Yes. Cygnet’s platform offers seamless integration with leading ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, and more. Whether through APIs, SFTP, or plug and play connectors, we enable real-time invoice validation and submission without requiring a complete system overhaul.

To comply with UAE e-Invoicing requirements, businesses must:

• Use the PINT-AE structured invoice format
• Include all mandatory fields specified by the FTA
• Ensure invoices are validated and transmitted through a certified Access Point (AP)
• Follow the 5-corner model, ensuring real-time routing and visibility to the FTA
• Retain e-Invoices securely for at least 5 years
• Issue credit notes for any post-submission corrections, as invoices cannot be edited once validated

The 5-Corner model includes:

• Corner 1: Seller
• Corner 2: Seller’s Access Point (AP)
• Corner 3: Buyer’s Access Point (AP)
• Corner 4: Buyer
• Corner 5: UAE FTA (as validating authority)
• Issue credit notes for any post-submission corrections, as invoices cannot be edited once validated

Invoices flow from the seller to FTA via AP, are validated, and then delivered to the buyer via the SMP, ensuring secure, verified, and real-time tax data exchange. The five-corner setup is a key part of how e-invoicing UAE enables trusted, real-time validation and acknowledgment across tax systems.

Most businesses can onboard within 8 to 10 weeks, depending on their ERP readiness and data complexity. Our phased approach includes data mapping, PINT-AE compliance checks, sandbox testing, and live invoice exchange, all supported by dedicated UAE-based experts.

Cygnet provides full-lifecycle support including onboarding assistance, PINT-AE validation, audit-ready archival, and post-go-live monitoring. Our local UAE team ensures regulatory alignment, while our global infrastructure delivers scalable and secure operations. You also gain access to detailed dashboards, error logs, and proactive alerts to keep your compliance on track.
