Aqid ERP runs payroll for the whole workforce in AED with the WPS salary file and gratuity, warns before visas and work permits expire, invoices each client monthly with signed PINT AE XML and shows the margin per client.

Set up every client as a project or cost centre. Tag the workers' accommodation, transport and permit costs to it, then move their payroll cost there: payroll posts one entry, which you re-tag to one client or spread across several with an allocation journal.
One monthly run in AED for every worker, with the WPS SIF file built from each IBAN and labour card number. Since 1 June 2026 wages are due on the 1st and 85 percent must go through WPS; the run warns when the payday is late or a worker has no IBAN.
A fixed monthly supply fee runs as a recurring invoice. When headcount changes, edit the draft before it goes out; it is still issued as a tax invoice with its signed PINT AE XML.
Residence visa, work permit, labour card, Emirates ID and passport dates are on each worker's record. Notices come 30 days and 7 days before expiry and on the day, so a renewal is started before a placement is put at risk.
No employee limit on Growth and Premium, the WPS SIF salary file, overtime on the basic wage, end-of-service gratuity and bilingual payslips.
Residence visa, work permit, labour card, Emirates ID and passport dates per worker, with a 60-day list of what is about to lapse.
Accommodation, transport and recruitment costs tagged to a client, payroll cost allocated to it, and branches by emirate if you run more than one office.
Monthly supply invoices, customer statements and ageing, emailed automatically or shared on WhatsApp, with reminders and a payment link once a payment provider is connected.
Bills for accommodation, transport and permit fees with an approval limit, and expense claims from supervisors in the field.
A mainland company and a free-zone company, or a recruitment arm and a supply arm, each with its own ledger and VAT, under one login with consolidated statements on Growth (up to three companies) and Premium.
Each client invoice carries 5% VAT, input tax on accommodation, transport and other bills is collected as you post them, and the VAT 201 is laid out from the ledger for you to enter on EmaraTax by the 28th day after the period ends. The layout has not yet been checked with a live filing, and how VAT applies to particular costs, such as worker housing or government fees, is for your tax adviser.
Your clients are businesses, so your invoices fall under the e-invoicing mandate. At AED 50M of revenue or more you transmit from 1 January 2027; below that, you appoint an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and transmit from 1 July 2027. Aqid ERP signs each invoice and credit note as PINT AE XML today; its connection to a provider is not yet live, and it is not a provider itself.
