The Problem

What your team's day looks like - with and without Eshal.

Without Eshal
Finance inbox: 30 "when is my salary?" messages every pay day - before 9am.
Vendor calls AP weekly to check if their AED 48,500 invoice was received.
Employee submits expense claim - waits 5 days to know if it was approved.
New vendor submits invoice without PO number - AP chases for 2 hours.
Month-end: finance team is answering status queries instead of closing books.
Arabic-speaking vendors can't self-serve - they call the team directly.

Live Workflow

Invoice query resolved in 12 seconds - AP team not involved.

A vendor messages at 7pm asking about their AED 48,500 invoice. By 7:00:12pm they have the full status, payment date, and remittance details. Your AP team finds out in the morning via a digest - not a phone call.

Zero AP involvement. Invoice status, payment date, and bank confirmation all from ERP - automatically.
Disputes escalated with context. When a vendor contests a payment, Eshal creates a ticket with the contract clause and full conversation already attached.
Arabic-native. Gulf Arabic vendors get the same instant, accurate service as English-speaking ones.

FAQ

Finance & Operations AI - common questions

Yes. Eshal includes built-in UAE Labour Law Article 51 gratuity calculation - employees receive an accurate calculation with the methodology explained, including the correct rate for years 1–5 and above 5. Saudi Arabia labour law calculations are also built in. All calculations include a disclaimer that final amounts are confirmed by HR/Finance at termination.
Eshal connects to SAP S/4HANA, Oracle ERP, Microsoft Dynamics, and QuickBooks via secure API. Invoice records are read-only - Eshal retrieves status and payment information but never modifies ERP data without explicit human approval. Setup takes under a day for most ERP systems.
Eshal explains the payment using the relevant contract clause (identifying the source automatically), sends the explanation to the vendor, and if the vendor still disputes, creates a detailed ticket for your AP manager with the full conversation, contract reference, and vendor's specific concern - pre-packaged for resolution.
Yes. Eshal differentiates between employee channels (WhatsApp personal, intranet) and vendor channels (WhatsApp Business, supplier portal). Each has its own workflow, tone, and data access level - employees can't access vendor payment data and vice versa.
