Is Zahara a great fit for you?

Zahara is a hugely customisable finance tool available to care businesses with minimum effort to be up and running quickly. We appreciate Zahara isn't for everyone though. We are well suited to care companies who experience these commonalities:

Multiple homes - lots of buying from remote locations
Centralised accounts office - More than one person in accounts
Process more than 500 supplier invoices per month
Paperwork everywhere, literally can't see the woods for the trees
Use Sage 50 (UK), Xero, QuickBooks Online or Sage 200
Regional managers / directors who are always on the move
Frustration with limitations of current accounts system - e.g Sage 50
Real desire to manage spend and control costs better

Real-time visibility and transparency of departmenal costs

It can be a challenge to keep costs under control over multiple sites, particularly when lots of people are authorised to make purchases in each of your remote locations.
Zahara simplifies this process, by providing greater visibility over expenditure, and putting checks and controls in place to control budgets.Your managers can approve spend with regional or head office management approving more expensive or capex items. You can use Budgets to set pre-agreed spend for consumables, entertainment and anything
else that makes sense. Over-budget spend can trigger an approval process.

With real-time access to management and financial information, you can make better, more astute business decisions, ensure quality control of services, and keep a close eye on the bottom line.
Zahara is simple to setup and use, and will give you peace of mind that all your homes, no matter where they are located, are running as profitably as can be.Our advanced invoice processing software allows every-day simple invoices to be scanned or loaded from email, recognised and then automatically routed for approval or straight into the purchase ledger.
We integrate with Sage 50 as well which we know many care providers use. Finance and admin staff can then dedicated more time to analysis, time-sheets and disputes.
