What we deliver

Sprint, connection, then running it

Readiness sprint

Ten working days, fixed price. Every invoicing system checked against the PINT AE fields, master data fixed (TRNs, addresses, tax codes) and two providers shortlisted with quotes.

from AED 3,500

Connection build

A connector from your ERP, POS or spreadsheets to the provider you choose, tested well before go-live.

from AED 8,000 per system

Run and fix

An inbox for rejected invoices, monthly reconciliation and updates when the rules change.

We are not an Accredited Service Provider. We prepare your systems and data, then connect you to the accredited provider you choose from the Ministry of Finance list.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Does this apply to my business?

The mandate is rolling out by revenue band, as the timeline shows. Your tax agent can confirm your phase and any exemptions.

Do I need a new ERP?

Usually not. Most systems can be connected. The sprint report tells you whether yours can, and what it costs if it can't.

Will you choose the provider for us?

We shortlist two with quotes and explain the difference. You choose and sign with the provider directly.

What is PINT AE?

It's the UAE's version of the Peppol e-invoice format. Every e-invoice must carry its mandatory fields in that structure.

Who will we deal with?

Qaisar in Dubai, with our engineering team in Lahore doing the mapping and connection work. We work in English, Urdu and Hindi.

Is this tax advice?

No. We prepare and connect systems. Your tax agent decides VAT treatment.
