For garages and car service centres in the UAE, Aqid ERP turns an accepted quote into a tax invoice with parts and labour at 5% VAT, keeps spare parts stock at weighted average cost, adds freight and customs duty to imported parts, and pays technicians through a WPS salary file. Aqid ERP lays out the FTA's VAT 201 from the books, generates every invoice as signed PINT AE XML for the 2027 e-invoicing mandate and runs payroll in dirhams with a WPS salary file and end-of-service gratuity. The Growth plan fits, at AED 109 a month, with a 60-day free trial. Not built yet: Aqid ERP has no job-card module and no booking calendar, so vehicle check-in and bay scheduling stay in your workshop tool or on paper.

Email the quote or share it on WhatsApp from your phone. The customer opens the link and accepts it without an account, so the work starts on a written approval rather than a phone call. When the car is ready, the quote becomes the invoice.
Add parts from stock and labour as service lines on the same invoice. The parts leave stock and their cost of sales posts when you issue it. A walk-in driver who is not VAT-registered can be given a simplified tax invoice.
Keep filters, pads, batteries, oils and tyres in one or several stores at weighted average cost. Move parts between branches and count them when you need to; parts can carry a barcode for the till and the count.
Spread freight and customs duty over an imported shipment with landed cost, so each part carries what it cost to bring in. The 5% import VAT stays out of that cost: it is declared in the VAT 201 and recovered where the normal rules allow.
Quotes accepted by link, tax and simplified tax invoices, credit notes for returned parts, payment links once a payment provider is connected, email reminders and statements for fleet accounts.
Spare parts as stock items in several stores, transfers between branches, stock counts and weighted average cost, with cost of sales posted on each invoice. Growth and Premium.
Purchase orders to parts suppliers become bills. Large orders can wait for a second approver, and landed cost spreads freight and customs duty over imported parts.
Monthly payroll in AED with a WPS SIF file, gratuity accrued every month, overtime priced on the basic wage, and notices before visas and work permits expire.
Tag each workshop or service bay as a cost centre and run the profit and loss for each.
Lifts, diagnostic machines, alignment rigs and tools as fixed assets, with depreciation run each month in one click.
Parts and labour in the example carry VAT at 5%. A simplified tax invoice is allowed when the customer is not VAT-registered or the sale is AED 10,000 or less. Each invoice records the emirate of supply, because the VAT 201 splits standard-rated sales by emirate in boxes 1a to 1g; you enter the figures on EmaraTax.
Sales to individual drivers are outside the e-invoicing phases announced so far. Invoices to fleet operators and other businesses are not: under AED 50M of revenue, you appoint an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and transmit from 1 July 2027. Your provider also receives your parts suppliers' e-invoices. Aqid ERP generates each invoice as signed PINT AE XML today; its connection to a provider is in progress and not yet live.
When you import parts as a registered business, the import VAT is declared in Box 6 and, where the normal rules allow, recovered in Box 10. Check Box 6 against the figure the FTA pre-fills from customs data.

Yes. Add parts from stock and labour as service lines on one tax invoice. The parts leave stock and cost of sales posts when you issue it.
No. There is no job-card or booking module. Keep check-in and scheduling in your current tool, and use Aqid ERP for quotes, invoices, stock, VAT and payroll.
Not under the phases announced so far: sales to consumers are outside them, and a simplified tax invoice by email or WhatsApp is fine. Invoices to fleet operators and other businesses do fall under the mandate, from 1 July 2027 for businesses under AED 50M of revenue.
At weighted average cost, with freight and customs duty added through landed cost. The 5% import VAT is not part of the cost: you declare it in Box 6 of the VAT 201 and recover it in Box 10 where the normal rules allow. FIFO and serial numbers are not supported.
Yes. Each run produces a WPS SIF file for your bank, accrues end-of-service gratuity and warns you if the payday is after the 1st or an employee has no IBAN. No bank has yet accepted an Aqid ERP file, so test the first one with yours. Starter covers up to five employees.
Yes. Customers, items and open invoices come in through the import, with free migration help during the offer to 31 December 2026, and you can start with a 60-day free trial.
Set up for the UAE's rules from the first day.
