Reasons to switch
Why teams pick Waitizzy IMS over Zoho Inventory
You import, and exchange rates move
Raise each PO in the supplier’s currency. The rate locks at the first GRN, so landed stock is valued once and stays right.
Your suppliers work on advance terms
Terms like “20% advance, balance on delivery” are saved on the supplier, fill in on every PO and print on the PDF.
Goods arrive in boxes, not units
Every PO line carries a package / box count, so the store checks arrivals the way they actually come in.
Low-value items lose cost to rounding
Costs are stored exactly as entered, so unit costs for fasteners, components and bulk items stay accurate.
Nothing moves without sign-off
Purchase orders, stock adjustments and inter-store transfers can need approval, and every change is in the audit log.

- You sell online and need stock synced with Amazon, Shopify or other marketplaces.
- You ship parcels and want carrier rates and labels inside your inventory app.
