FAQS
No. Each country has its own rules, but your invoices can still start in one ERP. We map your data to each country's format and connect to the right authority or service provider for each entity.
Saudi Arabia uses a clearance model: standard tax invoices are sent directly to ZATCA for approval before they are issued. The UAE and Oman use a Peppol-based model, where invoices are exchanged between accredited service providers and tax data is reported to the authority.
Saudi Arabia is already live, with Phase 2 integration being rolled out wave by wave. Oman's Fawtara pilot starts from August 2026, and the UAE's first mandatory phase begins on 1 January 2027 for large businesses.
Yes. We integrate with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, Tally and custom systems via API, so your team keeps invoicing the way it does today.
