Business software built for Iraq
Iraq is one of the Middle East's largest economies and one of its fastest-rebuilding markets, with a young population, a rapidly digitising banking sector and a business base spread across Baghdad, Basra and the Kurdistan Region. Companies operating federally, in the Kurdistan Region, or across both adopt Zoho and Odoo to run finance, sales and operations on a single system.
Why businesses in Iraq choose Shyphan
Trading, contracting, logistics, oil services, telecoms and professional services firms are the backbone of the Iraqi private sector, and most of them run on spreadsheets and disconnected tools for far longer than they should. We put a single system in place - quotes, orders, invoices, stock and collections - without asking the team to change how they actually work.
Iraq applies no general VAT. A sales tax applies to selected goods and services, and corporate income tax is 15% for most sectors and 35% for oil and gas, filed with the General Commission for Taxes. Companies registered in the Kurdistan Region file with the Region's own tax administration, so groups operating on both sides of that line need their entities kept apart in the books from day one. We configure your finance system for that split, for dinar and dollar working, and for Arabic, Kurdish and English documents.
Cities we serve in Iraq
Where business is registered
Federal Iraq through the Ministry of Trade in Baghdad, the Kurdistan Region through its own registrar in Erbil, plus the Khor Al-Zubair and Al-Qaim free zones and the Basra port corridor at Umm Qasr. Groups often hold entities on both sides.

API Development across Iraq
We deliver API development for clients in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk. Projects run remotely on Iraq hours with on-site workshops in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil where discovery or training justifies it.
Iraq runs on trading, contracting, logistics, hospitality and professional services, and almost all of it on lean teams that cannot afford software nobody uses. Whatever the sector, the failure mode is the same: software built without the people who use it, and abandoned within a year. Discovery is where we prevent that.

- Best suited to
- API Development suits companies whose process does not fit an off-the-shelf product.

- We quote a fixed price in IQD after a discovery session, broken into phases so you are never committing to the whole build on day one.

Why Iraqi teams switch to Zoho
How Zoho, set up by an authorized partner, compares with a typical Salesforce or HubSpot stack. Figures are approximate and vary by plan.
| Zoho with Shyphan | Typical Salesforce / HubSpot stack | |
|---|---|---|
| Apps included | 40+ apps in Zoho One under one login | CRM only; marketing, support and finance are separate paid products |
| Typical cost per user / month | From about $37 for the full suite | Often $150-300+ once add-ons are included |
| Accounting & Iraqi sales tax | Built in with Zoho Books (GCT sales tax) | Needs QuickBooks, NetSuite or third-party add-ons |
| Custom apps & automation | Low-code Zoho Creator + Deluge included | Extra platform licensing and developer cost |
| Setup & migration | Fixed-quote; we migrate your data for you | DIY or costly per-hour partner work |

Is API Development the right fit for you?
API Development suits companies whose process does not fit an off-the-shelf product. If that is you, a prototype in the first two weeks will tell you more than another month of specification will.
It is a poor fit if an off-the-shelf product already covers ninety per cent of what you need, or if the requirements are still changing weekly. We will say so rather than bill for the discovery.
