The best alternatives to Zoho Inventory
Zoho Inventory’s recent price hikes and its reliance on US-based data processing are pushing many EU teams to look elsewhere. If you’re tracking stock across multiple warehouses or selling on Amazon and Shopify, the switch to a European tool can mean lower latency, clearer GDPR compliance, and contracts that don’t require a US DPA. Below are four alternatives that keep your inventory data within the EU and offer native integrations for the platforms you already use.
European alternatives
Frequently asked questions
Why switch from Zoho Inventory to a European alternative?
Zoho Inventory processes data on US servers, which means EU teams need a US DPA and face higher latency for real-time stock updates. European alternatives keep data within the EU, often at a lower cost and with contracts that already meet GDPR requirements.
How do I migrate my inventory data from Zoho Inventory?
Most European tools offer CSV import templates that match Zoho Inventory’s export format. Xentral and weclapp also provide guided onboarding or paid migration services to help transfer stock levels, product catalogs, and order history without manual re-entry.
Are European inventory tools more expensive than Zoho Inventory?
Not necessarily. While Zoho Inventory’s entry plan is low-cost, its per-user pricing scales quickly. European tools like Xentral and weclapp often have a cheaper mid-tier for small teams and include features like multi-warehouse support or native Shopify integration that Zoho charges extra for.
Which European alternative is best for Shopify or Amazon sellers?
Xentral and Plentymarkets both offer native Shopify and Amazon integrations that sync inventory in real time. Plentymarkets is built specifically for e-commerce and includes a built-in marketplace connector, while Xentral covers broader ERP needs alongside inventory.
Do these tools support multi-warehouse inventory tracking?
Yes. All four alternatives in our directory support multiple warehouses, including batch and serial number tracking. Xentral and weclapp also allow you to set reorder points and automate purchase orders for each location separately.
