Working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] of Zahara was a pleasure and he helped guide us through a lot of changes needed as a result of implementing Zahara.
The best thing about this software is that it removes a lot of our old email/manual processes which is what we urgently needed to simplify the process and make efficiency gains. In addition, the supplier portal feature is expected to vastly improve the process for our suppliers to do business with us.
I would say there isn't much to critique, so far so good! :)

Works well for multiple department order and invoice approval without high cost or difficult setup
Ease of use and adaptability. Allows configuration for different approvers and complex chart of accounts
Does not check duplicates in Xero but is excellent at checking duplicates in itself so just need to be strict on passing ALL invoices through the system.

Our overall experience with Zahara has been mixed and very up and down. Generally, the purchase ordering and invoicing system is excellent and it is exactly what we were looking for from this software. Technical support are generally very supportive and quick to get back with any problems. The main flaws which let the software down is it's lack of support to integrate with Sage 50 Accounts cloud remote...
We really like the fact that purchase ordering is very simple, straightforward and saves time due it's automated setup with workflows etc, updating GRNs and matching orders against invoices. We like that suppliers get an automated email sent from Zahara which is very flexible based on the workflows we have setup ourselves. The technical support line are helpful in getting back to us with any problems.
We are unhappy that Zahara cannot and will not change to integrate better with Sage 50 Cloud Accounts remote Sage Drive. With workers working from home, our previous setup with Sage 50 Accounts Cloud remote Sage Drive was a brilliant tool for checking on our accounts at any time from anywhere. With Zahara, we have been advised to switch this off due it's major data errors which can occur. We have encountered...

Overall experience has been great It was easy to setup business, users and documents requirements and basic workflows All help desk queries have been handled in a great manner and excellent efficiency Also great test-ability with allowing multi businesses and testing at full range
The ease of overall use, the setup of users and allocation of abilities Not used to full capacity - used alongside other in house system - used only as a PO generator and approval trail
Lack of ability to set required fields and over complications for multi functional divisions (multiple managers within division with workflows to each) Not used to full capacity - used alongside other in house system - used only as a PO generator and approval trail

It has replaced our previous purchase order system which was paper based to an online system which can be accessed from anywhere.
The product meets the business needs and is effective. It has moved us into the future becoming fully paperless within finance. It is quick and all team members are able to raise purchase orders. The document history is a great feature for solving queries as well as audit purposes.
There are always new features which doesn't work well with colleagues who don't like change.
