The Challenge of Adopting New Technology in Traditional Industries
Change is hard, especially in industries like construction and education, where processes have been built over years, sometimes decades. Whether it’s approvals on a job site or processing invoices in a school trust, people tend to stick with what they know—and that’s understandable.
Why Employee Adoption of Software Often Fails
One of the toughest challenges businesses face when introducing new systems is employee adoption. Even the most powerful software won’t succeed if it’s slow, clunky, or confusing. Employees will find workarounds, revert to old habits, or abandon the software entirely. This leads to lost time, wasted investment, and stalled progress.
Introducing Zahara: Designed for End-Users
This challenge inspired the creation of Zahara. Real change requires software that isn’t merely functional—it must also be intuitive, visually appealing, and easy to use. Zahara was developed with end-users in mind, not just finance or IT departments.
Intuitive Interface for Mobile and Desktop Users
Whether you’re a site supervisor raising a purchase order from your mobile phone or a school administrator managing invoice processing, Zahara ensures the process is simple, quick, and frustration-free.
Overcoming Resistance to Change
If your teams hesitate to adopt new software, it’s typically because they’ve experienced poorly designed tools in the past. Provide software they actually enjoy using, and you’ll see rapid adoption and meaningful progress.
