• Small and mid-sized companies wanting a structured ERP

  Trading, distribution and light manufacturing companies replacing spreadsheets or basic accounting with a full ERP often evaluate SAP Business One for its combination of finance, inventory and production.

• Large organisations with complex operations

  Enterprises with several plants, large warehouses, detailed costing or extensive procurement controls typically consider SAP S/4HANA.

• Companies already running older SAP systems

  Businesses on earlier SAP ERP releases may be planning a move to SAP S/4HANA and need an independent view of scope, approach and timing.

• Employers wanting enterprise HR processes

  Mid-sized and large employers that want consistent HR, performance and learning processes across entities may look at SAP SuccessFactors.

• Subsidiaries of international groups

  UAE subsidiaries of groups that use SAP at headquarters often need to decide between the group template and a lighter local solution such as SAP Business One.

• 01

  Requirement analysis and product fit

  We document your processes, entities, volumes and reporting needs, then assess whether SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA or another platform is the right scale for you today and as you grow.

• 02

  Comparison with other platforms

  We compare SAP with alternatives such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle, Odoo or Sage on your requirements, the internal skills you have and the effort involved in running each.

• 03

  Connecting you with the right implementation team and people

  SAP Business One, S/4HANA and SuccessFactors projects need different specialists. We help you find and evaluate the right implementation team and people for the product and your industry, and review proposals and scope with you.

• 04

  S/4HANA move planning

  If you run an older SAP system, we help you understand the options for moving to SAP S/4HANA, the data and customisation questions involved, and how to phase the work.

• 05

  Data migration

  We plan the migration of master data, balances, open documents and, for SuccessFactors, employee records, with cleansing, trial loads and sign-off on reconciliations.

• 06

  Integrations

  We help scope integrations between SAP and banks, e-commerce channels, warehouse systems, payroll providers and, when required, your accredited e-invoicing service provider.

• 07

  Training and support

  We help organise role-based training and key users, then stay involved after go-live for issues, enhancements and periodic reviews as your business and regulations change.

• VAT on transactions and returns

  VAT at 5% must be correctly calculated, shown on compliant tax invoices and reported to the Federal Tax Authority. We check how UAE VAT is configured in your SAP product and test it with your typical transactions, including imports and free zone scenarios your advisor identifies.

• Corporate Tax readiness

  UAE Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 applies at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with registration and filing through EmaraTax. We help structure company codes, accounts and reporting so tax-relevant figures can be produced per entity.

• E-invoicing readiness

  The UAE is rolling out mandatory e-invoicing in phases through accredited service providers using a Peppol-based model, with timelines announced in stages. We help assess how your SAP system will produce and exchange structured invoices.

• Payroll, WPS and Arabic

  UAE salaries are paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS), and gratuity and leave follow the UAE Labour Law. We confirm UAE payroll and WPS coverage for SAP SuccessFactors, and we confirm Arabic support for your edition of each SAP product.

• Advice boundaries

  Rules and deadlines should be confirmed with the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance or a tax advisor. 406 Technologies provides the system side, not tax or legal advice.
