AXION
Platform

Company settings, roles and integrations for every box

Platform is where you set up your company: branches, users, roles and the integrations that connect Axion to the rest of your business. Turn on the boxes you need, connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, your own email domain and your own e-invoicing ASP, and decide who can create, change or delete records as your team grows.

  • Branches as legal entities, each with its own rules
  • Roles and access control, opt-in when you are ready
  • Signed webhooks, Slack, Teams and your own e-invoicing ASP

Platform

Company and branches

The identity every other box builds on.

Company profile

Set your company details and a default currency, used for new branches and invoices.

Branches as legal entities

Each branch has its own legal name, registrations, address, country and currency. Once a branch has posted accounting entries, its country and currency lock.

Attendance geofence per branch

Set a location and a radius from 50 to 5,000 metres for each branch, so a check-in outside it is refused with the distance shown.

Each box standalone or together

Switch on only the boxes you need. A Sales subscription includes Commerce.

Platform

Users, roles and access

Who can sign in, and what they can do once they are in.

Users

Invite people by email, resend an invite, edit their details, and deactivate or reactivate an account.

Roles

Build roles from a permission catalogue and assign them to your users.

Access control

Switch it on when you are ready. It then governs who can create, change and delete in Finance, People, Sales, Commerce, Supply Chain and reporting. It does not restrict what a user can see, and it will not switch on until someone already holds an admin role.

Per-box access

Give each person access to the boxes they need, within the boxes your company runs.

Platform

Integrations and notifications

How Axion talks to the rest of your business.

API keys

Create keys scoped to what they can touch, from 20 scopes across products, pricing, orders, cart, customers, returns, shipping, wishlist, reviews, storefront and leads. Give a key an expiry date, restrict it to an IP allowlist, and rotate it when you need to.

Outgoing webhooks

Subscribe to five events: lead created, lead converted, opportunity won, order created and order confirmed. Each delivery is signed with HMAC SHA-256 so you can verify it came from Axion. Commerce adds its own webhooks for order, payment, return, shipment, customer, subscription and review events.

Slack

Connect a Slack webhook and get a message on lead and order events.

Microsoft Teams

The same lead and order events, posted to a connected Teams webhook.

Zapier and Make

Point a Zapier webhook trigger or a Make webhook module at Axion's signed outgoing webhooks. An in-app guide walks through the setup.

Your own email server

Use your own SMTP server and sending domain, with the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records to add, for lead and web form emails.

Bring your own e-invoicing ASP

Axion is not an accredited service provider. Axion captures all 51 mandatory fields of the UAE e-invoicing data dictionary, produces the PINT AE document, and checks it against the official PINT AE 1.0.4 rules, blocking any document that fails a mandatory check. Connect your own accredited service provider (ASP): enter its API address and key, held encrypted, and Axion hands it each checked document to send to the Federal Tax Authority.

Platform

Ask Axion

One assistant, reachable from every box you run.

One assistant, every box

Ask Axion from Dashboard, Finance, People, Sales, Commerce or Supply Chain, and it answers from your live data.

Read-only, always

Ask Axion answers questions. It never creates, changes or deletes anything.

What it can answer

Leads, pipeline and today's activities in Sales, a finance summary, headcount in People, and stock cover, open purchase orders, shipment status, active alerts, KPIs, driver deliveries and cost, and product search in Supply Chain.

Charts on request

Ask for a trend or a comparison and Ask Axion can draw a bar, line, area or pie chart alongside its answer.

Receipt reading in People

Separate from Ask Axion, People reads a photo of a receipt and fills in the reimbursement claim: amount, date, vendor and category, with manual entry as a fallback.

Platform

Running it day to day

The same conveniences, in every box.

Getting started checklist

Each box opens with a short checklist to help you get set up.

Sample data

Load sample data to try out a box, then clear it again with one click.

Search everywhere

A search bar in every box, Ask Axion or jump to a page, with the command K keyboard shortcut.

One layout

The same layout in every box, so moving between them does not mean relearning the screen.

English and Arabic

Full English and Arabic string coverage, with a right to left layout and a one-click switch.

Light and dark

Switch between light and dark themes.

Branch picker

An all branches picker on every screen, to see the whole group or focus on one.

Frequently asked questions

Are you an accredited service provider for UAE e-invoicing?

No. Axion is not an accredited service provider (ASP). Axion captures all 51 mandatory fields of the UAE e-invoicing data dictionary and produces the PINT AE (UBL 2.1) document, checked against the official PINT AE 1.0.4 rules, and any document that fails a mandatory check is blocked before it goes out. You connect your own accredited service provider, which transmits the document to the Federal Tax Authority.

What can I ask Ask Axion?

Plain questions about your business: leads, pipeline and today's activities in Sales, a finance summary, headcount in People, and stock cover, open purchase orders, shipment status, alerts, KPIs and driver deliveries in Supply Chain. It can draw a chart with its answer. It is read-only by design, so it never creates, changes or deletes anything.

Can I connect Axion to Zapier or Make?

Yes, through Axion's signed outgoing webhooks. Point Zapier's webhook trigger or Make's webhook module at them, and the Integrations page walks you through the setup step by step.

How do roles and access control work?

Build roles from a permission catalogue and assign them to your users, then switch access control on when you are ready. From then on it governs who can create, change and delete records in Finance, People, Sales, Commerce, Supply Chain and reporting, while viewing stays open to signed-in users. It will not switch on until someone already holds an admin role, so you cannot lock yourself out.

Can emails go out from my own domain?

Yes, for lead and web form emails. Connect your own SMTP server and sending domain, and Axion gives you the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records to add to your DNS.

Why do branches have their own legal name and currency?

Each branch is its own legal entity, with its own legal name, registrations, address, country and currency. Finance keeps books per entity, and once a branch has posted accounting entries, its country and currency lock.
