Security services · United Arab Emirates
Running a security company in the UAE means invoicing dozens of client sites every month, each with its own guard count, shift pattern, overtime and contract rate — and every invoice has to carry the right VAT treatment and your TRN. Tallium AI keeps contract billing, expenses, equipment stock and VAT-ready accounting in one app, so your admin team stops rebuilding the same spreadsheet at the end of every month. One flat price in USD, unlimited users, and no per-seat fees for your operations, HR and finance staff.

Key takeaways
Guard hours arrive from site supervisors on WhatsApp, paper duty rosters and half-finished spreadsheets. Someone has to total shifts per site, add overtime and public holiday rates, then retype it all into an invoice template. By the time the invoices go out, you are already ten days into the next billing cycle and cash is stuck.
A client adds two guards for a mall promotion, drops one from a warehouse gate, or switches a site from 8-hour to 12-hour shifts. If the rate card lives in one person's spreadsheet, the change gets missed and you either under-bill for weeks or issue a credit note and lose the client's trust.
Standard-rated security services, designated zone clients, reimbursed costs like uniforms and vehicle fuel — each is handled differently, and a wrong line on an invoice becomes a wrong figure on your VAT return. Cleaning it up before filing means going back through hundreds of invoices by hand.
Body cameras, radios, torches, uniforms and guard vehicles get issued to sites and never come back. Without a record of what went where, you re-purchase kit you already own, and the cost quietly erodes the margin on contracts you priced tightly.
Set up each client site once with its guard count, shift rate, overtime rate and billing cycle. Tallium AI generates the recurring invoice on schedule, so your admin team reviews and adjusts rather than retypes. Invoices go out on day one of the month instead of day ten, which pulls your collections forward by over a week.
Update headcount or the rate card against the site record and the next invoice picks it up automatically, with a history of what changed and when. Supervisors, operations and finance all work from the same live figures because every plan includes unlimited users — no extra licence to add a coordinator.
Tag each service line with the correct VAT treatment and your TRN sits on every tax invoice. Tallium AI totals output and input VAT as you go and produces the figures you need for your VAT return (VAT201), with the detail behind each number ready if the FTA asks. The UAE E-Invoicing System (Peppol) is rolling out — confirm current rules and your own obligations with the FTA or a local tax professional.
Log uniforms, radios, cameras and consumables as inventory and record what is issued to which site. You see what is out, what is due back and what genuinely needs reordering, so equipment spend stops being a surprise line in your year-end accounts.
Recurring contract invoices per site, with guard counts, shift rates, overtime and reimbursable costs on separate lines — issued on schedule with your TRN and VAT applied.
Full double-entry books behind the invoicing: client receipts, staff and vehicle costs, supplier bills and per-contract profitability, all updating as you work.
Standard-rated, zero-rated and out-of-scope handling on every line, with running output and input VAT totals and a clear breakdown for your VAT201 return.
Uniforms, radios, body cameras and consumables tracked by item and by site, so you know what has been issued, what is on hand and what to reorder.
Receipts scanned and categorised automatically, plus plain-English flags on unpaid contract invoices, rising site costs and margins slipping on specific clients.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
