Zoho One - The Operating System For Business


For the last 2 decades, Zoho has made the experience of managing and building customer relationships super-simple for many businesses the world over. Zoho is arguably one of the most successful business software solutions companies internationally with over 24 years of experience in business software development. Zoho began with its Zoho CRM platform in 2005 and has expanded to all different departments of business and enterprise.


In 2017, The Zoho Corporation launched its most innovative product yet to the SAAS marketplace – Zoho One – ''One Operating System For Your Entire Business'' at a very affordable per-user price. Zoho One is a broad and cohesive set of applications that work collectively to run an entire business on the cloud. It includes more than 45 web applications and an equal number of mobile apps under a single sign-on, with centralised administration and provisioning making it a true operating system for any business. While each application punches above its weight against the competition, collectively they deliver a knockout punch. 


One question that many of our Zoho customers ask us, is ''What is the difference between having different Zoho app licences vs a Zoho One licence?'' Here we take a look at the key differences:

What a Zoho One licence costs versus what you get for Zoho One pricing:

Zoho One costs R450 per user per month
Zoho One is a complete bundle of deployment services from Zoho

What is the main advantage to investing in a Zoho One licence?

Zoho One is really competitively priced because you're not paying for every single app on its own which would only be compounded as you add on additional apps. Instead, with a Zoho One licence, you're paying for a bundle or package of applications so ultimately if you sign up for just one Zoho app, you only get access to that app whereas for an unbelievable price of R450, Zoho One gives you access to the enterprise edition of every single app and what's more, the apps all integrate seamlessly with one another.

With Zoho One, Zoho has put together all the applications a company needs to acquire and serve its customers (marketing, sales and support apps); run its operations (finance, recruiting, and HR apps); and provide all the tools for its employees to work collaboratively and get their work done (office suite, mail, personal productivity, and collaboration apps). With one of Zoho's newest features, Canvas, you get access to a drag-and-drop builder to build a custom CRM interface for your unique business needs.
