Hi there!

First up, the latest version of Zoho Bookings is live! With an intuitive interface, smarter team management, and an enhanced scheduling experience, Zoho Bookings 2.0 simplifies and optimises scheduling for your business and customers.

While the next news isn't a new launch, we're thrilled to share something we're particularly proud of—Zoho Schools of Learning is celebrating 20 years of bridging the gap between academia and industry. Established to identify and nurture talent, especially from underserved, rural backgrounds, it now accounts for 15% of Zoho’s total workforce! Here's to another decade of breaking norms and learning outside the traditional system.

It's also worth noting that our new upgrades, like automations, add-ons, and AI features, are all ready for you to test—just keep reading to learn how to use them for your business!

Evolving with AI

"AI agents will become increasingly adept at understanding nuanced contexts and enabling adaptive and personalised interactions."

In a recent article, our Director of AI Research, Ramprakash Ramamoorthy, said that modular AI, edge intelligence, and self-learning agents will change the business game completely.

And Zoho is already on top of it!

Zoho Desk has introduced fresh features to streamline customer interactions. From AI-driven conversations to powerful customisations and accessibility upgrades, we’ve reimagined every touchpoint to help your customer service stand out. Plus, the smart AI-based chatbot in Zoho Sign can now answer all your questions about the app, its features, and integrations!

Improved communication

Zoho Writer has introduced captions, cross-references, and a table of tables, adding more contextual clarity and simplifying document navigation for readers.

Your PDFs are safer with Zoho PDF Editor, as users can now organise, edit, and secure their PDFs using watermarks, wet signatures, and password-protection.

Improve your presentation skills with the Zoho Survey add-on in Zoho Show. Users can now provide charts to clarify insights, boost credibility, and help your audience grasp trends, all without switching between apps.

Accuracy through automation

We're bridging the gap between digital support and physical presence with the new geolocation feature in Zoho Lens. Geolocation increases accuracy and reliability while optimising operations through enhanced location verification.

Forget logging mileage manually—Zoho Expense has brought automatic mileage tracking to its mobile app! Log your rides automatically, track mileage during work hours, and exclude personal trips with just a swipe.

Inventory management has become a whole lot easier with Assemblies and Kits in Zoho Inventory. Users can now create Assemblies and Kits to bring more accuracy to managing composite items, aligning more closely with how businesses work in the real world.

Control over data

Worried about rigid scheduling? Zoho FSM now supports overlapping appointments, where users can keep service schedules flexible, prioritise urgent jobs, and get clear visibility on overlaps, all while maintaining control over their calendar.

That's all the updates we've got for the month, but stay tuned for all the latest news in our ecosystem! Have questions or something specific to discuss? Let us know—we value your time and feedback.

Until next time,
