Overview
Zahara combines sophisticated approval workflows with intelligent invoice automation, giving finance teams the structure, visibility and control they need on top of Xero. It is the choice for many small to medium-sized businesses looking to control spend and automate their purchase invoice workflows.
All purchases can follow an agreed path, with budgets, projects and purchase order generation and sending all built-in. Multi-step approval workflows route both purchase orders and invoices to the right people automatically, based on value, department or project, so nothing stalls in an inbox and every decision is captured for audit.
Orders can be easily receipted on the mobile app, with invoices emailed into Zahara and automatically read and recognised. Our AI-powered invoice capture extracts the supplier, totals and line items for you, then performs 3-way line item matching against your orders and receipts, flagging duplicates before they slip through. Zahara is the closest thing to hands-free processing of supplier invoices you will find, together with all of the workflow capability to automatically export invoices into Xero once they are approved, fully coded and ready to pay.
Getting started is quick, with no complex setup and no chasing IT. Connect your accounts in a few clicks, and Zahara syncs your Xero data so everything lines up from day one. Suppliers, nominal codes, tracking categories and tax codes stay aligned between Zahara and Xero, so your finance data stays consistent without manual re-keying.
Our customers love the way we display an order/invoice balance, allowing master POs to be sent to the supplier with multiple invoices recorded against it. They also tell us our departmental and project budgets help control spend, especially for departments like IT or Marketing, and for project-centric businesses like events, construction and healthcare, to name just a few.
Zahara offers packages to suit growing teams through to complex, high-volume operations, with a bespoke tier for organisations that need Zahara shaped fully around their structure.
Zahara is only available in English and is used predominantly throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America.
