Disconnected Systems
Cost You More Than You Think

Managing customer enquiries, equipment deliveries, installations, rentals, and invoicing across separate tools creates friction that slows your team and impacts margins.

📊

Data Silos

Customer details, equipment orders, and payment plans spread across tools with no single source of truth.

🔄

Double Entry

Manually tracking quotes, orders, and invoices across systems wastes hours and introduces errors.

📅

Delivery & Install Scheduling

Coordinating equipment deliveries, installations, and rental pickups without a unified scheduling tool.

💸

Revenue Leakage

Delayed invoicing on installations, unbilled rentals, and untracked "Pay As You Sweat" instalments.

🔍

No Visibility

No real-time view of sales pipeline, delivery schedules, or financial performance across commercial and residential clients.

Zoho Platform Licensing
Billed Directly by Zoho

Software licences are subscribed and billed directly by Zoho. Both options deliver the same core modules (CRM, Books, FSM). Zoho FSM is licensed separately in both options. Option B adds 40+ additional business applications for future scalability.

Option B — Growth Suite

Zoho One + Zoho FSM

The operating system for business. Zoho One delivers 45+ integrated apps including CRM and Books, paired with Zoho FSM for field service management.

Zoho One includes
Zoho CRM — Manage leads, track deals across commercial & residential segments, sales forecasting, automations
Zoho Books — Invoicing, instalment tracking, expense management, bank reconciliation, financial reporting
45+ additional apps — HR, project management, marketing automation, analytics, helpdesk, social, and more
Zia AI — Organisation-wide AI assistant for insights, predictions, and automation
Unified Admin — Centralised user management, security policies, single sign-on
Separate licence
Zoho FSM Standard — Equipment delivery & installation scheduling, dispatch, mobile app for field teams, service reporting (not included in Zoho One)
Component Per User/Month Monthly Total
Zoho One All Employee (10 users) €37 €370
Zoho FSM Standard (4 users) €25 €100
Annual Licensing €5,640 /year

€2,580/year more than Option A — but unlocks 40+ additional business applications for future growth.

Pricing sources (billed annually, USD): Zoho CRM Standard $14/user/month — zoho.com/crm/pricing · Zoho Books Standard $15/org/month — zoho.com/books/pricing · Zoho FSM Standard $25/user/month — zoho.com/fsm/pricing · Zoho One All Employee $37/user/month — zoho.com/one/pricing. EUR pricing shown at approximate parity; Zoho bills in USD.
