Customer Story: Peterborough United FC

“Absolutely recommend Zahara to anyone looking to save time and streamline accounts payable.”

Managing approvals for spend and invoices was a slow, manual process. Budget holders had to print, email, or physically sign off on invoices, leading to delays, inefficiencies, and even lost invoices. Ensuring proper supplier selection and accountability was also a challenge.
