Control spend before it's committed — flexible multi-step approval workflows for purchase requisitions and supplier invoices, with rules based on value, department, project or budget impact. Budgets that do the policing for you — set departmental and project budgets allocated to GL codes, let teams buy confidently inside pre-set frameworks, and see committed and pending spend against balance in real time. AI-powered invoice processing — invoices emailed in are read automatically, with line-item extraction, supplier identification, PO matching and automatic three-way matching before routing into approval. AI Expenses — receipts captured automatically, claims routed through configurable approval workflows, and your team reimbursed the moment sign-off lands. Supplier payments — schedule, approve and pay invoices from the same purchase-to-pay process, including easier multi-currency payments with Currencies Direct. End-to-end traceability — track every purchase from requisition to purchase order, delivery receipt, invoice and payment, with a complete audit trail behind every step. Direct integrations with Xero, Sage 50 and Sage 200, QuickBooks Online and MYOB, plus connectors for most other finance systems. UK-based support, no minimum term on monthly plans, and a free 30-day trial. Built for charities, care providers and multi-site non-profits Whether you're running a hospice, a care group or a multi-location charity, Zahara gives non-finance staff a simple way to request and approve purchases while finance keeps control. Manage budgets across sites, maintain the clear audit trail that trustees, auditors and regulators expect, and gain the financial clarity that leaves your team more time for the causes that matter. Built for construction, groundworks and property development For project-centric businesses handling high volumes of purchases and invoices, Zahara allocates every cost to the right project, tracks budgets with precision, and processes invoices at volume without the manual keying. Site teams raise orders in seconds from approved catalogues; finance sees every commitment before it lands — keeping projects on track and margins protected. Built for growing, service-based businesses everywhere From education and hospitality to professional services, Zahara suits any multi-site or multi-department organisation that buys frequently and needs accountability behind every purchase — enterprise-grade cost control at a price growing businesses can justify. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.4/5** | 32 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Zahara - **Location**: Bath, UK - **Founded**: 2007 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: £159.00 - **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: 30-day free trial, no credit card required. - **Target Audience**: 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500 - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States ## Features - API - Access Controls/Permissions - Accounting - Accounting Integration - Activity Dashboard - Activity Tracking - Ad hoc Reporting - Alerts/Notifications - Approval Process Control - Approval Workflow - Audit Management - Audit Trail - Billing & Invoicing - Billing Portal - Budget Control - Budgeting/Forecasting - Bulk Send - Catalog Management - Compliance Management - Configurable Workflow ## Integrations (10 total) - MYOB Acumatica - Microsoft Power Automate - QuickBooks Online - QuickBooks Online Advanced - Sage 200 - Sage 50 Accounting - Sage Intacct - Twinfield - Xero - Zapier ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Accounts Payable Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/237/accounts-payable/software) ## Related Categories - [Purchasing Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/245/purchasing/software) - [Accounts Payable Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/237/accounts-payable/software) - [Real Estate Property Management Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/182/real-estate-management/software) - [Other Construction Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/3899/other-construction/software) - [Procure to Pay Software](https://www.getapp.co.uk/directory/3790/procure-to-pay/software) ## Alternatives 1.

The software is user friendly and when I have had any questions the customer support (\!\!Martin\!\!) has been amazing and responded in no time with all the info and help I've needed. ----- ### "Has been a revolutionary piece of software for us." — 5.0/5 > **Harry** | *29 June 2016* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Completely Customisable\! > > The team behind Zahara are great they talked us through how to use it, and how to integrate it into our current systems. The graphic feature is great seeing the different charts and graphs\! ----- ### "Product Search Removal" — 1.0/5 > **Glyn** | *19 January 2017* > > You have removed the product search facility, we are now unable to use Zahara for the majority of purchases. ----- ### "A world-class solution" — 5.0/5 > **Ian** | *8 August 2016* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and simplicity together with the ability to create very sophisticated workflows using the additional FileDirector system that is fully integrated. > > **Cons**: We need a bit more narrative around budgets - the ability to set budgets on individual GL codes is on the roadmap which will be really good for us. > > We had been looking for a purchase order system that required limited IT skills to use. Zahara has turned out to be exactly what we needed. It integrates with our AP solution as well so we now have a fully-automated purchase to pay solution ----- ### "Most Flexible Purchase Order Software Out There" — 5.0/5 > **Fraser** | *31 March 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Flexibility Speed Integration with other systems Continuous Improvement Adaptability Ease of Use > > **Cons**: A few minor bugs here and there, but always dealt with very quickly when raised. Great communication from the support team > > Zahara keeps getting better. We've saved hours of processing time, and gave gained a huge amount of control over our spend.
