ZATCA Phase 2 waves are live — check what your business must do before your wave

Questions, answered properly

Everything people ask before buying DMIndex Software or becoming a client — with the actual answers, not support-speak.

ZATCA & compliance

What is ZATCA e-invoicing and who must comply in Saudi Arabia?
ZATCA e-invoicing (نظام الفاتورة الإلكترونية, also called FATOORA) is the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority's mandate that businesses issue invoices in a structured digital format. Phase 1 (generation) has applied to taxpayers since December 2021, and Phase 2 (integration and clearance) rolls out in waves — the revenue threshold has dropped to SAR 375,000 by wave 24, so most VAT-registered businesses in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and across the Kingdom now need a compliant system.
What is the difference between FATOORA Phase 1 and Phase 2?
Phase 1 requires you to generate e-invoices with a QR code and prevent tampering. Phase 2 goes further: your software must connect to the ZATCA FATOORA portal through an API, submit invoices for clearance (B2B) or reporting (B2C) in real time, stamp them cryptographically, and chain them with a previous invoice hash. DMIndex Software supports both phases out of the box.
Is DMIndex Software compliant with ZATCA requirements?
Yes. DMIndex Software is built to ZATCA's published technical specifications: UBL 2.1 XML, Phase 1 TLV QR codes, Phase 2 cryptographic stamping and invoice hashing, plus clearance and reporting through the FATOORA API. A sandbox test suite and API integration logs are included so your team can validate compliance before production.

Can you migrate my data from another accounting system?

Business & support

Which Saudi cities and industries do you serve?
We work with businesses across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Makkah, Madinah, Buraidah, Tabuk and Abha — in retail, restaurants and cafés, trading, contracting, clinics, logistics, professional services and e-commerce.
Does DMIndex Software work offline?
The POS continues to queue transactions during internet drops and syncs automatically when the connection returns; ZATCA clearance is submitted as soon as connectivity is restored, keeping you compliant without stopping sales.
Is my financial data secure?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up daily, and access is controlled by role-based permissions with a full audit log. Only authorised users in your company can view or export financial records.
Do you also provide digital marketing services?
Yes. DMindex has been a digital marketing agency since 2014 — SEO, Google Ads, social media and lead generation — and many KSA clients use DMIndex Software together with our growth services for one accountable partner.
