Manage project lifecycles, timesheets, and subscription billing seamlessly with ERPNext for service providers.
Trusted by Services Leaders in Dubai
Service and project firms sell time and expertise, so margin leaks the moment unbilled hours, scope creep and renewal dates slip through the cracks. Disconnected timesheets, helpdesks and accounting mean you invoice late, miss recurring billing and cannot tell which projects or contracts actually make money.
Our ERPNext implementations close this gap with a 100% open-source framework that adapts exactly to how Services businesses in Dubai actually operate — eliminating data silos and vendor lock-in for good.

Plan projects, assign tasks and track budget-versus-actual cost and margin in real time.
Capture billable hours against tasks and convert approved timesheets straight into client invoices.
Automate recurring contract billing and annual maintenance renewals so revenue never slips a cycle.
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.
ERPNext gives Services companies in Dubai 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. Billable time logged against a project or task flows into a sales invoice, so you capture every chargeable hour.
Subscriptions and annual maintenance contracts generate invoices automatically on schedule, with reminders before each renewal.
Each project tracks committed and actual cost against billing, giving live gross-margin reporting at project and portfolio level.
For most Services 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.
