How we help our Groundworks customers

Budget Slider Image

Project Budgets

Each job or project needs strict control of costs as set out by the QA, but when some people are onsite and others are in-office, it becomes less simple to manage. Your finance team can use Zahara to create spend budgets for any specific job or project, and track spend in real time. Your people onsite can request materials while on the job using the mobile app, and you can instantly approve or reject purchases before you have to commit to spending. Zahara helps you bring about cohesion, as well as real-time oversight and control.

Finances

You know the feeling all too well of managing multiple jobs at once, and not always having time to focus on the bigger picture. Let Zahara handle repetitive tasks like manual data entry so that finance can focus on your spending strategy and analysis. With these tasks delegated more appropriately, all attention can be given to sticking to your budgets, and improving profit margins.

Month end reporting
Are the approval workflows multi-step?
Yes. Multi-steps with multiple conditions, so out-of-the-box you can be up and running with little effort.
How accurate is the invoice processing?
Very accurate. All invoices are recognised centrally, which means none of our customers have to do any training.
My finance system isn't listed above?
Everything in Zahara can be imported as part of the initial setup using CSV files. Our main data hand-over from Zahara to your finance system are approved invoices. Can your finance system import a CSV or Excel file with invoice data? If the answer is yes, you can still enjoy Zahara to the full. If you'd prefer, Zahara can be used on its own without a finance system to control spend requests.
What exactly is Zahara controlling?
Spend. Costs. If every purchase request has to be approved, you can control what is being purchased and what suppliers you are using. You are then back in control as your business scales.
How easy is Zahara to use?
Zahara has all the features and settings that any modern finance team would want, without compromising on having a user-friendly interface. We wanted it to be accessible even for your colleagues who aren't in the finance department.
What do your customers say about Zahara?
They say "how did we manage without this!"
