Unbox

Connecting member invoicing with Unbox’s internal management processes into one automated operation - from recurring, ZATCA-compliant invoices to the approvals and workflows that run the coworking business behind the scenes.

“Invoicing and our day-to-day operations used to be two separate worlds. Shyphan joined them into one system that mostly runs itself.”

Overview

Project overview

Unbox partnered with Shyphan to deliver integrated invoicing and automated internal workflows. Unbox runs busy coworking spaces in Riyadh, but billing members and running internal operations lived in separate, mostly manual systems.

Shyphan, a Zoho Premium Partner, connected Unbox’s invoicing to its internal management processes, so bills and approvals flow from the same data without manual re-keying. The build combined Automated Invoice Integration and Internal Process Automation, configured around how the business actually runs.

Within weeks of go-live, Unbox’s invoicing and internal processes ran from one connected system. Measured outcomes included 100% Automated Recurring Invoicing, zero Manual ZATCA Invoices and 90% Faster Month-End. The project was delivered by Shyphan across Saudi Arabia Riyadh.

The Challenge

Six gaps between invoicing and operations

Unbox runs busy coworking spaces in Riyadh, but billing members and running internal operations lived in separate, mostly manual systems.

Manual Member Invoicing

Recurring memberships and add-ons were invoiced by hand every cycle.

Disconnected Systems

Membership, bookings and finance data lived in separate tools and sheets.

Manual Internal Approvals

Purchases, discounts and sign-offs moved slowly through email and chat.

ZATCA Compliance Effort

Keeping invoices ZATCA-compliant added manual work to every bill.

Slow Month-End

Reconciling members, payments and invoices took days each month.

No Management Visibility

Leadership had no live view of revenue, occupancy or pending approvals.

In Their Words

“Every month-end was a scramble - matching members to payments, raising invoices, chasing approvals. We knew it should be automatic.”

Our Approach

Five-phase delivery in 5 weeks

We mapped the full member-to-invoice journey first, then automated it in controlled phases so live billing was never at risk.

5. Go-Live & Hyper-careCutover, training, go-live support and an optimization sprintStable, hands-off system

Why the phased roll-out worked

Invoicing was automated first and proven before internal workflows were layered on.
Live member billing kept running throughout, with no disruption to cash flow.
The team adopted the dashboard with confidence because they had validated the numbers.

Compliance we kept in mind for Saudi Arabia

Every build we deliver in Saudi Arabia is checked against the Kingdom’s tax, e-invoicing, payroll and data rules before go-live. These are the ones that shaped this project.

ZATCA Phase-2 e-invoicing

Fatoora onboarding with CSID, UBL 2.1 XML, QR codes and clearance or reporting depending on B2B or B2C.

15% VAT

Standard, zero-rated and exempt supplies mapped correctly, VAT-inclusive pricing where the market expects it, and return-ready reports.

Saudi PDPL

Personal data of customers and staff kept to what the process needs, with role-based access and audit logs.

Bilingual documents

Arabic and English on invoices, quotations and customer communications, with Hijri and Gregorian dates where required.

SAR and rounding

Halala-level rounding, SAR as base currency and ZATCA-compliant totals on every document.

Member personal data

Member IDs and payment details stored in Zoho with restricted access, in line with Saudi PDPL.

Compliance reviewed before go-live, not after
