ISP Business Management with Zoho One
A comprehensive Zoho One implementation to automate lead-to-order processes, feasibility checks, vendor & finance approvals, delivery tracking and recurring billing for an ISP operating across multiple locations.
About the Organization
The client is an Internet Service Provider delivering broadband and connectivity services across multiple locations. They handle sales, feasibility checks, vendor coordination, delivery, implementation, and recurring billing for a diverse customer base.
Operations spanned regional feasibility teams, vendor onboarding, finance approvals, and a manual billing cycle that caused delays and errors prior to our engagement.
Project Background
The client experienced fragmented and manual processes across sales, operations and finance — leading to delays in feasibility, vendor selection, payment processing and recurring billing. Lack of an automated approval hierarchy and address/PO validation caused billing discrepancies.
Business Objectives
- Automate the complete Lead-to-Order process
- Streamline L1 and L2 feasibility workflows
- Implement structured vendor selection & approval
- Automate PO, Bill and Vendor Payment management
- Improve delivery and implementation tracking
- Enable recurring billing with validation controls
- Reduce manual errors and approval delays
- Gain real-time visibility into operations and finance
Key Challenges
- Unstructured feasibility and vendor coordination processes
- Manual tracking of payment renewals and vendor bills
- Disconnected sales, operations, and finance workflows
- Billing errors due to missing PO or address mapping
- Lack of automated approval hierarchy
- Difficulty monitoring delivery and implementation stages
