Zoho Creator

We are a $26B company operating in more than 64 countries. There are multiple development teams located at multiple centers both at site and GBS centers. There is a need to develop custom-based applications depending upon the site's requirements in addition to the global applications. IT Ops team was not interested in spending hefty investment for site-specific applications. That's where we figured out low code environment Zoho Creator. We have been using this application for more than 2 yrs since started a POC with one site.

• Easy implementation
• Not suitable for handling complex logic or big data handling
• drag and drop functionality to meet business requirements at ease

We use Zoho Creator as a low code tool. Major use cases are if we have to quickly build a solution prototype and test it. Apart from that if there are any solutions that need to be built for an internal audience, we try using a low code approach. In both the use cases, it helps in reducing time to market and cost to build.

• Workflow.
• Data Visualization.

• It has reduced the cost to build for applications which are not business critical.

We are a logistics service provider and are in the industry for 40 years.Being a traditional business house its really difficult to implement Modern Softwares as existing team will not accept modern technologies.Because of this generation gap we are had lot of issues in implemeting zoho on initial stages.

As far as considering problems with the business, just like any business house we did have lot of issues especially with meeting our customer demand on real time basis and providing them with timely data.Also we had too many un used manpower and we sorted it out using zoho creator.

We were able to identify our weaker side and patch it with multiple methods which slowly increased our profit

• 1st the ROI was done within few months.
• Reduced lot of loss, which otherwise would have not been noted if not for zoho
• Most important is the user accountability which is very vital in todays business

It's always perceived that wedding photographers have the best job and it's

all fun. However, in reality, it's the most complex service offering in the whole

wedding industry because it's the only service that has a very long customer

lifecycle—90+ days—and also the riskiest.

For the first few years, Studio 31 was busy building a strong foundation, and

it solely focused on the creative aspect of the business, along with great

customer service.

From inquiry to delivery, there were more than 37 processes that had to be

diligently followed to provide a hassle-free experience for its customers. For

Studio 31, everything was smooth initially, when we captured a limited

number of weddings. However, as we grew, we lost control over what was

happening, and a creative profession turned into an administrative one, with

all the hassles that entails.

<ul><li>Data management and accuracy </li><li>Expensive human error due to business complexity </li><li>Dependency on spreadsheets that had to be manually updated </li><li>Updating customers manually resulted in over 46 email threads

per customer and staff having to invest over four hours every

day in replying to emails</li><li>Lack of analytics and reporting</li><li>And more random issues that would pop up every day </li></ul>After investing a lot of money and time in over 15 CRM's, we learnt that any ready to use platform will not suit our business model and this is where Zoho Creator came in. We are able to build whatever we've in mind without much restrictions. It's like an open canvas.

There's nothing that you cannot achieve in Zoho Creator. You just need clarity and direction on how to make best use of the product.
