Cleaning & facilities services · United Arab Emirates
Cleaning and facilities companies in the UAE live on repeat work — monthly villa contracts, office blocks billed per visit, deep cleans quoted one at a time, and clients who pay 30 or 60 days later. Tallium AI puts your invoicing, VAT, supplies stock, expenses and reports in one app, so a single admin can raise the whole month's billing in an afternoon instead of a week. Every plan includes unlimited users at one flat USD price, so supervisors, accountants and the owner can all be in the system without paying per seat.

Key takeaways
Most of your revenue is recurring: the same towers, villas, clinics and offices, at the same agreed rate. But if those invoices live in a spreadsheet or a Word template, someone retypes them all at month-end — copying TRNs, service periods and site addresses by hand. One tired evening and a client gets last month's dates, the wrong emirate address or a rate you raised in January but never applied.
A team does an emergency carpet extraction on a Friday, a supervisor drops off extra bin liners and hand soap at a site, someone works four hours of overtime for a move-out clean. It gets agreed on WhatsApp and then forgotten. By the time you invoice, nobody can prove what happened, so you either bill it and argue or absorb it — and in a business with thin margins, absorbing it is what usually happens.
Total revenue looks fine, but you cannot tell that the labour camp contract is barely breaking even once you count chemicals, machine hire and the two extra staff you send. Cleaning costs sit in three places — staff, supplies, transport — and if they are never matched back to a site, you keep renewing the contracts that quietly lose money and underprice the next tender the same way.
Every quarter you hunt for supplier invoices for chemicals, uniforms, fuel and equipment to work out input VAT, while output VAT depends on invoices scattered across a laptop and someone's email. Meanwhile the store cupboard runs on guesswork — you run out of floor cleaner mid-week and pay retail prices, or you find twelve unopened boxes of a chemical nobody uses.
Set each client up once with their rate, service period, TRN and site details, then let Tallium AI generate the monthly run for you. You review, adjust anything unusual and send — as a proper tax invoice in AED with VAT shown line by line. Rate changes are made in one place and carried forward, so a price increase actually reaches every invoice instead of the three you remembered.
Supervisors log extra visits, overtime and materials issued to a site from the mobile app on the day, not at month-end. Those lines wait against the client and drop straight onto the next invoice with a date and description attached, so when a facilities manager questions a charge you can point to exactly when the work was done and what was used.
Because supplies, staff-related costs and revenue all sit in the same system, reports show what each client and each site is really earning you. You can see gross margin by contract before a renewal meeting, spot the sites where chemical consumption is climbing, and price your next tender on real numbers rather than a gut feeling and a round-up.
Snap supplier invoices for chemicals, fuel and equipment with your phone and AI reads and categorises them, so input VAT is recorded as you spend rather than reconstructed later. Sales VAT builds automatically from your invoices, and store cupboard stock moves down as materials are issued to jobs — giving you a VAT return summary and a reorder list without a weekend of digging. Confirm current rules and rates with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) or a qualified local tax professional.
Recurring contract billing, one-off deep clean invoices and quotes in AED, with VAT and your TRN presented correctly on every tax invoice.
Double-entry books that keep themselves up to date from your invoices, expenses and payments — no separate bookkeeping file to reconcile.
Output and input VAT tracked as you trade, with figures ready for your VAT201 filing period and a full audit trail behind every number.
Live stock for chemicals, consumables, uniforms and equipment, with materials issued to a site recorded against that contract.
Profit by client and site, aged receivables so you can chase 60-day payers, and consumption trends that show where costs are creeping.
