Cloudcamper
 provides cloud computing solutions and online software to small and medium business as well as to divisions within larger enterprises. The company is a reseller for both Zoho and Google Apps. Cloudcamper has its main office in Oostende, Belgium as well as five remote offices, each staffed by one of the company’s five partners.


The distributed nature of Cloudcamper skill sets, mirrors the distributed nature of the company’s work force. However, when a client needs a cloud solution that requires the talents of several Cloudcamper partners, the company has to act as a single, unified organization.

To that end, the company needed a way to coordinate the activities of its partners and its contract developers working on any given client project.…


Receive Partial Payments Online

Peep into your Zoho Invoice or Zoho Books account and you’ll spot our
brand new addition, “Online Partial Payments”. Earlier, we had the option
to record partial payments manually for invoices, we’ve extended that further to
online payments as well.

Most often in businesses, by mutual
consent from both the seller and the buyer, the payment is accepted in
installments. If your business works this way, then you have some real
good news here. To keep up with your customers’ installment payments could be
rather difficult. With the introduction of partial payments, this issue would never resurface again.

Send an invoice out to the
customer, choose the option to let the customer make partial payments
for that invoice.…


Just Launched: Zoho BugTracker (with GitHub Integration!)

About a year ago we added bug tracking functionality to Zoho Projects to help software teams easily submit, track and fix bugs. 

Fast forward to now, and we’re pretty happy with the uptake it has gotten among customers. Many people have tried it, used it and purchased it. Many people also shared with us their feedback and how we could better tailor it to meet their needs. We were frequently asked to have bug tracking as a separate, stand-alone product, decoupled from the rest of Zoho Projects – and to make it even more affordable.

So we took those requests to heart and today we’re launching Zoho BugTracker, a standalone product that helps teams fix bugs fast.
Zoho BugTracker has all of the now-familiar features.…

Zoho Recruit features Custom View and Bulk Update

At Zoho Recruit, over the last few weeks we’ve been working on two new features – Custom View and Bulk Update. Today we are happy to announce the availability of both these features.

Custom View

Zoho Recruit’s Custom View helps you to filter data with multiple criteria and save it for future reference. For instance, lets assume these two scenarios that you often get requirements from your clients/department heads:

1. Candidates who are located in Newyork with 5 years of experience with Java
2. Candidates Age (no:of:days since the candidate is created/updated in Zoho Recruit)

In such cases, instead of keying in the details everytime into the Advanced search, you can quickly create a custom view by specifying these criteria, which will list all the related candidates.


Accounting for Bad Debts

In any business, customer is king. When an invoice
is sent out to our customers, we always predict that the customer is
going to pay us back. There are times when we know that the payment
isn’t going to come through, like when the customer goes out of
business or has a rough patch.
It is a good practice to write off the amount due, when it is unlikely that customer is going to pay us back. Hence, we included ”Write Off” to Zoho Books and Zoho Invoice recently. 

The
process behind writing off an invoice is simple. Let’s see how this
works with an example. Consider that Mark, your customer has an
outstanding balance of $500 from a single invoice. Mark has gone out of
business and he’s told you he wouldn’t be able to pay up.

The Challenge

Announcing Zoho Docs – Google Chromebook integration

When Google launched the Cr-48 Chrome notebooks, they invited Zoho to be a part of its pilot program. We even

gave away
 Cr-48 notebooks to some of you. We do hope that you have been putting your Cr-48s to good use and have been getting the most out of cloud computing :)

Today, the first commercial Chromebooks have started shipping in the U.S. Those of you who missed out on the pilot program can get your own Chromebook now.

Here’s how Zoho is a part of this launch. If you had followed the Day 2 Keynote at

Google I/O
 you might have noticed that Google’s Chrome operating system now includes some major updates and newer features. The most notable among them is the addition of a file manager. The file manager is a very simple one and looks a lot like the file manager systems in Windows or Mac.…
