United Arab Emirates
ERP software for contracting & construction companies in the UAE
Contractors work project by project, with large contracts, staged payments and a long list of suppliers and subcontractors. TAQNIX ERP helps you quote the client, raise purchase orders for materials and subcontract work, and issue progress invoices with 5% VAT. Payment status and due dates stay visible per client, so a delayed milestone payment does not go unnoticed. Documents can be produced in Arabic and English for consultants and owners.
Contracting for developers and main contractors
Much UAE contracting is done as a subcontractor under a main contractor on tower and villa projects in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The BOQ is priced in AED, work is approved stage by stage, and payment follows sign-off from the consultant, sometimes with part held back until completion. The owner watches, project by project, the gap between what has been approved and what has been received. TAQNIX ERP produces the progress invoices and tracks each due date.
From BOQ to final payment for contractors
The usual cycle, from the first quote to money in the bank, and where TAQNIX ERP fits at each step.
Step 1
Price the project in the UAE with a quotation or bill of quantities for the client, showing the amount and payment terms for each stage.
Step 2
Raise purchase orders to material suppliers and subcontractors, so each package has a price agreed in writing before delivery or work begins.
Step 3
TAQNIX ERP issues a progress invoice for each approved stage with 5% VAT, in Arabic and English so the consultant and the owner can review it.
Step 4
Follow payment status and due dates project by project, and issue a credit note when a variation or deduction changes an invoice already sent.
Where the day gets harder
Progress invoices built from scratch
Every milestone needs an invoice that matches the contract value, the percentage of work agreed and the earlier payments. Doing this in a spreadsheet takes hours, and one wrong figure sends the invoice back from the client's consultant for correction.
Subcontractor and supplier orders scattered
Site managers order materials and agree work with subcontractors by phone. Months later nobody can show what was agreed for which project, and supplier invoices arrive that the office cannot match to any written order.
Long payment cycles hide the cash gap
Clients pay weeks after certification, while suppliers and labour need paying sooner. When due dates sit in different files, the gap between what is owed to you and what you owe is only discovered when the bank balance is low.
VAT on large, mixed-party contracts
Large contract values magnify any VAT error, and projects involve clients, subcontractors and suppliers with different registration details. Missing tax numbers or wrong totals can delay payment, hold up a certificate and create extra work at return time.
How TAQNIX ERP helps
Invoicing
Invoice each milestone cleanly
Issue invoices for each stage of the contract with clear descriptions, amounts and 5% VAT. Every invoice is stored against the client, so the history of billing for a project can be reviewed in one place.
Sales and purchasing
Written orders for materials and subcontractors
Raise a purchase order for each supplier or subcontractor with the agreed price and terms before work or delivery starts. When their invoice arrives, the office checks it against the order rather than relying on memory.
Payment tracking
Watch what is owed in both directions
Track due dates and payment status on client invoices and on what you owe suppliers. A single view of open amounts helps you plan the week's payments around the money you are actually waiting for.
Arabic and English
Bilingual documents for owners and consultants
Quotations and invoices can be issued in Arabic and English, so a developer, a consultant and your own finance team can all read the same document. Your staff can use whichever interface language they prefer.
Where we cover Contracting & construction
Questions from Contracting & construction businesses
Can I issue invoices in stages for a long project?
Yes. You can create a separate invoice for each stage of a contract, with its own description, amount and 5% VAT, and see all invoices for one client together. How the stages are agreed stays a matter for your contract.
Can I record purchase orders to subcontractors?
Yes. Raise a purchase order for each subcontractor or supplier with the agreed price and terms, and compare their invoice with it later. TAQNIX ERP does not manage payroll or site labour, only the ordering and invoicing documents.
How do I know which clients are late paying us?
Each invoice has a due date and a status of unpaid, partly paid or paid. Filter for overdue invoices to see which clients owe you and for how long, then follow up before the gap affects your supplier payments.
