As the UAE moves towards mandatory e-invoicing, businesses are actively evaluating Accredited Service Providers (ASPs), since companies with revenue of AED 50 million or more are required to appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026 to remain compliant and avoid penalties of AED 5,000 per month.
For businesses exploring alternatives to Deloitte & Touche, this blog highlights why Flick Network is emerging as a leading e-invoicing solution provider in the UAE and outlines key evaluation factors such as compliance readiness, integration capability, and scalability to support informed decision-making.
Deloitte & Touche's InTax is a pre-approved solution backed by strong tax advisory depth and prior e-invoicing implementation experience in Saudi Arabia, where it supported ZATCA Phase 1 and Phase 2 requirements. The platform offers reporting dashboards, ERP integration, and compliance features designed for the UAE e-invoicing mandate.
InTax is part of a broader professional services ecosystem, which may offer a different implementation and support model compared to dedicated e-invoicing software providers. Businesses seeking a purpose-built platform with a dedicated product support team, in-house technical development, and scalable transaction-based pricing may prefer a specialist e-invoicing solution based on their operational requirements.
The UAE Ministry of Finance's February 2026 "Considerations for Selecting an Accredited Service Provider" document outlined specific criteria businesses should apply when evaluating any ASP for the UAE e-invoicing deadline:
Accreditation status under the UAE Ministry of Finance and listing on the EmaraTax portal
Length of experience in operating and managing e-invoicing systems across live markets
Active Peppol certification as an Access Point and Service Metadata Publisher
ERP and accounting system integration capability via multiple connection methods
Data storage within the UAE in full alignment with local regulatory requirements
Defined support SLAs with 24/7 availability from a dedicated in-country team
When any of these areas are unclear or weak, it can delay UAE e-invoicing compliance, complicate implementation, or create operational gaps after go-live. Businesses should assess each provider against all criteria before making a final selection.
Flick Network is a dedicated e-invoicing and tax automation platform providing compliance alignment, global coverage, and full system control within a single platform. The company started in 2016 and has 10+ years of experience in e-invoicing and tax automation across more than 50 countries, serving 1,000+ enterprises globally, including Nesto, Wade Adams, Ali & Sons, Honda, MAN Energy, Bureau Veritas, Bosch, and TotalEnergies.
Flick Network is listed on the EmaraTax portal as an approved Accredited Service Provider (ASP) by the UAE Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority. The company was also one of the first pre-approved providers on the September 2025 list published on the MoF website.
Flick Network L.L.C-FZ is registered and based in Dubai at Floor 18, Sheikh Rashid Tower, World Trade Center, with active UAE e-invoicing integrations already underway for clients ahead of the compliance deadlines. The company has been aligning its systems with UAE e-invoicing requirements since the Ministry of Finance's initial announcement in July 2023.
Flick Network began with GST reconciliation tools in India in 2016 and now supports e-invoicing operations across 50+ countries, including Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Oman, and Spain. The company holds accreditations from 10+ tax authorities globally, including Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Belgium, with Peppol-enabled clients in Belgium, Germany, Malaysia, and Denmark.
The company has been a certified Peppol Access Point (AP) and Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) for over three years. Because it holds both AP and SMP certifications, invoice data is never routed through third-party providers within the Peppol network, and the exchange remains fully within its own certified infrastructure.
Flick Network’s e-invoicing platform is fully developed and managed in-house, without relying on third-party software or external vendors. Any regulatory updates from the FTA or Ministry of Finance, including XML or compliance changes, are handled directly by the same team that manages the platform, with no additional cost to clients.
The platform supports invoice generation, validation, real-time exchange, FTA submission, audit tracking, error management, AP/AR reconciliation, and customizable approval workflows.
Flick Network integrates with ERP and finance systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, IFS, Coupa, and Ariba through REST/SOAP APIs, SFTP, DB links, EDI, bulk file uploads, and standalone dashboards for manual invoicing. A single global API and webhook framework supports e-invoicing compliance across multiple regions through one integration point, simplifying integration and ongoing compliance management.
To support different operational requirements, the platform also offers on-premise deployment for businesses that require full control over data processing and archival. An in-house integration team manages the complete implementation process, from ERP mapping to go-live, helping reduce deployment timelines and minimise disruption to finance operations.
All UAE e-invoicing data is stored within the UAE, with cloud servers locally hosted in the UAE, fully aligned with the Ministry of Finance's data residency requirements. Every document is processed internally in under 0.3 seconds, and every document passes through 200+ internal data validation checks to minimise failures before transmission to the FTA.
Flick Network holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR compliance, and VAPT certifications, with independently audited controls for security, availability, and data protection. All data is encrypted using AES-256 at rest, and communications are secured via TLS 1.2+, along with role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication for all platform access.
The platform processes up to 25,000 transactions per second with 99.99% uptime, covering businesses that manage large invoice volumes across multiple entities and regions. This capacity level allows business growth across geographies without system redesign or performance limitations during peak transaction periods.
Flick Network provides 24/7 support through phone, email, chat, and ticketing from a dedicated UAE-based team. Response SLAs are clearly defined: critical issues resolved within one hour, major issues within three hours, and minor issues within six hours. The 99.99% uptime guarantee supports continuous finance operations across all workflows without interruption.
Flick Network follows a subscription-based pricing model determined by transaction volume. One-time fees for onboarding and ERP integration may apply depending on implementation scope. All charges are outlined in the proposal and Master Services Agreement, with no hidden costs beyond what is agreed upfront.
Flick Network goes beyond standard e-invoicing with a full suite of capabilities built directly into the platform, covering the complete finance and compliance lifecycle:
Reconciliation Module: Automates AP/AR and tax report reconciliation, detects discrepancies across ERP and e-invoicing data, and flags unmatched entries before they create compliance issues
3-Way Matching: Matches invoices with purchase orders and GRNs to prevent duplicate payments and confirm accuracy across all AP invoices
PINT AE to PDF Conversion: Converts PINT AE XML invoices into branded, readable PDF documents suitable for business records or audit submissions
Role-Based Access Control: Defines user roles and permissions at a micro level, so each user accesses only the modules and actions assigned to their role
Email Notification System: Sends automated alerts for errors, invoice status changes, or platform downtime using fully customisable notification templates
Customer Communication: Auto-triggers invoice emails directly to customers who are not available on the Peppol e-invoicing network, keeping delivery uninterrupted
Reports: Generates standard or custom compliance reports directly from the dashboard, giving finance teams full visibility over their invoicing activity
Report Scheduler: Schedules and delivers periodic compliance reports automatically via email or secure storage, without manual intervention
Single Sign On (SSO): Integrates with internal SSO systems to provide dashboard access without requiring repeated individual logins
Deloitte & Touche received MoF pre-approval for InTax in October 2025, making it one of the earlier pre-approved ASPs in the UAE. InTax is an end-to-end compliance platform with intuitive dashboards, reporting capabilities, and ERP integration with existing enterprise systems. Deloitte & Touche also offers broader e-invoicing consulting services covering impact assessments, awareness sessions, process redesign, and implementation support, including for third-party solutions where clients require them.
Deloitte & Touche primarily operates as a tax and consulting firm that also provides an e-invoicing platform. This means InTax benefits from strong regulatory knowledge but comes with a consulting-led implementation model. Businesses looking for a platform focused specifically on e-invoicing, with dedicated technical support and standalone service agreements, should consider this during vendor evaluation.
