As a QuickBooks Online user you can add automation and control to your buying. Your teams can raise purchase requests that, once approved, convert to Purchase Orders and get sent onto suppliers. You can receipt the delivery, record the invoice easily and match against the order. Any exceptions can also be sent out for approval. Then the supplier’s invoice can be pushed over to QuickBooks Online automatically where you can pay it in the usual way. Every step of the way there are controls and thought to make the buying process more secure with increased visibility.
Zahara is perfect for controlling indirect costs. Zahara’s purpose isn’t stock control, it is for controlling the buying process. All serviced and even stock based organisations can benefit from Zahara. We have spent years understanding and creating functions to streamline the buying and accounts payables process. As a QuickBooks Online user, you will find Zahara easy to integrate and sync with QuickBooks Online.
