Bath & Harlequins Rugby Control Costs With Zahara
Two premiership Rugby teams use Zahara to control their costs and boost efficiency in their finance teams. Just like any other sports clubs, they have ongoing costs like marketing, or the logistics of taking their players on the road every other weekend, or ring-fenced spends like construction and refurbishments. Zahara makes sure they never go above their spending limits with Budget functionality and approvals. Zahara also gives the advantage of liberating finance from manual tasks so more time can be spent on financial strategy, needed for the future of these clubs.

How we help our Sports Teams customers

Budget Slider Image

Budgets

Each sports team has natural cost centres like marketing, maintenance, their players, F&B. Zahara lets you create monthly budgets to track spend and more importantly stop overspending in its tracks. The combination of budgets and approvals mean that no spend is unaccounted for.

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.

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!"
