Product Features

Accounts Payable

Zahara streamlines the accounts payable process, managing everything from purchase orders to supplier payments, allowing AP teams to efficiently handle a larger volume of invoices while minimizing administrative tasks, follow-ups, and data re-entry. Invoices from suppliers are sent directly to Zahara's Invoice Inbox, where advanced AI technology identifies the supplier, extracts itemized details, and performs a three-way match with the corresponding purchase order and delivery receipt. Once matched, invoices are channeled through intricate approval workflows based on site, department, project, or entity, ultimately leading to payment runs that include multi-currency options through Currencies Direct. Since spending is authorized at the purchase order level, the invoices received are predictable, resulting in fewer inquiries and discrepancies. Each step of the process is documented with a complete audit trail, and seamless integrations with platforms like Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB eliminate the need for duplicate data entry. The implementation process is quick, taking only weeks rather than months, supported by a dedicated team based in the UK.

AP Automation

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.

Billing and Invoicing

Zahara takes care of the invoicing process from the supplier's perspective, managing the invoices that your business receives. Instead of generating bills for customers, Zahara enables finance teams to efficiently capture, verify, approve, and process incoming invoices without the need for manual data entry. Suppliers send their invoices directly to Zahara's Invoice Inbox, where intelligent algorithms recognize the supplier, extract detailed line-item information, and match each invoice to its corresponding purchase order and delivery receipt. The invoices are then directed for approval based on site, department, project, or entity, and once approved, they are included in payment cycles, accommodating multi-currency transactions through Currencies Direct. The financial impact can be monitored throughout the entire process, and each invoice includes a comprehensive audit trail. Zahara integrates seamlessly with accounting systems such as Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB, ensuring invoice data syncs effortlessly without any duplication of effort. The implementation process is streamlined to take just weeks rather than months, with dedicated support available from a UK-based team.

Purchasing

Zahara is an innovative platform designed for managing purchases and purchase orders, ensuring that financial oversight is maintained before any funds are allocated, applicable across all locations, teams, projects, and entities. Employees can swiftly submit purchase requests using pre-approved product catalogs, allowing for control over what items can be purchased and from which vendors. These requests undergo a multi-tiered approval process with real-time budget insights, enabling approvers to understand the effects on departmental and project finances prior to giving their approval. Once a purchase order is sanctioned, it is sent directly to the supplier, and upon receipt of goods, transactions are logged within Zahara. This means that when invoices arrive, they are seamlessly matched with the corresponding order and receipt. The system tracks both committed and pending expenditures in real-time against general ledger codes, complete with a comprehensive audit trail for every request and approval action. Zahara is compatible with various accounting software, including Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB. The implementation process is streamlined and typically takes only weeks, supported by a dedicated team based in the UK.
