So what do we bring to the table? In short: visibility, scalability and financial control. As your business grows, maintaining these three magic elements will become ever more important.<\/p>\r\n<p>In this article we\u2019ll unpack how integrating Zahara with Xero can help you achieve this. Hit the coffee machine, nab a digestive, and let\u2019s jump in.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_perks\"><\/span>The perks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"an_enhanced_procurement_process\"><\/span>An enhanced procurement process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>We probably don\u2019t need to stress the importance of a robust procurement system. But Xero, for all its perks, lacks the kind of tools you need to operate one. Raising purchase orders, approvals, tracking the process of your order \u2013 all things that you can\u2019t do in a Xero, all things you can do with Zahara.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/purchase-order-software\/\">Zahara\u2019s Purchase Order system<\/a> allows you to raise and send standardized purchase orders in one system, providing total visibility of your order\u2019s progress. You can also shrug off the worry of duplicate orders, and breeze through the day knowing that the clear, professional communication channels your upgrade brings is fostering strong supplier relations \u2013 something else we don\u2019t need to stress the importance of.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"automated_approval_workflows\"><\/span>Automated approval workflows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>So Ken from accounts has turned up to the office Christmas party in a brand-new Cadillac convertible, his wife in a fine mink coat. Meanwhile, Xero is showing your accounts don\u2019t balance, and one swelling project budget after another is causing you to sweat.<\/p>\r\n<p>While Xero is great for showing you where your money is being spent, it doesn\u2019t offer you controls over how that money is being spent. Zahara can fix this.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our software adds cost controls and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/invoice-approval-software\/\">approval workflows<\/a> to ensure payments are authorized before any money leaves your account. You can assign the responsibility to relevant managers and department heads (or even just yourself if you\u2019re a small team). Oversight and final say: They translate right into fraud prevention and budgetary compliance, and a little less sweat on your brow.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"streamlined_invoice_processing\"><\/span>Streamlined invoice processing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Xero will take care of your core accounting functions, but you\u2019ll still have to enter your invoices manually. There are many reasons why this isn\u2019t optimal. Risking human error, chewing up work hours, and frankly boring the socks off your finance team are just a few of them.<\/p>\r\n<p>Combining Zahara with Xero will smooth all this out for you. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/invoice-processing-software\/\">Invoice Processing Software<\/a> uses three-way matching to triple-check invoices against goods received notes and purchase orders. It then syncs all this with Xero, complete with supplier info, prices and audit trails.<\/p>\r\n<p>Not only does it do that, but it does it quickly and efficiently, freeing up the poor souls that used to spend their days labouring over invoice input. Now you can have them work on something more productive, like figuring out ways to improve your business\u2019 financial health.<\/p>\r\n<style>\r\n\t.testbox {\r\n    border-radius: 11.725px;\r\n    background: linear-gradient(89deg, #FF5C00 0.96%, #FFB800 113.64%);\r\n    box-shadow: 2.198px 2.931px 7.548px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);\r\n    display: flex;\r\n    padding: 10px 25px;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    align-items: center;\r\n    justify-content: center;\r\n}\r\n\t.ft18 {\r\n\t\tfont-size:18px!important;\r\n\t}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"testbox ft18 mt60 mb60\"><h2 class=\"pl10 pr20 mt10 mr20 fw300 ft18 text-center text-white\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"weve_created_a_quick_questionaire_to_help_see_if_youre_a_good_fit\"><\/span>We&#8217;ve created a quick questionaire to help see if you&#8217;re a good fit.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-solid-blue\" id=\"openModalQtnBtn\" title=\"Approx 1 min\">Are you ready for an upgrade?<\/button><\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"real-time_spend_visibility\"><\/span>Real-time spend visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Xero does great historical budget reporting, but it won\u2019t show you what\u2019s happening in the present. Need to track the progress of your latest order? How about making sure a project is on budget?<\/p>\r\n<p>Combining Zahara with Xero will let you do just that. With your automated purchase order system and your streamlined invoice processing, there\u2019s no more waiting till it\u2019s too late to discover you\u2019re suffering from budget bloat or late deliveries.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"next-level_cash_flow_management\"><\/span>Next-level cash flow management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>A Zahara integration won\u2019t just boost Xero\u2019s capabilities in the present \u2013 It will also plug gaps in Xero\u2019s ability to forecast financial futures. It does this by allowing you to include committed costs as an upcoming expense in your cash flow projection, even if it\u2019s an as-yet unapproved payment.<\/p>\r\n<p>Any overspending risks will be flagged before they can cause damage. Being able to see further down the road is never a bad thing\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"clearer_audit_trails\"><\/span>Clearer audit trails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>The past couple of points have been hitting on visibility, so we\u2019ll add one more on the subject while we\u2019re at it. This one ties in a lot with real-time spend benefits of choosing Zahara as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/accounts-payable-automation\/what-is-erp-integration\/\">ERP integration<\/a> with Xero.<\/p>\r\n<p>With Zahara, each step in your procurement process will be visible in real time, but each step is also stored in a granular audit trail so that you can dig back through them if needs be. Lost some money along the way? Ken from accounts is now turning up to work in a different convertible each morning? You\u2019ll have a better, clearer view of what\u2019s happened with Zahara than you will without it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Fraud detection isn\u2019t the only benefit here. It\u2019s worth remembering that detailed accounts will go a long way to proving that your business is doing things correctly should HMRC come calling.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"multi-site_and_multi-department_control\"><\/span>Multi-site and multi-department control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re operating across multiple departments, or even locations, you\u2019re going to struggle without a software integration like Zahara. It\u2019s not easy to keep track of where all the money is going or who\u2019s spending it when your team is decentralized.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019ve set out to solve that problem. Our software will add oversight, allowing you to make use of all the benefits we\u2019ve mentioned above from a centralized point. You can think of it like looking at a confusing road network, and Zahara being your GPS. Appoint responsibilities, assign budgets, get real-time financial reporting and forecasting sent back, clearly, centrally and easy to digest.<\/p>\r\n<p>Going international? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/supplier-payment-runs\/\">Zahara works in multiple currencies<\/a>, and languages making international payments and communication easier too.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"scalability\"><\/span>Scalability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Xero, at the end of the day, is aimed at SMEs. If your ambitions are to grow beyond that, you\u2019re eventually going to have to consider more complex business software.<\/p>\r\n<p>Boosting your capabilities with Zahara will prolong Xero\u2019s lifespan for your growing organisation. That gives you the time you need to make those decisions, prepare your staff for the jump to new software, and implement the change with minimal impact on your operations.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Matching your business software to the needs of your company is a must. As your organisational needs grow, so will the demands put on your software. Xero can take you much of the way but won\u2019t deliver the whole package. The increased visibility, scalability and control a Zahara integration brings will allow Xero to grow alongside your business.<\/p>\r\n<p>And look, we know we\u2019re biased on this but we\u2019re proud of what we do.
