WhatsAppCustom Inventory Software in the UAE: what is included
Shyphan builds custom inventory software in the UAE for traders, distributors, retailers and manufacturers whose stock does not fit standard tools.
Your items, your units
Products are modelled the way you buy and sell them: cartons, pieces and weights, variants, kits, batches with expiry and serial numbers, so conversions and pricing come out right without manual workarounds.
Costing and valuation
Weighted average or FIFO costing, landed costs including freight, duty and clearing charges, and stock valuation that matches your accounting system at month end, so finance trusts the numbers and the auditors do too.
Reorder alerts
Minimum levels, supplier lead times and sales velocity drive reorder suggestions per item and location, and draft purchase orders go to the buyer for approval rather than relying on someone noticing an empty shelf.
Multi-branch stock view
Stock by branch, van, showroom and warehouse is visible in one place, with inter-branch transfers, in-transit quantities and approvals, so staff can sell from another location instead of losing the sale.
Customs duty and import VAT
Imports usually carry the 5% GCC common customs tariff and import VAT. We capture duty and clearing costs into landed cost so margins are real, and keep import VAT visible for the VAT 201 return.
Scanning on phones
Staff receive, count and transfer stock by scanning barcodes or QR codes on Android phones or handheld scanners, which cuts typing errors, shortens stock counts and records who handled each movement.
The systems it plugs into
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
Executive KPI dashboard in Zoho Analytics
Leads, conversions, revenue, expenses, profit, tickets and satisfaction on one board, drawn from Zoho CRM, Expense and Desk. Your software reads from and writes back to screens like this one, so nothing is re-keyed.
- Your items, your units
- Costing and valuation
- Reorder alerts
Sales dashboard in Odoo
Quotations, orders, revenue and average order value with the monthly trend, built from live Odoo data. The same software connects to Odoo in exactly the same way.
- Multi-branch stock view
- Import-heavy supply chains
- Designated zone movements
What changes in the UAE
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
Import-heavy supply chains
Much UAE stock is imported, so lead times are long and landed costs include freight, the 5% customs duty and clearing fees. Inventory software must plan for that, not assume next-day supply.
Designated zone movements
Designated zones and the mainland have different VAT treatment. When stock moves between a free zone store and the mainland, the software records the movement so your accountant can apply the right treatment.
Delivered across the UAE
We deliver from our RAK Free Trade Zone office to businesses in all seven emirates, with on-site counts and training in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah when opening stock needs to be right.
How we deliver custom inventory software
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Stock discovery
We map products, units of measure, locations, suppliers, valuation method and reorder habits, and check whether Zoho Inventory or Odoo Inventory would fit before quoting.
Data model and screens
Item master, variants, batches, serials and locations are designed, and receiving, transfer and count screens are prototyped with store staff.
Build and integrate
Stock movements, costing, reorder alerts and reports are built and connected to accounting, POS or e-commerce so every sale reduces stock automatically.
Opening stock and go-live
We load opening balances from a physical count, reconcile quantities and values with finance, train staff and switch over at a period end.
Support and refine
We monitor stock accuracy, adjust reorder rules and add features such as new branches or sales channels under a support plan.
When custom inventory software is the wrong answer
Custom inventory software is rarely the cheapest option for standard stock. Zoho Inventory and Odoo Inventory already handle multi-warehouse, batches, landed cost and barcode scanning, and cost less to run. Build custom only when your items, units or process genuinely do not fit, or stock must live inside a custom product. We check that first and will quote the packaged route if it fits.
How we handle it: We implement Zoho, Odoo and Dynamics 365 and build AI and custom software, so our written recommendation can point you to a simpler option, or to doing nothing yet.
A UAE team you can meet in person
That is our team at Zoholics Dubai 2026. We deliver Zoho, Odoo, Dynamics 365 and custom projects from our Ras Al Khaimah office with remote delivery across all seven emirates, in English and Arabic, and we run workshops on site in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah when a project needs it.
