Business Operating System

The Business Operating System.

EXO NODES runs every business on standardised Business Operations and Business Processes, specialised for each business activity, so every operation can be monitored and controlled from one place, on one record.

How it is organised

One system, five tiers deep.

Every business on EXO NODES is described the same way: the system, its Business Operations, the Business Processes inside them, the business activity that specialises them, and the controls over all of it.

  1. Tier 01

    Business Operating System

    One system and one record for the whole business: every operation, every process, one ledger.

    • EXO NODES
  2. Tier 02

    7 Business Operations

    The standard areas every business runs, the same in every company that uses EXO NODES.

    • CCO
    • SCM
    • FIN
    • HCM
    • GOV
    • EXE
    • ESM
  3. Tier 03

    74 Business Processes

    Each operation is broken into named processes with a short code, so you always know what is switched on.

    • POS
    • SLS
    • INV
    • PROC
    • FI
    • AR
    • AP
    • TAX
    • PAY
    • AUD
  4. Tier 04

    Business Activities

    Your trade-licence activity decides which processes, documents and terms switch on: specialised, never forked.

    • AG-01 Restaurants & cafés
    • AG-05 Retail stores
    • AG-07 Salons, spa & wellness
    • AG-10 Laundry & dry cleaning
  5. Tier 05

    Monitoring & Controls

    Who can do what, what needs approval, what is locked, and an audit trail for every regulated change.

    • Roles
    • Approvals
    • Period lock
    • Audit trail
    • Day-end close
Standard and specialised

Standard where it should be, specialised where it matters.

The core is identical for every business. Your business activity then switches on the processes, documents and terms your trade needs, inside the same system, never a separate copy.

Standard

The same core in every business

Books, tax, sales, stock, customers and controls work the same way for everyone, so reports compare and auditors recognise them.

  • AR
  • AP
  • TAX

  • INV
  • SLS
  • CRM
  • IAM

  • AUD

Seven layers

Built in layers, on one record.

Each layer does one job and reads and writes the same data as the others. Operate is the foundation; the layers above it bring work in, do it, automate it, connect it, report on it and take it back out to customers.

OS04 · AI Workforce

Agents with a job, not a chat window.

AI agents work in the native modules: the same customers, invoices and ledger your team uses. There is no outside system to connect first, and no step that skips a person.

  1. 01

    Agent proposes

    Reads a bill, drafts an invoice, answers a question.

  2. 02

    Person approves

    Sees exactly what will be written, then approves.

  3. 03

    Native module writes

    The record lands in EXO NODES and posts to the books.

  4. 04

    Audit records it

    Who asked, which agent, who approved, when.

Approval queue

Nothing the AI drafts is written until a person approves it.

Audit log

Every AI action is logged with the person who approved it.

Monthly AI budget

When a company’s budget is used up, AI stops. It never bills past it.

Kill switch

AI can be switched off for one company or for everyone, instantly.

Here today

  • The in-app copilot: ask about your own business data in plain language.
  • The AI Accountant: reads supplier bills from PDF and drafts invoices for you to approve.

Organisation model

Shaped like your business.

A group can hold several companies, each with its own TRN and books. A company runs branches; a branch has revenue centers, and each center has its registers. Reports roll up at every level.

L1Group

Your business as a whole, across its companies and countries.

L2Company× one or more

A legal entity in one country: its own TRN and its own set of books.

L3Branch× many per company

A physical site: a restaurant, a shop, a warehouse.

L4Revenue center× many per branch

An area that sells inside a branch: dining room, bar, terrace, takeaway.

L5Register× many per center

A till or device that takes the sale.

Compliance foundation

Under every module, from day one.

These are part of the data model, not add-ons. They apply on every plan, including the free one.

  • UAE VAT

    TRN on every tax document, VAT categories in the data model and the VAT-201 return filled from posted entries.

  • E-invoicing

    Invoices are built to the PINT AE format, ready for an accredited provider.

  • Bilingual documents

    The seller name prints in English and Arabic on every tax invoice.

  • Offline-first POS

    The till keeps selling with no internet and syncs safely when it reconnects.

  • Company isolation

    Every record belongs to one company. Another company’s data is simply not there.
