Short answer: Vayasoft is an official Odoo Ready Partner that implements Odoo ERP for businesses in Dubai and the wider UAE. Dubai is the Gulf’s trading and re-export hub. Deira’s wholesale markets, Jebel Ali Free Zone, DMCC and Dubai South move goods across the Middle East and Africa, while Dubai Industrial City and Al Quoz host light manufacturing, food processing and contracting firms. We set Odoo up for UAE VAT, multi-currency trading and free-zone and mainland entities in one database, and we plan for the UAE’s e-invoicing mandate. We serve Dubai and the UAE remotely from India, with on-site visits for discovery and go-live. Our working day overlaps with the UAE working day.
Problems we fix for Dubai businesses
- Several currencies, bank accounts and entities consolidated in spreadsheets each month.
- Free-zone and mainland stock, VAT and books kept in different systems.
- Landed costs on re-export shipments worked out after the sale, so margins are guessed.
Industries we set Odoo up for in Dubai
- Re-export and general trading: multi-currency purchase and sales, landed costs, letters of credit and customer credit limits.
- Free-zone logistics and 3PL: barcode warehousing, client-wise storage and billing.
- Food and FMCG distribution: batch and expiry control, van sales and route-wise orders.
- Contracting and fit-out: project costing, purchase against projects, progress billing and retention.
- Light manufacturing and assembly: bills of materials, work orders and quality checks.
