Zahara helps match invoices, approvals, and purchase records, reducing duplicate payments, incorrect coding, and time spent resolving issues.
Sports teams and venues manage spending across events, departments, and suppliers, often with approvals handled by different people.
This creates delays, limited visibility over event and operational costs, and a higher risk of errors such as duplicate or incorrect payments. Finance teams spend too much time chasing approvals instead of maintaining control over spend.
Sports teams and venues handle invoices from catering, security, maintenance, and suppliers for every event. Without structure, invoices build up quickly.
Spending is controlled by operations, marketing, facilities, and other teams. This creates slow approval cycles and more chasing for finance.
Costs are spread across events, venues, and departments, making it difficult to track budgets and committed costs in real time.
Manual processes increase the risk of duplicate invoices, incorrect coding, and missed discrepancies across busy venue operations.
Every purchase follows a clear process. Teams create purchase requests, approvals are routed automatically and invoices are captured using AI with no manual data entry.
