Case Study: Shift Active Media achieves automated financial control with Zahara

Hyper growth required affordable spend approvals

Shift Active Media, the Bath-based cycling media agency behind one of the world’s largest and fastest growing cycling media brands, needed a better way to manage budgets, financial controls, and approvals as it expanded internationally. Because the company already used Sage for accounting, it needed a purchase approvals platform that could integrate with Sage seamlessly. Zahara provided its Purchase Approvals Platform to meet that requirement.

Zahara integrated with Sage in just a few clicks, synchronizing supplier records and nominal codes across both systems. The platform was rolled out quickly across the business, giving Shift a user-friendly way to manage budgets, approvals, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and invoices with multi-level workflows and real-time spending visibility. Zahara helped improve compliance, financial awareness, and profitability, contributing to better bottom-line performance.
