What is Zoho One

Well Zoho One does the same but it goes even further, including applications to manage all aspects of your business, from sales to project management, HR to accounting and even more. In fact the suite of 40+ tools is so diverse that it can feel overwhelming at first, but luckily we’re hear to help you.
Highlights
One of the key features of Zoho One is it’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool, which allows a business to keep track of its clients and sales. This is something every business should invest in and Zoho do it exceptionally well. Another standout features is its digital document signing which can rival the likes of DocuSign and among other things a digital marketing application similar to Mailchip.
For all this and more you only pay €35 per user, per month! This is great value if you consider that signing individually for Hubspot, Docusign and Mailchip (on their lowest cost packages) would cost around €66 per month and that’s without considering all the other Zoho applications!
