Built on the OpenPeppol network and the Decentralized Continuous Transaction Control and Exchange (DCTCE) model, it uses Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) to ensure secure, standardized, and interoperable invoice exchange.

Using the PINT AE XML format, businesses can automate invoice validation, improve VAT compliance, and integrate seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain. At Dynamics Center, we help organizations implement compliant UAE e-Invoicing solutions with Dynamics 365, Electronic Reporting (ER), and ASP integration.
