Plex itself does not generate FTA‑compliant e‑invoices directly. However, with an accredited ASP (e.g., Bizintek, AVASK), you can integrate Plex billing data to produce PINT AE XML invoices, submit them in real‑time, and retain 5‑year records. Our partners ensure seamless integration between Plex and your chosen ASP, meeting all UAE e‑invoicing and VAT requirements.

Plex does not directly generate FTA‑compliant e‑invoices. However, by integrating with an accredited ASP (Accredited Service Provider), Plex invoice data can be transformed into PINT AE XML, submitted in real time, and stored for 5 years. Our partners manage this integration seamlessly.
Automotive & suppliers, aerospace & defense, food & beverage, medical devices, industrial machinery, and high‑tech electronics. Its unified ERP+MES+QMS is ideal for regulated, high‑traceability sectors.
Plex’s interface is primarily English, but local partners can provide Arabic reporting and training. For full RTL support, a layer or customisation may be needed; we can advise based on your workforce needs.
We independently assess your manufacturing requirements, match you with certified Plex partners (Rockwell Automation channel), and provide vendor‑neutral oversight, SRS preparation, and project governance.
