Zoho Inventory
E-commerce and multichannel businesses with advanced fulfilment and shipping needs.
Short answer
Zoho orchestrates orders. Gestio runs the counter.
Choose Gestio when the main problem happens at the counter with credit customers, sellers and local documents. Choose Zoho Inventory when orders arrive from several channels, shipping carriers matter and international integrations sit at the centre of the business.
For that scenario, explore a Moroccan alternative for inventory management that keeps checkout, receivables and staff in the same workflow.

What really changes
Three differences you will notice every day
Physical counter or multichannel orders
Gestio optimizes the seller's actions in front of a customer: scan, choose unit or case, collect, print and update credit. Zoho Inventory optimizes an order's journey from sales channel through stock, packing and shipping.
Local context or international ecosystem
Gestio builds in French, Arabic, dirhams, cheques and WhatsApp onboarding. Zoho offers a much wider integration ecosystem spanning its own apps, marketplaces, carriers and international accounting tools.
Simple pricing or capacity tiers
Gestio mainly charges by account and does not meter order volume. Zoho tiers monthly orders, users, locations and advanced capacity, with paid add-ons.

Gestio
Choose Gestio if…
- Most sales happen in a shop, warehouse or at the customer's site.
- Cases and units, receivables, cheques and customer balances are priorities.
- Sellers need a simple French/Arabic phone app.
- You want dirham pricing and local onboarding.
Zoho Inventory
Choose Zoho Inventory if…
- You sell through Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy or several channels.
- Picking, parcels, shipment tracking, lots or serials are central.
- You already use Zoho Books, Zoho CRM or other Zoho products.

Migration
Move from Zoho Inventory to refocus on physical commerce
A company reducing channels or refocusing on physical trade can transfer its catalogue and customers. Zoho shipping history and automations do not map directly into Gestio.

Frequently asked questions
Before you choose
Does Gestio integrate with Shopify or WooCommerce?
Those integrations are not part of the Gestio product currently presented. If they are essential, Zoho Inventory is the more natural choice between these two.
Is Zoho Inventory better for warehouses?
Zoho publishes deeper capabilities for bins, lots, serials, picking, packing and shipping. Gestio covers warehouses, transfers and stocktakes for a shop with a simpler model.
Why choose Gestio if Zoho has a free plan?
Zoho's free plan can be useful at low volume. Gestio's case rests on local sales flow, receivables, Arabic, dirham pricing and assisted onboarding.
