Digitise and automate, then show the proof

Qatar National Vision 2030 includes digital transformation and more efficient operations. Tag’n’Track is the platform that digitises and automates the work behind that: asset and stock registers, receiving and dispatch, maintenance checks, document custody and workforce access, all on one live record. Below are the rules and standards that matter most in Qatar, and how the platform helps you meet and show them.

Rules and standards, and how we help

1. National vision and digital programme

The rule: Qatar National Vision 2030 is delivered through the Third National Development Strategy (2024–2030). The Digital Agenda 2030 is its national roadmap for digital transformation.

How Tag’n’Track helps: One live record of assets, stock, files and people, with scan-based counts and approvals, so digital transformation reaches the shop floor and the store room.

2. E-invoicing

The rule: In May 2026 the Council of Ministers approved a draft e-invoicing law and implementing regulations. They still need to be enacted, so check the General Tax Authority for the final timeline.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Your ERP or invoicing system issues the e-invoice. Tag’n’Track gives it accurate, live stock and asset data, so what you invoice matches what you hold.

3. Radio equipment approval

The rule: The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) approves radio and telecom equipment. Importing and selling it needs CRA authorisation, and short-range devices follow the CRA’s class licence.

How Tag’n’Track helps: We confirm the approval status of readers and tags before they are ordered, so hardware is cleared before it ships.

4. Personal data

The rule: Law No. 13 of 2016 on personal data privacy sets rules on consent, safeguards and cross-border transfers. Sources differ on which body currently supervises it, so check the official source.

How Tag’n’Track helps: You decide what is collected, and attendance, visitor and access data can stay on infrastructure you choose. Your legal team confirms the transfer rules.

5. Cybersecurity

The rule: The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) publishes the National Information Assurance Standard and certifies organisations that meet it. Reports describe it as mandatory for government entities and key sectors.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Choose cloud, hybrid or on-premise hosting and give each role the access it needs, so your security team can map the platform to the controls that apply to you.

6. International standards

The rule: Many organisations in the region also work to ISO 55001 (asset management), ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) and the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (EPC Gen2) standard for UHF RFID.

How Tag’n’Track helps: Tag’n’Track provides the asset records, history and standard-based tracking these frameworks rely on. Certification stays with you and your auditor.
