About Gofrugal solution
Gofrugal, a division of Zoho Corp offers a comprehensive ERP / POS solution designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes, from small independent stores to large enterprises. One of the flagship solutions in our product portfolio is our Head Quarters (HQ) solution suitable for small regional chain, large enterprise, and franchises.
The HQ solution has a hybrid architecture that allows businesses to manage master data, enforce user access controls, track business performance, and make decisions from anywhere with cloud-based centralized control. The front office operations such as billing, purchases, and payments can be handled offline with the on-premise system at outlets which are synced in real-time to the HQ solution.
The ecosystem extends further through mobile applications that enable owners and managers to manage operations on the move, and integrations to third-party platforms such as ecommerce marketplaces, ERP systems, and more to scale business further.
Business challenges
The major challenge for chain businesses is a higher capital investment on cloud infrastructure in addition to the product license. This stops them from centralizing and automating operations, choosing to run their outlets and operations in silos leading to inefficiencies.
Even if businesses implement cloud infrastructure, they need to deploy dedicated staff to monitor the cloud infrastructure’s performance, monitor data growth, coordinate with vendors for support incidents, and ensure uninterrupted services.
Adopting scalable, affordable, and secure cloud infrastructure is the only solution to overcome these challenges and ensure hassle-free operations.
The one stop solution
Though Gofrugal has multiple options for cloud infrastructure vendors, there is a constant request from customers to have one touchpoint to manage their software needs. Hence, Gofrugal partnered with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to help customers host their business data from HQ solution on the cloud.
Gofrugal’s hybrid architecture coupled with Oracle’s scalable cloud infrastructure enables chain businesses to run their operations efficiently. Today, around 70% of the customers’ HQ data is hosted in OCI owing to good performance at minimal capital investment.

Benefits of the OCI and Gofrugal partnership
Gofrugal’s strategic partnership with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a differentiated advantage to customers.
Lower operational expenditure: Our customers get cloud infrastructure at exclusive and attractive pricing, saving significantly on operational expenditure.
Timely subscription reminders: Our dedicated account managers remind customers about cloud subscription renewal, ensuring seamless cloud services while users with their own cloud infrastructure must manually track reminders and make renewals.
Single vendor for all needs: With Gofrugal’s bundled product and infrastructure offering, businesses no longer need to coordinate between multiple vendors for cloud, product, and support-related needs.
By combining Gofrugal’s comprehensive and robust ERP solution with an easily-scalable and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure, businesses experience a unified and future-ready digital foundation. This collaboration has not only empowered Tier-1 but also Tier-3 and Tier-4 businesses to access world-class infrastructure at an affordable cost, helping them grow and realize their business aspirations.
With Gofrugal and OCI working together, businesses of all sizes can confidently accelerate their digital transformation journey, optimize operational performance, and focus on what matters most—sustainable business growth.
