Process design and Zoho for D2C, retail and ecommerce

Quick answer

For D2C, retail and ecommerce brands, NeX designs the processes that growth breaks first: marketplace and payment-gateway settlements, returns and refunds, cash-on-delivery reconciliation, multi-channel inventory and a fast month-end close. We implement them on Zoho Books with Inventory or Zoho ERP, with controls investors and acquirers expect.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't our marketplace payouts match our sales?
Payouts net off commissions, fees, returns, penalties and taxes, and arrive on a different schedule from the sale. We design a settlement reconciliation that matches each payout back to orders, fees and returns.
Have you worked with D2C brands?
Yes. ProLead supported a fast-growing D2C health and wellness brand for 15 months across finance operations, internal controls, ERP implementation and tax advisory, before a landmark acquisition. See the case study.
