CPX and SpendConsole join forces to deliver first AI-driven, mandate-ready e-invoicing solution across the UAE

Strategic alliance offers end-to-end compliance, cybersecurity assurance and finance automation ahead of the UAE Ministry of Finance’s 2026 e-invoicing mandate

Abu Dhabi, UAE – April 27, 2026: CPX Holding, a leading provider of cutting-edge cyber and physical security solutions and services, and SpendConsole, a global leader in AI-powered finance automation, today announced a strategic partnership to launch the UAE’s first sovereign, mandate-ready e-invoicing platform.

The joint solution enables the UAE’s public and private sector entities to meet the Ministry of Finance’s new e-invoicing regulations, which will enter into voluntary effect on 1 July 2026, before becoming mandatory in phases from 2027.

The UAE’s e-invoicing mandate also establishes a national foundation for real-time financial governance, standardized digital tax compliance and secure data exchange across public and private sectors. This shift gives organizations a unique opportunity to modernize their accounts payable operations, strengthen internal controls and adopt global best practices beyond basic compliance requirements.

The collaboration responds directly to the national shift towards standardized digital invoicing, including incorporating structured XML formats to improve efficiency, reducing manual errors and strengthening tax compliance across B2B and B2G transactions.

Through this partnership, CPX and SpendConsole will provide an integrated solution that enables organizations to meet regulatory requirements while delivering tangible financial benefits to UAE-based finance teams.  The platform combines SpendConsole’s AI-powered finance automation and e-invoicing capabilities with CPX’s cybersecurity assurance, compliance reporting, secure data hosting and continuous SOC monitoring, ensuring audit-ready processes and trusted digital exchanges.

Beyond regulatory compliance, the collaboration aims to support the UAE’s AI and Digital Economy Strategy by accelerating enterprise uptake of AI, strengthening national tax transparency and reducing fraud risk and VAT leakage.  The solution also incorporates embedded payment and treasury capabilities, giving CFOs real-time visibility into cash flow and the ability to optimize working capital as part of their broader finance transformation journey.

"Secure, compliant and intelligent financial systems are essential to building confidence in the UAE’s digital economy and long-term national objectives. Through our collaboration with SpendConsole, we are delivering a cutting-edge solution that combines advanced cybersecurity with AI-driven finance automation. The partnership positions CPX as a trusted enabler of the Ministry of Finance’s e-invoicing mandate while extending our role beyond cybersecurity into enterprise finance transformation," said Hadi Anwar, CEO of CPX.

As a certified Microsoft partner delivering integrated, future‑ready security solutions, this new e‑invoicing platform will be hosted on CPX’s Microsoft Azure tenant, ensuring scalability, robust security, and data sovereignty.

“The UAE’s e-invoicing mandate is a catalyst for transforming how organizations manage payables and financial operations,” said Abid Ali, Founder & CEO of SpendConsole. “Our collaboration with CPX brings together sovereign-grade security and AI-powered automation, enabling organizations to achieve compliance while unlocking measurable improvements in accuracy, productivity and cash-flow performance”

Together, CPX, Microsoft, and SpendConsole deliver a compelling joint value proposition that brings the strengths of AI‑powered fintech, cybersecurity, and cloud technology into a single, trusted e-invoicing solution providing UAE organizations with a mandate-ready solution delivered as a secure and local service.
