Common questions

Can Automety migrate my existing Zoho data?

Yes. During onboarding we map your existing data — from Zoho CRM, spreadsheets, or other tools — and migrate it into your new system. The process typically takes 1–2 days and your team sees no downtime.

Is Zoho One really cheaper than Automety?

Zoho One starts around ₹2,800/mo per user, but most SMBs need 5–15 seats and a dedicated admin (₹30-50k/mo) to configure and maintain it. Automety's all-inclusive plans start at ₹9,999/mo — with zero admin overhead.

What if I already use some Zoho apps?

No problem. We can integrate with specific Zoho apps you want to keep (like Zoho Books or Zoho Mail) while building a cleaner operational layer on top. We'll advise the best hybrid approach during your free audit.

How long does setup take?

Most clients are fully live within 10–14 days of the discovery call. Zoho One implementations, even with a consultant, typically run 3–6 months for comparable functionality.

Does Automety work for businesses outside major cities?

Absolutely—we're deliberately remote-first. Setup runs over WhatsApp, video, email, whichever mirrors your approvals culture. Messaging automations honour the languages your reps sell in, while finance plugs into the gateways and ledger habits you already defend.
