Zoho, better known for its CRM applications, has added an administrative panel to its applications with the launch of its suite, Zoho Financials Plus. The cloud suite, whose elements utilize a common database, is designed for use by individual free-lancers and for companies with about 200 employees.

The company says also the introduction of the console makes it easier to deploy users and manage licensing.

Zoho pictures that suite as providing "Big data in a small app", according to president Raj Sabhlok. Sabhlok also termed finance applications the "company's second fastest-growing business." Zoho also calls its products the "Operating System for Business".

None of the modules in the suite are new. Depending on the module, they have been on the market from one to five years. The company does anticipated launching Zoho Checkout in a few weeks. Business can also choose to use QuickBooks Online instead of the Zoho Books accounting application.

The console enables businesses to grant roles and privileges to users. The system also enables them to connect with online market places, Sabhlok says.

Besides the accounting application, the suite includes Zoho Invoice, Expense, Subscriptions and Inventory. The suite is priced at $99 per month. 

Zoho offers a partner program, which was introduced less than a year ago and now has about 1,000 members. Members get discounted seats for clients.
