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.

Our certified Zoho team
Sage migrations across the Iraq
We run Sage to Zoho Books migrations for clients in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Sulaymaniyah and Kirkuk, remotely on Iraq hours, with the cutover scheduled around your quiet period rather than ours.
Every migration ends with a written reconciliation: record counts, financial totals and open items compared between Sage and Zoho Books and signed off before the old system is retired.
Most clients look at these next: QuickBooks to Zoho Books Migration in Iraq, Tally to Zoho Books Migration in Iraq and Xero to Zoho Books Migration in Iraq.
The full Zoho suite we implement in Iraq
From CRM and Books to a complete Zoho One rollout, with 30+ apps configured for Iraqi teams.
How the Sage to Zoho Books migration runs
Five stages, a sandbox dry run before anything goes live, and a fixed quote in IQD agreed up front.
Sage export and audit
A complete extract from Sage, profiled for duplicates, format breaks and referential gaps before any mapping is agreed.
Field mapping to Zoho Books
Every object and field mapped, picklists aligned, and the gaps between the two data models flagged in writing rather than discovered at cutover.
Cleansing and de-duplication
Trade names, Arabic, Kurdish and English name variants, tax identification number, phone formats and dates standardised, duplicates merged under agreed survivorship rules.
Sandbox dry run
A full rehearsal load you inspect against Sage, with an exception list resolved before the live run.
Cutover and reconciliation
Live load on an agreed window, counts and totals reconciled and signed off, and a read-only archive of Sage retained for GCT record-keeping.
Industries we serve in Iraq
From technology and finance to manufacturing, healthcare, retail and professional services.

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 Sage to Zoho Books Migration the right fit for you?
Sage to Zoho Books Migration suits finance teams that want GCT-ready books and dinar-and-dollar working without an on-premise ledger. If that is you, the licence usually pays for itself inside the first quarter. We will say so on the discovery call if it will not.
It is a poor fit if you need a heavily bespoke system with no commercial off-the-shelf equivalent, or if nobody internally can own the data. In either case we will tell you on the first call rather than after the invoice.
