Renttix + Zoho Books Integration
Connect Zoho Books once and let hire invoicing post itself — customers and suppliers synchronised, invoices raised, and settled invoices reconciled without re-keying.
Customers, suppliers and hire invoices kept in step with Zoho Books.

How it connects
You authorise Renttix against your Zoho organisation through Zoho's OAuth flow. The resulting tokens are stored encrypted with AES-256-CBC rather than in plain text, and refreshed automatically as they age, so the connection keeps working without anyone maintaining it.
Once connected, customer records synchronise across so you are not maintaining two contact lists, and supplier records can be kept aligned on the purchase side too. Hire invoices raised in Renttix reach Zoho Books, and when an invoice is marked paid in Renttix the matching document is settled in Zoho.

Why it matters
Zoho Books tends to be chosen by businesses that value having one connected suite rather than a collection of unrelated tools. An operational system that refuses to talk to it undermines the entire reason for that choice, and leaves someone exporting spreadsheets to bridge the gap.
Hire is a poor fit for spreadsheet bridging. Invoice volume is high, the same customer is billed repeatedly across a running contract, and adjustments happen mid-cycle. A weekly export is out of date by the time it is imported. A live connection means the books show what the yard actually did.
Key workflows
Invoices and settlement
Hire invoices reach Zoho Books, and marking one paid in Renttix settles the matching document in Zoho — so your receivables ledger clears without a manual reconciliation pass.
Customers and suppliers
Customer records synchronise so a new hire account does not have to be created twice, and supplier records can be kept aligned so the purchase ledger matches too.
Tokens stored encrypted
OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-CBC and refreshed automatically, so the connection maintains itself without leaving credentials readable in the database.
Zoho Books is one of seven accounting connections in Renttix, alongside Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, ABSS and Tally. Renttix stays the record of hire operations; your accounting system stays the book of account.

How are the credentials protected?
Renttix connects through Zoho's OAuth flow and stores the resulting tokens encrypted with AES-256-CBC, not in plain text. Tokens refresh automatically, so there is nothing to rotate by hand in normal operation.
Does it cover suppliers as well as customers?
Yes. Customer records synchronise to Zoho Books, and supplier records can be kept aligned as well, so both sides of the ledger reflect the same contacts.
What happens when an invoice is paid?
Marking a hire invoice paid in Renttix settles the corresponding document in Zoho Books, so the receivables position stays accurate without anyone reconciling the two systems.
