Experience & Unification
The core goal is to make the 50+ applications within Zoho One behave like a single unified application where the context of work is paramount.
One Interface, One Way of Working
Everything is organized the way you actually work, with Personal Space for your stuff, Organization Space for team collaboration, and dedicated spaces for different departments like Sales and Finance.
Dashboard Everything with Boards
Create custom dashboards that bring together data from all your apps in one place. It's like having a command center that shows you exactly what you need, when you need it.
Use Your Favorite Tools Seamlessly
Connect your favorite third-party apps using a single login. They'll work just like native Zoho apps—no clunky integrations or workarounds needed.
Foundational Integrations
The update includes significant structural work to simplify cross-application workflows and eliminate integration friction.
One Login, All Your Tools
Stop juggling multiple logins and portals. All your Zoho apps—CRM, Finance, Commerce, and more—plus any third-party tools work under one unified portal with a single username and password.
Automate the Tedious Stuff
Tasks like hiring and offboarding employees used to require touching a dozen different systems. Now, simple wizards handle everything automatically—deprovisioning accounts, forwarding mail, managing files, reassigning teams—all in one place.
Email Verification, Simplified
Managing SPF and DKIM records across all your apps used to be a headache. Now you can handle all email verification in one spot, saving time and reducing errors.
Intelligence (AI)
The platform fully embeds Zoho Zia, their AI system, taking advantage of the unified data layer.
Ask Your AI Anything Across All Apps
Zia understands all 50 Zoho apps and can answer complex questions by pulling data from multiple systems at once. Want to know "How much time did our employees spend with this account?" Zia digs through HR, CRM, and ticketing data to give you the answer instantly.
Get Smarter Suggestions
Zia lives in your toolbar and offers helpful guidance when you need it. Planning an Instagram campaign? Ask Zia what tools you have available. It learns what you're trying to do and points you in the right direction.
Keep Your Data Under Your Control
Bring your own encryption keys and decide exactly which apps use which keys. You stay in complete control of your data security and compliance.
Why This Matters
Most business software makes you jump around from app to app. Zoho One is different. It uses AI to understand what you're trying to do and suggests the right tool at the right moment. The AI is built into everything, so you don't need expensive IT projects like you'd need with Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or Amazon Quick Suite.
If you're a CIO or CTO, here's what you get: a way to modernize how your team works without ripping everything out and rebuilding from scratch. You can test it, prove the value, and scale it up—all without the massive infrastructure overhaul your competitors are struggling with.
