The Challenge

Five operational gaps holding back growth

Before the rollout, DevisersTech was running on spreadsheets with manual VAT calculations and no ZATCA-compliant invoicing in place.

Manual Books of Accounts

Finance was tracked in spreadsheets with no proper Chart of Accounts.

VAT & E-Invoicing Risk

Manual VAT and no ZATCA e-invoicing created real compliance exposure.

Unstructured Chart of Accounts

There was no clean COA mapped to the way the business actually operates.

No Automated Sales Invoicing

Invoices were created manually with no template, controls or workflow.

No Centralized Visibility

Leadership had no real-time view of revenue, VAT or receivables.

In Their Words

“Our finance team was spending hours on manual entries with no confidence that our VAT reporting was fully compliant. We needed a proper system, and fast.”

Bilal, Manager
