Facility Management Software in the UAE

Key trends and pressures

• From reactive to planned maintenance

  Asset owners increasingly expect planned preventive maintenance and asset registers, not only repairs after breakdowns.

• SLA-driven contracts

  Contracts are more often tied to response times, completion rates and service quality.

• Mobile field operations

  Technicians and supervisors are moving to mobile apps for work orders, checklists, photos and client sign-off.

• Worker welfare and compliance

  Attention to working hours, rest periods, accommodation standards and timely salary payment continues to shape how FM workforces are managed.

• 01

  Work orders without visibility

  Service requests arrive by phone, email and messaging apps, so managers cannot easily see what is overdue or at risk of breaching an SLA.

• 02

  Complex rosters and overtime

  Rotating shifts across many sites, relief cover, night work and overtime make attendance and payroll hard to calculate correctly for large teams.

• 03

  Contract billing done by hand

  Fixed monthly fees, variable call-outs, materials and subcontracted work are combined manually into invoices, causing delays and missed charges.

• 04

  Spare parts and consumables leakage

  Stock held in site stores, vans and a central warehouse is hard to track, and materials used on jobs are not always charged or recorded.

• 05

  Subcontractor and vendor control

  Specialist subcontractors for lifts, fire systems, pest control or HVAC need clear scopes, approvals and payment tracking linked to the jobs they perform.

• 06

  Workforce document tracking

  Visas, Emirates IDs, labour contracts, site passes and safety training records expire at different times, and a lapse can stop a worker from being deployed.

• Right Team

  We assemble a team of HRMS, ERP and field service specialists who understand work orders, planned maintenance, contract billing and shift-based payroll.

• Right People

  We match you with professionals who understand FM operations in the UAE, including multi-site rosters, SLA reporting, subcontractor management and WPS payroll.

• Right Products

  We help you compare HRMS, ERP, computer-aided facility management (CAFM) and mobile field service options against your contracts, sites, budget and goals.

• Digital TransformationWe map how a service request travels from the client to the technician, through materials, sign-off and billing. The roadmap connects your help desk, work order system, HRMS and finance so that each completed job updates SLA reports, costs and invoices without re-entry.
• ERPWe implement ERP for asset registers, spare parts and inventory across stores and vans, purchasing, subcontractor costs and contract-based billing by client and site. A CRM tracks client accounts, tenders, contract renewals and scope changes so your commercial team sees every opportunity and expiry date.
• HRMS / HCMFM workforces are large, shift-based and spread across many sites. We set up an HRMS with site-based rosters, mobile or biometric attendance, overtime and night work rules, WPS payroll and final settlements. Visa, Emirates ID, labour contract and training records are tracked with expiry alerts.
• Digital MarketingMost FM work is won through tenders and long-term relationships. We help you present a clear brand, service catalogue and capability statements, and plan B2B campaigns that reach property managers, developers and procurement teams in the UAE.
• SEOWe optimise your website for searches such as facility management, building maintenance or cleaning services in your city or emirate. Service and sector pages are structured so search engines understand what you offer and where. No rankings are guaranteed.
• Tax & ComplianceFM companies issue high volumes of recurring invoices to corporate, government-related and property clients every month. We assess how e-invoicing will affect these B2B flows, prepare your contract billing data and connect your finance system to an Accredited Service Provider; confirm requirements and timelines with the FTA.

1. 1

   Contract and site review

   We review your contracts, SLAs, sites and service lines to understand how work is requested, performed, reported and billed today.

2. 2

   Process and integration design

   We design how the help desk, work orders, HRMS, inventory and finance will share data, including sites, assets, cost centres and billing rules.

3. 3

   Configuration with your teams

   We configure maintenance schedules, checklists, shift patterns, pay rules and contract billing with your operations, HR and finance managers.

4. 4

   Pilot on selected sites

   We start with a small group of sites or one contract, run parallel checks on attendance, payroll and billing, and refine before wider rollout.

5. 5

   Field and office training

   Short, role-specific training for field and office teams, planned around shift schedules.

• Work order management

  Log, assign and track reactive and planned jobs with priorities, SLA timers, photos and client sign-off.

• Planned preventive maintenance

  Maintenance schedules by asset and site, generated automatically and linked to checklists and spare parts.

• Site-based rostering

  Shift plans, relief cover and attendance by site, feeding overtime and payroll directly.

• Stores and spare parts control

  Stock by warehouse, site store and van, with materials issued against work orders and charged where applicable.

• Contract billing

  Recurring fees, call-outs, materials and variations turned into accurate client invoices by contract and site.

• SLA and performance dashboards

  Open jobs, response and completion times, labour cost and margin by client, contract or site.

• Labour law and WPS

  Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 governs working hours, overtime, rest days, leave and end-of-service benefits, and salaries are paid through WPS under MOHRE. Rules on midday work breaks, accommodation and worker welfare also apply; confirm current requirements with MOHRE.

• VAT and e-invoicing

  FM services are generally subject to 5% VAT. The UAE e-invoicing framework is being introduced in phases, and recurring B2B billing is likely to be affected; confirm the scope and timing for your business with the FTA.

• Personal data protection

  Resident, tenant and employee information collected through help desks, access control and HR systems should be handled in line with Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL) and any sector or free zone rules that apply.

• Health, safety and civil defence

  Building maintenance, fire and life safety systems and site work are subject to health and safety and civil defence requirements. Systems for inspections, permits to work and training records can support compliance; confirm obligations with the relevant authorities.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Regulations change — confirm current requirements with the relevant UAE authority or your adviser.

• Clear SLA performance

  Every job is tracked from request to sign-off, making client reporting faster and easier to evidence.

• Accurate payroll for field teams

  Attendance and rosters feed payroll directly, reducing errors in overtime and WPS payments.

• Faster, more complete billing

  Contract fees, call-outs and materials flow into invoices, so fewer charges are missed and billing goes out sooner.

• Better control of materials

  Stock issued to jobs is recorded, helping reduce leakage and support accurate job costing.

• Stronger contract renewals

  Reliable performance data gives you a clearer case when contracts come up for renewal.
