Redington Limited is a leading IT technology solutions provider across Technology, Mobility, Telecom, Cloud, Lifestyle and Solar verticals. It has a footprint across 38 markets including 60 subsidiary offices, more than 200 warehouses, 290 brand associations and 39,500+ partner channels.
Redington is Infinite IT’s existing customer prior to KSA e-Invoicing where projects for data automation has been delivered for Carrefour UAE orders + control lists, and Lulu UAE for orders.
When wave 1 (pilot) companies were announced by ZATCA for integration phase 2 roll-out, Redington sought Infinite’s expertise to help them comply with KSA’s mandated requirements. All of which lead to the fruitful collaboration for such project.
Redington was only able to generate ZATCA phase 1 compliant invoices. They were unable to generate the additional technical elements and requirements for phase 2 such as UBL, UUID, cryptographic stamp, and secured hash. They were also unable to send their invoices to ZATCA and retrieve their response (which should contain the new QR code with all additional elements) after validation and clearance.
Process-wise, Redington only has to send existing phase 1 compliant invoices to Infinite, where the solution/middleware will convert such into Phase 2 compliant invoices – thus affixing required technical elements and validating all the mandatory fields through its replica ZATCA validation engine, and then sending over 5,500 B2B tax invoices and over 1,300 B2C simplified invoices to ZATCA for clearance and reporting.
Once the solution receives a response from ZATCA, it is then shared with Redington through a dedicated portal with all the required elements (QR code, signature, status, etc.)
