Zahara keeps your costs low
As an industry, construction is incredibly purchase-heavy. Your materials need to be on-site in the correct quantities, at the right time, and in the right place. The finance team have their work cut out for them though, with an unhelpful lag in the process between the buying and the visual of the committed spend in the job costs. Zahara helps you buy in real-time so finance and project managers are on-top of costs at all times, wherever they are.

How we help our Construction customers

Budget Slider Image

Budgets

Each job or project needs strict cost control as set out by the QA. Create spending budgets for each project and track spend in real-time so that purchasing never gets out of hand. You’ll be able to account for every purchase, and also have a complete audit trail and record of everything you request to buy. When buying is moved to purchase requisition, finance, project managers and directors have an instant visual of committed spend so everyone knows where they stand.

Finances

Set finance free so they can concentrate on the things that earn you money like improved margins and better cost controls. Zahara will remove manual entry of invoices so time is better spent on analysis You can move away from repetitive tasks, and instead focus on actually boosting profit.

Month end reporting
Are the approval workflows multi-step?
Yes. Multi-steps with multiple conditions, so out-of-the-box you can be up and running with little effort.
How accurate is the invoice processing?
Very accurate. All invoices are recognised centrally, which means none of our customers have to do any training.
My finance system isn't listed above?
Everything in Zahara can be imported as part of the initial setup using CSV files. Our main data hand-over from Zahara to your finance system are approved invoices. Can your finance system import a CSV or Excel file with invoice data? If the answer is yes, you can still enjoy Zahara to the full. If you'd prefer, Zahara can be used on its own without a finance system to control spend requests.
What exactly is Zahara controlling?
Spend. Costs. If every purchase request has to be approved, you can control what is being purchased and what suppliers you are using. You are then back in control as your business scales.
How easy is Zahara to use?
Zahara has all the features and settings that any modern finance team would want, without compromising on having a user-friendly interface. We wanted it to be accessible even for your colleagues who aren't in the finance department.
What do your customers say about Zahara?
They say "how did we manage without this!"
