Trusted by Media & Agency Leaders in UAE
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 UAE actually operate — eliminating data silos and vendor lock-in for good.
improvement in creative-team utilisation visibility across concurrent projects
Enterprise-grade workflows built specifically for how Media & Agency businesses run in UAE.
See who is booked, who is free and how utilised each creative is across every live project.
Give clients a branded portal to approve work, see status and review invoices without endless e-mail threads.
Tie billing to deliverables and retainers so revenue is recognised the moment a milestone is signed off.
The federal position is uniform: 5% VAT, 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000, WPS-compliant payroll, and the Peppol-based Electronic Invoicing System — voluntary from 1 July 2026, mandatory for businesses at AED 50 million or more revenue from 1 January 2027, and for smaller businesses from 1 July 2027. Large companies are expected to appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026. Penalties for non-compliance are set out in Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025.
For a business trading in more than one emirate, the practical challenge is consolidation. Branches in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, possibly a free-zone entity alongside a mainland one, and a single group that has to file coherently — while still being able to see which branch is actually profitable.
One chart of accounts, one item master, one customer master, and consolidation that is a report rather than a monthly reconciliation exercise.
Groups operating nationally rarely fail on accounting — they fail on visibility. Stock sitting in a Sharjah warehouse that a Dubai salesperson cannot see becomes a lost order or a duplicate purchase. Pricing agreed centrally but overridden locally becomes margin leakage nobody can quantify.
The fix is unglamorous: shared masters with branch-level permissions, inter-branch stock transfers that post properly on both sides, group-level pricing with controlled local discretion, and reporting that rolls up to the group and drills down to the branch without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet.
ERPNext gives Media & Agency companies in UAE an open-source platform with no per-user licence fees, fully customizable workflows, and localized tax and payroll compliance — replacing several disconnected tools with one system you own.
Yes. The client portal lets customers view project status, approve deliverables and access their invoices in one place.

Resource allocation and timesheets show booked-versus-available hours per person, highlighting over- and under-utilisation.
For most Media & Agency deployments the timeline runs 8 to 12 weeks, covering data migration, configuration, testing and user training. Phased go-lives can start sooner on a core module.
