Dear ZATCA Community,
We are in the process of hiring a new developer to work on the ZATCA Phase 2 integration platform. Our current application is built on Laravel. Could you please provide us with detailed information on the required programming languages and specific developer qualifications needed for this project? Your guidance will help us ensure we find the right candidate with the appropriate skills and expertise.
Thank you for your assistance.
Dear @Shaaz ,
Thanks for reaching out,
You can find all the needed documentation to ensure a successfully integration with ZATCA by reviewing all the educational library shared on ZATCA site especially the technical guideline and the detailed one, Kindly find the below link:
Thanks,
Dear @Shaaz
In my opinion, there are no restrictions on the programming language to be used for developing the ZATCA Phase 2 integration.
What matters most is that the developer understands how your application currently works, has a good understanding of the eInvoice process as per ZATCA guidelines, and can implement the integration efficiently.
However, hiring a developer with experience in the Laravel framework (as it is the foundation of your application) would be a significant advantage.
Dear Lina,
Thank you for your response and for sharing the link to the educational library.
I would like to clarify that I am not part of the development team, and the development of our application is handled by a separate, dedicated team. However, our application development team has informed me that they cannot proceed with the ZATCA integration for Phase 2 as it is outside of their current knowledge and expertise. As per their recommendation, the current team has requested to hire a new, dedicated team specifically for ZATCA implementation and management. They advised me to first obtain the required technical knowledge and details from ZATCA.
Could you please provide more detailed information on the specific technologies, programming languages, and coding skills required for this integration? This will help me ensure that I hire the right team with the relevant expertise for the project.
Your guidance on this matter is greatly appreciated, and I kindly request your urgent assistance.
Thank you for your attention to this request.
Dear @Shaaz,
Thank you for reaching out.
Please note that there are no specific restrictions or requirements regarding programming languages or technologies for integrating with ZATCA Phase 2. The most important aspect is that the hired team has a good understanding of your current system (built on Laravel) and the ability to align with ZATCA’s e-invoicing guidelines.
While this is my view and not tied to any specific programming language or framework, I recommend that the team you hire have the following skills to ensure a successful integration:
• Strong experience with Laravel, given your current application’s foundation.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, JSON, and XML formats, which are commonly used in ZATCA e-invoicing.
• A solid understanding of digital signatures and encryption protocols, as they are crucial for compliance with ZATCA’s security standards.
• Ability to interpret and implement the ZATCA Technical Guidelines, available in the Educational Library.
To support your team in getting started, I suggest they review the resources in the ZATCA Educational Library, which contain comprehensive technical documentation.
If your development team requires further assistance during implementation, please feel free to reach out through ZATCA’s official support channels. I hope this helps clarify your next steps and provides the guidance needed.
Best regards,
