Automated Invoice Processing

Zahara helps the finance team process vendor invoices faster. With nothing to install, you can be up and running quickly, automating the entire AP process doing away with paper forever.

Invoices can be emailed into Zahara, where they are processed and read automatically, including line-items. Invoices are then routed for approval - using pre-set rules to determine if a review is required, and matched against purchase orders or exported into your finance system.

With Zahara's AutoPilot we provide straight-through-processing with incredible recognition accuracy. It's all built right into Zahara for easy everyday use, so you can be up and running in minutes with no expensive up-front costs.

Enabling the mobile workforce

Your colleagues are no longer tethered to their desks as they WFH, on the road or on-site.

Zahara enables modern working practices. Our mobile app allows orders to be raised and receipted, and approvers can easily work through their tasks in one place. Colleagues can also record work expenses, adding receipts to each line request before submitting for approval.

Being cloud-based all users can access Zahara from any device with layered security built-in.

Purchase Order Approvals

Purchase Orders - or at least purchase requisition approvals - give you control and visibility over the organisational spend. Every purchase request - whether that's stock, general expenses or capital assets - can follow an agreed multi-step approval workflow. Typically, the more expensive the purchase, the more involved the sign-off.

Zahara allows you to create incredibly simple or incredibly sophisticated purchase approval workflows with multiple- conditions, straight out of the box. No expensive development and no time wasted on consultants. Within minutes you can have approval requests sat with your managers who can take action by email, web application or mobile app.

Pay vendors faster - Purchase to Pay

No purchase to pay solution would be complete without the assisted or automated paying of bills. Zahara has teamed with best of breed providers to enable faster paying of vendor invoices.

Our integration with Comma in the UK enables easier bill payments using your existing bank or a digital wallet which removes open banking restrictions like the quantity of bills that can be paid in one go or the value of any payment run. Final payments can be approved as well making the process more secure with less friction.
