Custom and in-house software
Your invoices come from a system built for you, perhaps by a developer who has moved on. We add the FBR connection without rebuilding it.
Solutions FBR digital invoicing
Pakistan · FBR digital invoicingSuspended for not integrating? We connect your system to FBR.
We connect custom, older and multi-branch billing systems to FBR's digital invoicing through PRAL, FBR's free licensed integrator. Your team keeps the software it knows.
Who we help
Built for the systems portals can't handle
If you issue a few invoices from basic software, a ready-made FBR portal may be cheaper, and we'll tell you so. We focus on the harder cases.
Desktop accounting and spreadsheets
Invoices from desktop accounting tools or Excel. We connect the tool, or give you a simple invoicing screen that feeds the same records.
Multi-branch firms and distributors
Several branches, several billing points or a distributor app. One connection serves them all, with every invoice traced to its branch.
How it works
Four steps to a working connection
1
Check
We look at how invoices are made today and list what FBR needs that's missing: HS codes, buyer details, tax rates.
You get: a fixed quote and a date
2
Connect
You select PRAL as integrator in IRIS and share the security token PRAL issues. We connect your system to FBR's digital invoicing API.
3
Test
We run the sandbox scenarios FBR sets for your business activity until every one passes, then switch to production.
4
Watch
Rejected invoices land in an error inbox with alerts, so nothing goes missing. Monthly support keeps it running.
Built once, tested hard. Our connector validates every invoice with FBR before posting it, looks up HS codes, rates and units from the FBR reference data, retries safely without duplicates and keeps an audit log, so each new client starts from tested parts.

Questions we hear
Do we need a licensed integrator?
Yes, and PRAL, FBR's own licensed integrator, provides integration free of charge. You select PRAL in IRIS, and we build the connection from your software to FBR's digital invoicing API.
Our registration is suspended. Can you restore it?
We fix the integration, which is usually what's missing. Restoring the registration is a filing your tax adviser makes; we work alongside them.
What do you need from us?
The security token PRAL issues to you, a few sample invoices, your product or service list with HS codes, and access to the system that produces invoices.
How long does it take?
It depends on your system. After the first check we give you a fixed quote and a go-live date.
Do you also handle Punjab's PRA E-IMS?
Yes. For restaurants and other services businesses in Punjab, see PRA billing for restaurants.
Is this tax advice?
No. We connect and run the technology. Tax treatment, registrations and returns stay with your tax adviser.
Fixed quote
Tell us what you invoice from. We'll quote the fix.
One short call and a look at a few sample invoices is usually enough for a fixed quote.
