PROJECT STAGES & DELIVERABLES

What happens at each stage?

Some work can run at the same time. The schedule depends on your records, transactions and the availability of your team and providers.

01

Assess

Readiness gaps

A review of company, customer, supplier and invoice information, with the gaps and priorities recorded.

02

Plan

An agreed implementation plan

The system approach, transaction coverage, responsibilities and schedule for the work.

03

Prepare

Data and process preparation

An agreed correction list and review of how your team creates, receives and follows up invoices.

04

Connect

ASP registration and software setup

Support with provider appointment and setup, plus any separately agreed work to connect your systems.

05

Test

Testing results and staff training

Checks using your agreed transaction scenarios, a record of issues, practical training and a readiness report.

06

Launch

Launch support and handover

An agreed transition, user guidance and clear responsibilities for daily operations and escalation.

07

Support

Ongoing reviews, where agreed

Optional support and periodic reviews to address recurring issues and changes in the business.

YOUR ACTUAL TRANSACTIONS

Prepare for more than the standard sales invoice.

Sending and receiving

Cover customer invoices and credit notes, together with incoming supplier bills and the checks your team needs.

Your business scenarios

Consider deposits, returns, recurring billing, exports, foreign currencies and other arrangements relevant to your business.

When something goes wrong

Agree how failures, delays and unresolved items will be recognised and who will coordinate a response.

WORKING WITH YOUR TEAM

Clear responsibilities from the start.

FACT can coordinate with your accountant, finance team, software support contacts and ASP. Your team provides the agreed records, makes business decisions and participates in testing. Specialist software work and provider services are confirmed in the scope.

We assess your current system first. Where suitable, we use its supported connection or assess a connection built for your business. Moving systems is considered where the existing setup cannot meet the agreed requirements.

AFTER LAUNCH

Keep improving the way the system works.

Support as you start

The standard Zoho Books service includes 30 days of support during business hours, with extra help in the first week. Other routes have agreed support arrangements.

Optional annual reviews

A separately agreed annual service can include monthly operational reviews, quarterly checks and an annual assessment, with findings and follow-up actions.

Continuity as you grow

Documentation and trained users reduce dependence on one person. Periodic reviews can help assess new companies, software changes and new transaction types.

Standard support hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UAE time. Software development, data collection, additional companies and expanded support are agreed separately.
