders.

• OMS reduced invoicing errors by allowing us to sell based on wholesale units, like cases or pallets.
• We previously used cloud based software where we experienced downtime and could not create invoices. We do not experience any down time with OMS.
• OMS is purchased as a lump sump 1 time payment, so we are not surprised by any pricing changes. However we incurred the cost of setting up a server and backing up the data.

• Coming from QuickBooks enterprise with inventory add-on it's an improvement in tracking stock because it restricts so much of what you do.
• Migrating to Inventory was a bit of a nightmare. I'd recommend starting clean or bring as little data as possible.
