## Reviews

### "Great procurement software for construction industry" — 5.0/5

> **Kerry** | *24 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It helps with controlling costs and we can part allocate to purchase orders (as we tend to get several invoices per order)
> 
> **Cons**: Bit of a learning curve and had quite a teething issues but most have now been resolved. Sometimes it would of been more helpful for support to fix what was wrong instead of directing us to help articles to do it ourselves, which took up our valuable time.
> 
> Good program to use for procurement management, especially for more complex companies who need it for multiple sites and departments.

### "Game changer" — 4.0/5

> **Ashleigh** | *23 June 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Changed our PO system and need for paper invoices.  It is so easy to locate older invoices and be able to share information with the auditors easily
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes doesn't read invoices as expected.  Would like the GRN icon to show on the Invoice Inbox list so we can see at a glance which PO has been received before processing the invoice
> 
> Overall Zahara has been great for our business and I've been happy to share our experience with others

### "Strong offering in P.O & Invoice Management" — 4.0/5

> **Graham** | *25 June 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Integration with Sage 50 \&amp; ability to create automated workflows to process purchase orders \&amp; invoices.
> 
> **Cons**: Management of rounding issues when invoice values have been miscalculated \&amp; system level decimal places config rather than supplier level.
> 
> Overall the Zahara system has sped up our P.O \&amp; invoice processing which has created efficiencies which we can taken advantage of.

### "Great, user-friendly, accounting software" — 4.0/5

> **Ellie** | *16 May 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zahara is a relatively user friendly system, with great reporting tools and an exceptional ability to create workflows. The process for raising purchase orders is great, and the software scans invoices and pulls details from the scan, automatically matching the invoice to a PO, which is a great feature.
> 
> **Cons**: Uploading multi-page invoices sometimes results in wrong information being pulled, or being matched to a wrong PO, which can be time consuming to resolve.
> 
> Overall, Zahara is a great accounting software, with the ability to build fairly complex workflows. Our employees love being able to see their budgets clearly when raising purchase orders.

### "Good All Rounder for Purchasing" — 5.0/5

> **Robin** | *29 August 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and adaptability. Allows configuration for different approvers and complex chart of accounts
> 
> **Cons**: 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.
> 
> Works well for multiple department order and invoice approval without high cost or difficult setup
