Omnichannel workflows have become seamless and integrations support complex retail operations
Unfortunately, data regarding the positive impact on orders processed per day, time saved, or reduced downtime cannot be shared as it is internal information. I do not know of any areas Fluent Order Management can improve. As and when we are facing issues, the team is accessible to help us, and they are always available to understand our pain points and how it impacts the business. When we face issues or the platform is not working to its best potential, having the Fluent Order Management support team and the expert services is a great thing that we look to. They're very approachable, and we always have these engagements with them where they guide us or take these use cases back to the engineering team to refine modules. Fluent Order Management is pretty easy, and it is something that people can easily get onboarded onto, and there's nothing as an improvement to be shared at the moment. The reason why I'm saying 8 is because given that Fluent Order Management is an order management system that is still growing and still making improvements vastly, I would like to see how we can introduce AI into the order management system. Do we have capabilities of introducing a chatbot or AI on Fluent Order Management? I think that part of leveraging AI is a bit pending, and I'm deducting one from a technical aspect regarding some of the modules that I'm not aware of, just being skeptical on that front. Regarding Fluent Order Management's AI capabilities, I have personally not had any experience with the AI capabilities that Fluent Order Management has, and maybe that is something for me to explore. I do know that Fluent Order Management has introduced some AI capabilities from a development aspect, but because I'm not a developer, I do not have those insights.

Has streamlined invoicing through instant creation and customizable templates while enabling automation in tax handling and payment reconciliation
With Zoho Books, I have found the most valuable features that we don't need any reports because the reports get already generated based on the sales and purchases. We can easily find all the account receivables and accounts payables, and by the chart of accounts, we can create multiple charts of accounts under the category, whether it is expense, asset, or liability. We can easily verify and check those reports, file the tax in Zoho Books, and use the tax filing system that is available. We can also do e-invoicing in Zoho Books and integrate WhatsApp with Zoho Books, so if the invoice is overdue, the customer automatically gets a WhatsApp notification against the invoice number. There are multiple functionalities, including a banking system that allows us to directly integrate our bank with Zoho Books to reconcile the payments. If any payments come against the invoice, it gets reconciled, and we can integrate multiple payment gateways such as Razorpay, which automatically gets updated on the invoice when payment is received. The integration of Zoho Books with other applications influences my business operations significantly. For example, Zoho CRM provides the customer contacts that sync directly as customers in Zoho Books. The vendor information from Zoho CRM also syncs directly to vendors in Zoho Books. Estimates from Zoho CRM sync to Zoho Books when I enable Zoho Finance Suite in Zoho CRM, and the same vice versa for Zoho Books. Another feature is that I can add data sources in Zoho Analytics, so whatever reports get created in Zoho Books sync to analytics, allowing me to create better dashboards according to my needs. I can join the tables pushed from Books in analytics to gain more insights, and if any reports aren't generated in Zoho Books report section, I can join the tables in Zoho Analytics for that purpose. The financial insights from Zoho Books reporting module that most impact my decision-making processes include features such as transfer orders and adjustments. For instance, if I lose any quantities or items are destroyed, I can easily manage the transfer from one warehouse to another. If items are kept in one warehouse but someone purchases from another warehouse, I can create transfer orders and invoices. Additionally, after delivery, I can create delivery challans for the transportation systems. If I have created an invoice but don't have enough quantity, I can create a purchase order and request for a purchase, which later helps in creating that invoice. These features make Zoho Books more proficient than other accounting software such as QuickBooks and Tally.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Fluent Order Management has positively impacted my organization significantly."
"Fluent Order Management has positively impacted my organization because we now have one particular hub where we can fetch data including products, locations, inventory, and orders, and we experienced fewer returns, and both the cancellation rate and refund rate decreased significantly by using Fluent Order Management."
"I think this framework is really complete for an OMS."
"Fluent Order Management has positively impacted my organization because the clients we have implemented it for have seen increased sales, fewer cancellations, and better order handling, especially compared to older OMSs and competitors they used previously."
"I think the ability to provide solutions for small retailers as well as medium and large-scale retailers, having all of these capabilities, is brilliant."
"Fluent Order Management has positively impacted my organization by eliminating overselling."
"Fluent Order Management has impacted my organization positively because the projects I have worked on are currently relying on that specific order management system, and I know other projects also that are relying on this order management system."
"For a retailer, I have implemented Fluent Order Management to be their global inventory, setting up global inventory visibility and inventory as a service for commerce and marketplace, call center, and a number of other B2B channels, enabling dynamic sourcing across a number of facilities and stores, tracking and monitoring real-time velocity of demand against store inventory to broadcast demand across other stores within the region, hooking in all integrations to demand planning and ERP, WMS, payment systems, fraud, and other systems, and the outcome was an 80% reduction in split shipments, a 98% inventory accuracy rate, and an increase of sales by 25%."
"Almost all the features are there, and they have different plans with lots of features."
"The major benefit I've seen from Zoho Books is its positive impact on saving time around CRM and projects, CRM, bookkeeping, and projects as that works very efficiently."
"I have worked with multiple clients for Zoho Books, and they are completely satisfied with the implementation and customization automation we did."
"With Zoho Books, I have found the most valuable features that we don't need any reports because the reports get already generated based on the sales and purchases."

Cons

"Regarding Fluent Order Management's AI capabilities, governance and security are not live yet; they are still testing and it is not even in beta at this time."
"The reason why I'm saying 8 is because given that Fluent Order Management is an order management system that is still growing and still making improvements vastly, I would like to see how we can introduce AI into the order management system."
"Fluent Order Management can be improved in terms of the logging mechanism and monitoring for debugging, as those aspects can be further simplified."
"Regarding how Fluent Order Management can be improved, I would say that additional AI capabilities would facilitate easier implementation, and while the system is already simple and modular, enhancing AI features could help us write less code and generate templates for specific client requests more efficiently."
"I would say that Fluent Order Management system could be improved mainly through the user interface for the console, and I would say even the React components of the store, while they are able to be modified, do not necessarily have an optimized appearance and feel, so clients need to be very specific about how they want to show their branding and their workflows within those screens."
"Fluent Order Management's scalability is ideally scalable at least from what they are offering, but for the multi-tenant system they are offering it on, it is still having issues at times."
"There are certain improvements needed in Fluent Order Management that I think could enhance the system."
"If I could point to an area of improvement, it would be that Fluent Order Management lacks a native reporting tool."
"They can improve their approval process and access matrix in Zoho Books."
"Areas of Zoho Books that could be improved or enhanced include the requirements for data size, as sometimes there is too much data."
"In terms of improvement, there are two things which they are going to improve, but they have dedicated products for them."
"The user interface of Zoho Books is frustrating when compared to QuickBooks or other alternatives."
"I do not have any challenges within Zoho Books, but sometimes if you want to change the currencies for customers, that can be a bit tricky, especially if you want to issue different invoices in different currencies, maybe even for the same customer, that's the only thing."
