Zahara revolutionizes the accounts payable process from start to finish, initiating earlier than typical automation solutions at the point of purchase intent. It streamlines the approval of purchase requests against real-time budgets, converting them into purchase orders, ensuring that supplier invoices are anticipated when they arrive. Zahara's AI-enhanced Invoice Inbox meticulously scans each incoming invoice via email, determining the supplier, extracting detailed line-item information, and automating the three-way match with the purchase order and delivery receipt. Once matched, invoices are directed through intricate approval workflows tailored to site, department, project, or entity before they are included in payment cycles, which accommodate multi-currency transactions via Currencies Direct. This leads to a reduction in data entry, follow-ups, and handling of exceptions for accounts payable teams. Each process is meticulously documented for a complete audit trail, and Zahara seamlessly connects with Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB. The implementation process is designed for efficiency, typically requiring only weeks rather than months.
