Odoo ERP, localised for the UAE
One database for finance, stock, sales, manufacturing and people — configured for UAE tax, free-zone structures, WPS payroll and bilingual documents.
Why Odoo
Why growing UAE companies choose Odoo
For a 20- to 500-person company, the classic ERP choice was between an expensive tier-one system and a patchwork of accounting software and spreadsheets. Odoo sits in between.
One source of truth
Sales, stock, purchasing and accounting share one database. A delivery updates stock and the ledger at the same moment.
Start small, add apps
Go live with accounting and inventory, then add manufacturing, POS or payroll when the business is ready — without a new project.
Open and extensible
Open-source core, a documented API and thousands of community modules. Your custom features are yours, not the vendor's.
Easy to learn
A modern web interface that works on any device. Most users are productive after one or two training sessions.

About Odoo in the UAE
How long does an Odoo implementation take?
A standard rollout for a small or mid-sized company takes 6 to 12 weeks. Multi-company groups with manufacturing, integrations or several countries usually take 3 to 6 months. You get a firm timeline at the end of the discovery phase.
How much does Odoo cost in the UAE?
There are two parts: the Odoo Enterprise licence, paid to Odoo per user, and implementation services. Our fixed-price packages start at AED 38,000; a mid-sized scope is usually estimated at AED 80,000–250,000. Odoo Community has no licence fee but fewer features — we help you decide which edition fits.
Community or Enterprise — which do we need?
Community is free and open source and works well for straightforward sales, purchasing and inventory. Enterprise adds full accounting, the barcode and mobile apps, Studio, payroll and Odoo's upgrade service. For VAT-registered companies we usually recommend Enterprise, and we show you the difference on your own processes before you commit.
Where will our data be hosted?
You can choose Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or a private server. If your data needs to stay inside the UAE — common for government suppliers and regulated industries — we deploy in UAE cloud regions or on your own servers and manage backups and monitoring for you.
Can Odoo handle UAE VAT and Corporate Tax?
Yes. Odoo ships with a UAE localisation that includes the chart of accounts, VAT taxes and the VAT return report. We extend it with bilingual tax invoices, reverse-charge and designated-zone scenarios, and the reporting your tax agent needs for Corporate Tax filings.
We already use Odoo with another partner. Can you take over?
Yes. We start with an audit of your database and custom code, fix critical issues first and then move you onto a regular AMC.
Do you work outside Dubai?
Our office is in Business Bay and we work on-site across all seven Emirates. We also cover Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait, combining on-site workshops with remote delivery.
