Zahara Categories and Features
Purchasing Software
Zahara is an innovative platform designed for managing purchasing and purchase orders, enabling organizations to maintain financial oversight of expenditures prior to any monetary commitments. This solution caters to all teams, projects, and locations, allowing staff to quickly create purchase requests from pre-approved product catalogs, ensuring compliance on what can be acquired and from which sources. The requests undergo a structured multi-step approval process, offering real-time visibility into budgets, so decision-makers can assess the potential impact on both departmental and project finances before granting approval. Once an order is approved, it is sent directly to the supplier, and upon receipt of the goods, the deliveries are recorded within Zahara. This seamless process ensures that when an invoice is received, it is automatically reconciled with the corresponding order and receipt. The platform provides real-time tracking of committed and anticipated spending against general ledger codes, complete with a comprehensive audit trail for each request and its approval process. Zahara also features integrations with accounting software such as Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB. The implementation process is streamlined, typically taking just weeks, and comes with dedicated support from a UK-based team.
Procurement Software
Zahara serves as a streamlined procure-to-pay solution for organizations seeking to maintain procurement oversight without the burden of a complex enterprise system. With curated product catalogs, organizations can define what items can be purchased and identify approved suppliers, ensuring that spending is directed towards preferred vendors across various locations, teams, projects, and entities. Each purchase request adheres to uniform multi-step approval processes and real-time budget verifications, ensuring that policies are uniformly enforced regardless of buyer distribution. Purchase orders are sent directly to suppliers, while invoices are effortlessly matched to the corresponding order and delivery receipt before they receive approval and payment. Committed expenditures are monitored in real-time against general ledger codes, and a comprehensive audit trail is maintained for all requests, approvals, invoices, and payments. Zahara seamlessly connects with accounting software, including Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB. The implementation process is guided and efficient, typically taking weeks instead of months, complemented by dedicated support based in the UK.
Billing and Invoicing Software
Zahara streamlines the invoicing process for businesses by focusing on managing supplier invoices rather than generating bills for customers. This innovative solution enables finance teams to efficiently capture, verify, approve, and process incoming invoices without the need for manual data entry. Suppliers can easily send their invoices directly to Zahara's Invoice Inbox, where advanced AI technology recognizes the supplier, extracts line-item information, and aligns each invoice with its corresponding purchase order and delivery receipt. The approval process is tailored to different criteria such as site, department, project, or entity, allowing for seamless integration into payment cycles, including multi-currency transactions via Currencies Direct. Throughout the process, budget implications are clearly displayed, and every invoice comes with a comprehensive audit trail. Zahara also offers direct integrations with accounting software like Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB, ensuring that invoice data is automatically synced without the risk of duplicate entries. The implementation process is designed to be quick, taking only weeks instead of months, with dedicated support available from a UK-based team.
Accounts Payable Software
Zahara streamlines the accounts payable process, covering everything from purchase orders to supplier payments. This innovative solution enables accounts payable teams to handle a greater volume of invoices with reduced manual tasks, such as chasing and data re-entry. When suppliers send invoices via email, they are directed to Zahara's Invoice Inbox, where advanced AI technology recognizes the supplier, extracts itemized data, and performs a three-way match with the purchase order and delivery receipt. Once matched, invoices are sent through an approval process that can be customized based on site, department, project, or entity, before proceeding to payment runs that accommodate multi-currency transactions through Currencies Direct. As spending is authorized during the purchase order phase, incoming invoices are predictable, resulting in fewer inquiries and discrepancies. Each stage of the process is documented with a comprehensive audit trail, and seamless integrations with accounting software like Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB eliminate the need for redundant data entry. The implementation process is guided and typically takes only weeks, complemented by support based in the UK.
