TOTA360
TOTA360 is a Zoho Creator–native business management suite from FlowsEasy, built around three connected applications — Core, Hire, and Manufacturing — that share a common Transaction/Transaction Line schema and master data (Items, Customers, Suppliers, Contacts, Warehouses, Currencies, GL Accounts, Taxes).
TOTA360 Core is the foundation app and schema master. It handles the full purchase-to-pay and order-to-cash cycle — Purchase Orders through Receive, Inspect, and Putaway on the inbound side, and Quote through Sales Order, Pack, Ship, Deliver, and Invoice on the outbound side — plus Stock Adjustments, Stock Transfers, and Customer/Supplier Returns. Every transaction is FIFO-costed, multi-warehouse aware, and supports Batch or Serial Number traceability. Core also integrates with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and Zoho WorkDrive.
TOTA360 Hire manages the rental/hire lifecycle of fleet assets on the same underlying schema, but replaces Core's FIFO stock model with fleet-specific mechanics: tracking assets by physical location and status (warehouse, on-hire, in transit, in repair, disposed). It covers Quote-to-Hire Order, contract signing, delivery (pack/ship/deliver), collection and return, swaps, asset transfers, and recurring invoicing.
TOTA360 Manufacturing is a standalone production management app that connects to Core via API for stock control and costing. Its capabilities include multi-level, versioned Bills of Materials; Manufacturing Orders that cascade into Works Orders per assembly level; a backward scheduling engine with At Risk detection; real-time operation execution (start/pause/finish) with time tracking and QC; per-operation cost recovery posted automatically to Zoho Books; Movement Tasks for WIP transfers; subcontract PO auto-generation; a Work Centre Capacity Heat Map; and built-in reports on cost variance, scrap rate, and rework rate.
Together, the suite targets small-to-mid-size businesses operating within the Zoho ecosystem that need integrated stock, sales/purchasing, rental, and production management without third-party middleware.
Want me to tailor this toward a specific audience — e.g., a sales one-pager, a prospect-facing pitch, or something more technical for an implementation team?
