Suppliers email invoices straight to Zahara’s Invoice Inbox. From the moment they land, Zahara uses AI to scan, read, and extract the key details — including line items. Each invoice is then automatically routed through the correct workflow. If it’s from a trusted supplier, the whole process can run without a single manual touch.
Yes. Zahara uses AI to match invoices to both purchase orders and goods received notes at the line-item level. It checks quantity, price, and line descriptions to catch mismatches before approval, even across complex multi-line documents. That means fewer errors, faster approvals, and tighter cost control without manual reconciliation.
Zahara reads invoices with smart AI and matches suppliers, line items, and tax codes to your Xero data. It follows your rules, applies your logic, and keeps things accurate every time.

Zahara checks for duplicate references and suspicious details before anything goes to Xero. It’s a safety net for your approvals — helping prevent double payments and unexpected surprises.
