B2B Software Consulting in Dublin
Dublin is the EU’s one-stop-shop city: the Data Protection Commission is lead supervisory authority for much of US big tech, and Revenue runs real-time PAYE payroll. ERPStack builds Dublin ERP and CRM systems remote-first on AWS eu-west-1, ready for the November 2028 eInvoicing phase.
Quick Answer
In short: a Dublin ERP answers to the Data Protection Commission as GDPR lead authority, to Revenue payroll reporting on or before each pay date, and to the November 2028 eInvoicing phase. ERPStack builds it on PostgreSQL in AWS eu-west-1, three Availability Zones and roughly 7 ms across Dublin, with DORA controls for finance clients.
Regional Compliance
- GDPR under the Data Protection Act 2018, lead authority the DPC
- Revenue eInvoicing phase one from November 2028 (EN 16931) in the ERP
- PAYE real-time reporting to ROS on or before each pay date
- DORA operational resilience for finance and insurance clients
- Central Bank of Ireland outsourcing register held in PostgreSQL
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance controls for biotech and healthcare
Security & Compliance Architecture
Irish rules bite an ERP through three channels: the Data Protection Commission, Revenue’s real-time filings, and the Central Bank of Ireland for Dublin finance and insurance clients.
The DPC sets the transfer bar
Its €530 million TikTok decision of 2 May 2025 — €485 million under Article 46(1) — turned on failure to verify equivalent protection abroad. A Dublin ERP therefore stores every transfer assessment as GDPR-scoped PostgreSQL rows under RBAC, queryable during an inquiry.Revenue runs payroll in real time
PAYE Modernisation has required a submission through ROS on or before each pay date since 2019, and Enhanced Reporting Requirements added benefit reporting from 1 January 2024. A Dublin ERP makes each payroll run an Immutable Audit Trail entry in PostgreSQL, so corrections are new submissions.Auto-enrolment is now an ERP calculation
My Future Fund began on 1 January 2026 under NAERSA for employees aged 23 to 60 earning over €20,000, capped on €80,000 of gross pay. Dublin payroll modules hold eligibility as dated PostgreSQL rules in TypeScript, because mid-year threshold crossings apply retrospectively.DORA makes outsourcing queryable
DORA has applied since 17 January 2025 over Central Bank of Ireland guidance issued in December 2021. A Dublin ERP for finance, insurance or aircraft-leasing clients holds every ICT provider, criticality rating and exit plan as PostgreSQL rows under RBAC.Validated systems for Dublin biotech
Dublin biotech and healthcare manufacturers need FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance: attributable, time-stamped records and signatures. We deliver append-only PostgreSQL tables, RBAC and CI/CD Deployment Pipelines in GitHub Actions that emit the installation evidence a qualification pack expects.
Engineering Blueprint
Dublin is where EU privacy enforcement starts and EU e-invoicing arrives last. A Dublin ERP or CRM must survive GDPR scrutiny from the Data Protection Commission now while staging for Revenue’s November 2028 eInvoicing phase — two very different clocks.
Transfers are columns, not clauses
Because the DPC leads supervision for so many US groups, a Dublin ERP is audited on transfer mechanics before anything else. We keep recipient jurisdiction, GDPR legal basis and assessment date on the row itself in PostgreSQL, enforced with RBAC and surfaced through one REST API rather than a policy annexe.
-- PostgreSQL: per-row transfer evidence, readable under RBAC
create policy transfer_scope on customer_record
using (jurisdiction = current_setting('app.tenant_jurisdiction'));
alter table customer_record
add column transfer_basis text not null default 'eu-us-dpf',
add column tia_reviewed_on date not null;Dublin infrastructure and the 2028 stage
AWS eu-west-1 is Ireland’s own region with three Availability Zones, enabled by default rather than opt-in, and Microsoft Azure North Europe sits here too — so a Dublin ERP needs no residency compromise, unlike Amsterdam where AWS runs no region. Revenue’s phase one lands November 2028 and every Irish business must already receive EN 16931 invoices, so we build the receive path first in PostgreSQL and let Drizzle ORM migrations switch issuing on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Later than most of the EU. Revenue published its VAT Modernisation plan on 8 October 2025 with Budget 2026: phase one November 2028 for VAT-registered large corporates, phase two November 2029 for intra-EU traders, phase three July 2030 under ViDA. A Dublin ERP needs an EN 16931 receive path in PostgreSQL before Dublin logistics and finance teams worry about issuing.
Because the Data Protection Commission is lead supervisory authority for the EU establishments of much of US big tech, cross-border complaints route through Dublin. The DPC fined TikTok €530 million on 2 May 2025 — €485 million under Article 46(1) — and ordered transfers suspended absent compliance. A Dublin ERP and CRM get their GDPR transfer columns in PostgreSQL audited first.
AWS Europe (Ireland) is eu-west-1 with three Availability Zones, enabled by default rather than opt-in, and Microsoft Azure North Europe is also in Ireland. That makes Dublin one of the few EU capitals where in-country residency needs no compromise — unlike Amsterdam, where AWS runs no region at all. We still peer rather than assume latency.
Buy the ledger, build the edges. Oracle NetSuite or SAP handles statutory accounts for a Dublin finance or insurance firm perfectly well; what it does not model is investor allocation, aircraft lease schedules under IFRS 16, or the DORA evidence a Central Bank of Ireland inspection wants. That layer is where a custom ERP on PostgreSQL pays for itself.
A submission to Revenue on or before every pay date, not a monthly summary. PAYE Modernisation has run since 2019 through ROS, and Enhanced Reporting Requirements added real-time benefit reporting from 1 January 2024. A Dublin ERP records each payroll run as an Immutable Audit Trail entry in PostgreSQL under RBAC, which Dublin finance and insurance employers need at scale.
It adds a statutory deduction the ERP must compute itself. My Future Fund started on 1 January 2026, administered by NAERSA, covering employees aged 23 to 60 earning over €20,000, with contributions capped on €80,000 of gross pay. A Dublin ERP models eligibility as dated PostgreSQL rules under Drizzle ORM and TypeScript, because a mid-year threshold crossing applies retrospectively.
An evidenced register, not a spreadsheet. DORA has applied since 17 January 2025, over Central Bank of Ireland cross-industry guidance on outsourcing and operational resilience issued in December 2021. A Dublin ERP holds every ICT provider, criticality rating and exit plan as PostgreSQL rows with RBAC, so a finance or insurance inspection is answered in seconds.
As enforced immutability. Dublin biotech and healthcare manufacturers run validated systems, so FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance requires attributable, time-stamped electronic records and signatures. We implement that with append-only PostgreSQL tables, RBAC, and CI/CD Deployment Pipelines in GitHub Actions that produce the installation evidence a Dublin qualification pack expects.
