## Reviews

### "Great Piece of Work" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *4 August 2016* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to Use Makes Approvals Easy Allows for individual project budgets and costs to be tracked Customer Support
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if this software directly integrated with Xero so that when I add a purchase invoice in Xero I could simultaneously match it off against the PO in Zahara.
> 
> We haven't been using Zahara for long but we can already see how the increased visibility of costs and easy implementation of approval processes will increase our efficiency compared to chasing down approvals manually and not really keeping a record of this. &#13;&#10;The software is user friendly and when I have had any questions the customer support (\!\!Martin\!\!) has been amazing and responded in no time with all the info and help I've needed.

> **Ian** | *8 August 2016* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and simplicity together with the ability to create very sophisticated workflows using the  additional FileDirector system that is fully integrated.
> 
> **Cons**: We need a bit more narrative around budgets  - the ability to set budgets on individual GL codes is on the roadmap which will be really good for us.
> 
> We had been looking for a purchase order system that required limited IT skills to use. Zahara has turned out to be exactly what we needed. It integrates with our AP solution as well so we now have a fully-automated purchase to pay solution

The part we like most is being able to get the information straight into our accounts system. The team there are always responding to our requirements and keep improving the service (even quicker than we can react to\!)
