What is Zoho Vani?
Zoho Vani is a visual planning and business process mapping tool. It gives you a shared canvas to build and collaborate on anything from sales processes to app wireframes.
Whether you’re laying out how a lead moves through CRM or sketching an idea for a website layout, Vani lets you visualize ideas before building them.

Key Features of Zoho Vani
- Spaces & Zones
Create a “Space” for a project, and use “Zones” to organize different stages, ideas, or drafts. - Visual Kits for Different Uses
Choose from kits like: - Business Process Diagrams
- Wireframes for web design
- Network Diagrams
- Drag-and-Drop Canvas
Add sticky notes, arrows, shapes, tables, and connectors — all the building blocks for visual collaboration. - Reactions & Tagging
Leave emoji reactions or tag teammates directly on the canvas for feedback or follow-up. - Built-in Meeting Tools
Host meetings directly inside Vani, with video, screen sharing, and call recording — and link the meeting right on the board.
Use Cases for Small Teams
Here are some real ways we’ve used Vani at TechnoMap and with clients:
- Mapping out a CRM Blueprint before we build it
- Drafting a project implementation timeline with multiple contributors
- Sketching out a Zoho Creator app structure
- Building quick website wireframes to visualize customer journeys
- Brainstorming marketing campaigns across multiple channels
It’s perfect for teams who prefer visual planning over long documents.
What Zoho Vani Is Not
Zoho Vani is not where you build the actual system — it’s where you plan what the system should do. You won’t publish a live site from here or build a CRM workflow directly in Vani, but it’s a fantastic first step for planning.
Zoho Integrations
Currently, Vani supports:
- Zoho WorkDrive: add files from shared storage
- Zoho Writer, Sheet, and Show: embed content directly into your canvas
More integrations are in development, and we expect to see deeper connections with CRM and Projects soon.
Who Should Use Zoho Vani?
- Process-driven teams mapping out CRM, support, or fulfillment flows
- Consultants or project managers planning implementation timelines
- Designers or marketers who need quick visual feedback
- Anyone in a Zoho One environment who wants a flexible collaboration space
Vani is a great addition to your toolkit if you prefer thinking visually or need to present ideas clearly to others.
Pricing
- Free Plan: Get started at no cost
- Paid Plan: $4/user/month for added features and storage
Bottom Line
Zoho Vani gives you a flexible visual space to plan, collaborate, and get aligned before you build. Whether you’re diagramming a workflow or sketching a homepage, it helps make your business ideas clear and actionable.
At TechnoMap, we use Vani to map out everything from CRM blueprints to onboarding processes — and it’s made our planning more collaborative and more effective.
