Business software built for Qatar

Qatar has one of the highest GDPs per capita in the world and is diversifying hard under Qatar National Vision 2030, with sustained investment in construction, logistics, sport, tourism, financial services and technology. Companies operating onshore, inside QFZA or the Qatar Financial Centre, or across all three, adopt Zoho and Odoo to run finance, sales and operations on a single system.

Why businesses in Qatar choose Shyphan

Contracting, logistics, energy services, hospitality, retail and professional services firms make up the bulk of the Qatari private sector, and a great many of them still run on spreadsheets and disconnected tools. We put a single system in place - quotes, orders, invoices, stock and collections - without asking the team to change how they actually work.

Qatar applies no VAT today. A GCC-wide VAT has been agreed in principle but is not yet in force, so what matters now is excise tax on tobacco, energy and soft drinks, and corporate income tax at 10% on the foreign-owned share of profits - Qatari and GCC-owned entities are largely exempt. Returns are filed with the General Tax Authority through its Dhareeba portal. We configure your finance system for Dhareeba-ready records, riyal and multi-currency working, WPS payroll files and bilingual Arabic and English documents.

Custom Software Development for Qatar Free Zones: questions answered

Do you build custom software for free zone companies?
Yes - bespoke web and business applications for Qatar free zone businesses of any size.
What can you integrate with?
Payment gateways, government and logistics systems, and any third-party API your business uses.
Is pricing fixed?
Yes - we quote a fixed price after a free scoping call.
How long does a custom build take?
Depending on scope, typically a few weeks to a few months.
Which free zones do you support?
All Qatar free zones across every municipality.
Can you work across QFZA, the QFC and onshore entities?
Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons clients call us. The free zones and onshore Qatar have different registration and reporting expectations, so we set the entities up as distinct books with separate document numbering and consolidated reporting on top.
How do you handle Arabic and English documents?
Invoices, quotes and purchase orders can be issued in Arabic or English from the same record, with right-to-left layout where it is needed. Field labels and picklists can carry local terms so the team is not translating in their head every time they open a record.
Do you visit sites in Doha?
Delivery is remote by default, which is what keeps the price down and the timeline short. Where discovery, data migration or end-user training genuinely benefits from being in the room, we schedule on-site attendance in Doha and say so in the quote rather than adding it later.
How long does implementation take?
A single-app rollout for a small team typically goes live in three to five weeks including data migration and training. Multi-entity, multi-currency or heavily automated builds run six to twelve weeks and we phase them, so the first group is working while the next is being configured. You get the timeline in writing with the fixed quote, before any work starts.

Who this is for

Is Custom Software Development for Qatar Free Zone Companies the right fit for you?

Custom Software Development for Qatar Free Zone Companies suits Qatari companies that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want an enterprise rollout. 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.
