Subscription sites that bill Dubai employers by headcount, site and device.

Codeeo builds employee attendance subscription website development Dubai software companies need to sell their attendance product online. Employers choose a plan, pay by card or invoice, add terminals and sites, and grow or shrink headcount without calling sales. We build the pricing pages, checkout, per employee billing, hardware add-ons, VAT invoices, renewal recovery and the account area where HR managers handle all of it themselves.

Attendance software is awkward to bill. Headcount changes every month as staff join and leave, devices are sold once while software renews, and groups often run several trade licences. The billing has to follow that reality, or your finance team ends up correcting invoices by hand.

Built for
Attendance and workforce software companies in Dubai selling monthly or annual plans to employers across the UAE and the GCC.
Typical timeline
Agreed after a workshop in Dubai that fixes your billing unit, hardware policy, plan structure and how current customers move onto the new platform.

What the subscription platform includes

Billing that moves with headcount, sites and terminals.

A small Dubai restaurant group with forty staff and a facilities company with three thousand workers spread across labour accommodation and project sites both buy attendance software, but they buy it in different ways. The restaurant owner wants to pay by card tonight and start clocking staff tomorrow. The facilities company wants a quote, a purchase order, monthly invoices to two legal entities and the right to add workers mid-month without a new contract. Your subscription platform has to serve both from the same product. The parts below cover plan design, counting billable employees, selling hardware alongside software, charging correctly when things change mid-cycle, collecting failed payments without locking out a workforce, and producing invoices your finance team and your customers' auditors will accept. Each one is built around your pricing decisions rather than forcing a generic SaaS model on an attendance business.

Explain your project
  • Pricing pages employers understand

    Plans set out by active employee, by site or by feature tier, with a calculator where an HR manager enters headcount and number of locations and sees the monthly or annual figure before tax. Feature comparisons explain geofencing, face clocking, shift rules and payroll exports in plain terms. Arabic versions mirror the English plans exactly, so a quote forwarded between colleagues never shows two different prices.

    Buyers price their own plan without waiting for a quote.

  • Active employee counting

    The billing layer reads active employee counts from your attendance platform on an agreed date or as a monthly peak, with rules for leavers, people on long leave and seasonal staff. Every invoice line links back to a dated headcount snapshot the customer can download. Disputed counts can be flagged from the account area for your team to review before the invoice is final.

    Headcount charges customers can check and accept.

  • Hardware and software in one order

    Terminals, card readers and installation sold as one-off items in the same checkout as the software plan, with delivery details captured for each site. Rental of devices on a monthly fee is also possible if your policy allows it, with return terms set at the point of sale. Installation slots are offered by area, so a customer in Jebel Ali and one in Deira each see realistic dates.

    One order covers devices and the subscription that runs them.

  • Proration and true-ups

    When a customer adds a site, upgrades a tier or brings on a new batch of workers mid-cycle, charges are calculated pro rata. Annual customers can receive a quarterly true-up instead, so a contractor that grows sharply during a project pays for actual use without monthly invoice noise. Credits for downgrades are applied to the next invoice rather than refunded, unless your terms say otherwise.

    Fair charges for growth without manual calculation.

  • Free trials if you choose to offer them

    A trial is a product setting, not a requirement. If you offer one, it can be limited by days, headcount or devices, with card capture optional, reminders before it ends and a clean switch to a paid plan that keeps all attendance records collected so far.

    Trial users convert without losing their data.

  • Payments for UAE businesses

    Card payments with 3D Secure, Apple Pay for owners paying from a phone, saved cards for renewals, and invoice payment by bank transfer for larger accounts with purchase orders. The gateway is chosen with you during discovery from providers licensed to operate in the UAE. Annual prepayment and multi-year terms can be offered where your finance team wants them.

    Small and large employers can both pay the way they expect.

  • Renewal recovery without lockouts

    Failed renewals trigger timed retries and reminders by email and WhatsApp in Arabic or English, with a secure link to update card details. During a grace period clocking continues, so workers are still recorded, while reports and exports are paused until payment clears. Your team sees a list of accounts at risk each morning, with the reason each payment failed.

    Payment problems never leave a site with no attendance record.

  • VAT invoices and e-invoicing readiness

    UAE tax invoices showing your tax registration number, separate lines for hardware, software and installation, and credit notes for downgrades. Invoice data is structured so it can pass to the accredited service provider you appoint for the UAE e-invoicing programme, and sync to Zoho Books, Xero or Odoo. Invoices are issued in Arabic and English where customers ask for both.

    Finance closes the month without reissuing invoices.

  • Group and multi-entity accounts

    One parent account with several billing entities, for example a mainland company and a free zone company in the same group, each with its own trade licence details, invoice address and cost centre. HR sees all sites together while finance receives separate invoices. Purchase order numbers can be required per entity, so invoices are not rejected by the customer's accounts team.

    Groups buy once and bill each entity correctly.

  • Self-serve account area

    HR and finance users change plans, add sites, order devices, download invoices and headcount reports, update payment methods and cancel. Cancellation includes an export of all attendance records, because employers must keep them after they leave your service. Each user action is logged, so finance can see who changed a plan and when.

    Routine account changes handled without your support team.

Who this is for

Four attendance software sellers we build billing for.

Employee attendance SaaS website development Dubai vendors ask us for varies with their customer base and how far they have come with self-serve sales. These four situations cover most of them, and each changes which features we build first. Some need a full employee attendance subscription platform development Dubai project with resellers and multi-entity billing; others need a clean pricing page and checkout first.

01

A software company selling only through sales calls

Every customer today gets a quote, a contract and an invoice made by hand. You want smaller employers to buy online while keeping the sales route for large accounts. We build public plans for up to a headcount you choose, card checkout and an account area, and keep a request a quote route above that level. Existing customers are moved onto the platform in batches, with their current prices honoured until renewal. Sales staff still see every account in one place and can apply negotiated prices where needed.

Self-serve for small accounts, sales for large ones.

02

A hardware distributor adding software plans

You have sold terminals for years and now offer cloud attendance software on subscription. Customers expect to buy devices and software together, and many already own your hardware. We build a checkout that recognises existing devices, sells new ones as one-off items and links each device to the right subscription so support knows what each customer runs. Device warranties and replacement orders are visible in the same account, so customers do not need a separate portal for hardware.

03

A vendor selling across the GCC from Dubai

You sell to employers in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar as well as the UAE. Currency, tax treatment and invoice formats differ by country, and Saudi customers may need invoices that fit ZATCA rules. We build the tax and currency logic your adviser confirms for each market into one platform, with Arabic first checkout available where buyers prefer it. Plan pages can show local currency while your books stay in dirhams, if your adviser recommends that approach.

Tax rules confirmed by your adviser, then built in.

04

A platform sold through resellers

IT resellers and HR consultancies sell your attendance product to their own clients. They need to create client accounts, set retail prices and either bill clients themselves or have you bill clients directly with commission tracked. A partner portal handles both models and keeps each reseller's clients separated from the others. Wholesale invoices to resellers and direct invoices to end customers can run side by side during a transition.

Questions attendance software companies ask about subscription billing.

Pricing pages, checkout, recurring billing, invoices and a self-serve account area.

We build the public plan pages and calculator, the checkout for software and hardware, the billing that counts employees and charges changes pro rata, renewal recovery, VAT invoices, accounting sync and the account area for HR and finance users. Your attendance platform itself stays as it is; we connect to it for headcount and account status. Dubai vendors who already run a basic payment link usually keep their gateway, and we build around it where it supports recurring charges.
