OCTA + Wafeq integration — Automate Receivables & Collections

Category: Accounting Software

Integrate OCTA with Wafeq to automate invoicing, payment collections, and reconciliation for businesses across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Wafeq is the accounting platform of choice for thousands of GCC companies because it handles regional requirements — Arabic-language invoices, UAE VAT and Saudi ZATCA e-invoicing compliance — out of the box. OCTA extends that foundation with the piece Wafeq does not cover: getting invoices paid. The moment an invoice is issued in Wafeq, OCTA pulls it via secure API and enrolls it in a collection workflow tuned to that customer's payment history, following up over email, SMS, and WhatsApp — the channel that actually gets responses in the Gulf. When money lands, OCTA reconciles the payment back to the matching Wafeq invoice automatically, so your ledger stays audit-ready without a bookkeeper re-keying anything. Accounting firms and SME finance teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh use the pairing to cut days sales outstanding without hiring a dedicated collections person.

What the Wafeq integration does

  • Invoice Sync: Every invoice raised in Wafeq flows into OCTA automatically within minutes — including amounts, due dates, customer contacts, and VAT details — so your collection queue is always current without exports or manual entry. Edits made in Wafeq, such as revised due dates or partial credits, propagate to OCTA on the next sync.
  • Payment Tracking: See the live status of every receivable in one dashboard: sent, viewed, promised, partially paid, or settled. OCTA tracks payments received through its own payment links as well as bank transfers you record in Wafeq, giving finance managers a single source of truth for cash coming in.
  • Reconciliation to Wafeq: When a customer pays, OCTA marks the corresponding Wafeq invoice as paid and records the amount, date, and reference automatically. No double entry, no end-of-month matching marathon — the Wafeq ledger reflects reality the same day funds clear.
  • Multi-channel Reminders: Send automated payment reminders via email, SMS, and WhatsApp Business, in English or Arabic, on a schedule that escalates politely as invoices age. Sequences pause automatically when a customer pays or replies, so no one gets chased for an invoice they have already settled.
