Trusted by Media & Agency Leaders in Dubai
Agencies run dozens of overlapping client projects, freelancers and retainers, yet creative talent rarely loves admin. Hours go unlogged, change requests blur the original scope and milestone invoices get raised late, so the work looks busy while cash flow and utilisation quietly suffer.
Our ERPNext implementations close this gap with a 100% open-source framework that adapts exactly to how Media & Agency businesses in Dubai actually operate — eliminating data silos and vendor lock-in for good.

Dubai businesses are running into a hard deadline. The UAE’s Electronic Invoicing System is Peppol-based and phased: voluntary from 1 July 2026, then mandatory for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more from 1 January 2027, with smaller businesses following on 1 July 2027. Larger companies are expected to have appointed an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026. It covers B2B and B2G transactions whether or not you are VAT-registered, and it requires structured invoice data rather than a PDF.
That is the part most Dubai finance teams underestimate. E-invoicing is not a print-format change — it is a data-quality requirement. If your item master, tax codes, customer TRNs and document numbering are inconsistent today, a structured e-invoice will expose every one of those gaps at the moment of issue, not at year end.
On top of that sit 5% VAT with FTA-compliant tax invoices, 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000, and WPS-compliant payroll files.
Dubai’s defining commercial characteristic is re-export. Goods land, get stored, get re-invoiced and leave again — frequently in a different currency from the one they arrived in, and often across a free-zone/mainland boundary that changes the VAT treatment. A system configured for a simple buy-and-sell business breaks quickly here.
Companies operating out of DMCC, JAFZA or DAFZ typically need multi-currency ledgers with clean realised/unrealised FX, landed-cost tracking so import duty and freight actually reach the item cost, and the ability to keep free-zone and mainland entities in one consolidated group without blurring their tax positions. Add the emirate’s density of trading intermediaries and long credit chains, and receivables ageing stops being a report and becomes a daily operating tool.
