Where SORS ERP differs

SORS ERP is built for Bangladesh: Mushak 6.3 generated from the sale, the 6.1 register and return summaries, and BDT-first accounting; Zoho Books has no Bangladesh edition or Mushak forms.
SSLCommerz online payments and bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay as payment methods are built in; Zoho Books lists Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and similar gateways with no Bangladeshi option.
16 SMS gateways including Grameenphone, Robi and Banglalink with Bangla Unicode, WhatsApp templates and the Steadfast courier API with COD reconciliation connect to how Bangladeshi customers actually buy.
A full POS with Z-reports, HR and payroll with income tax slabs, ZKTeco attendance, RMA and warranty and a headless e-commerce backend go well beyond accounting.
Quoted for the whole business in BDT, with on-premise deployment possible; Zoho is cloud only and priced per organisation in USD.
Support in Bangla from the vendor and customisation of modules on request.
