What we use to deliver partner portal development

Tools and platforms we typically use, and the systems it connects to. The final choice is made against your systems, budget and team.

What we deliver

Partner Portal Development in Dubai: what is included

Partner portal development Dubai re-export distributors and DMCC firms commission for channels that reach well beyond the UAE: dealers in the GCC, Africa and South Asia ordering from Dubai stock, and introducers or brokers earning commission on commodity and service deals.

01

Multi-currency price books

Dealers in different countries see price books in USD, EUR or AED with their tier discount applied. Price changes are scheduled centrally, so every dealer sees the new price from the same date without separate emails.

02

Re-export dealer ordering

Overseas dealers order from JAFZA or Dubai stock in USD or AED, choose Incoterms and shipping options, and download proforma invoices for their import permits. Confirmed orders reach your ERP and logistics team with destination and documentation needs attached.

03

Proforma and shipping requests

Dealers request proformas for import permits, choose consolidated or direct shipments and upload their own forwarder details. Your logistics team sees requests in one queue with order and stock information attached.

04

Dealer sell-out reporting

Dealers upload monthly sell-out and stock-on-hand reports by template or API. You see demand by country and product, which helps planning, and dealers see how their performance compares with targets.

05

Introducer and broker commissions

DMCC traders and service firms that pay introducers see referred deals, invoiced value and commission due per introducer. Introducers view statements and upload their invoices, and finance approves payments against agreed terms.

06

Territory and brand permissions

Distributors carrying several brands restrict each dealer to the brands and countries they are authorised for. Portal access follows distribution agreements, so a dealer cannot order brands outside their contract.

Real product screens

UAE specifics

What changes in Dubai

The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.

Designated zone versus mainland

Orders shipped from a JAFZA designated zone for export are treated differently for VAT from mainland supplies. The portal carries the treatment set in your ERP onto partner documents.

Dubai partner days

Many overseas partners visit Dubai. We schedule pilot and training sessions with your channel team on-site in Dubai, with the build delivered from our RAK office.

Dubai as a channel hub

Many brands run Middle East and Africa channels from Dubai. The portal gives regional channel managers one view of dealers across countries while local dealers see only their own business.

Working with businesses in Dubai: we support companies across JAFZA, DMCC, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Internet City, DIFC, Al Quoz and Dubai South, with remote delivery and on-site workshops where the project needs them.

How it works

How we deliver partner portal development

Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.

1Weeks 1-2

Channel agreement review

We translate your distribution agreements into rules: territories, brands, tiers, targets and payment terms per dealer.

2Weeks 2-4

Dealer journeys

Prototype reviewed with the channel team and a few overseas dealers during their Dubai visits or by video.

3Weeks 4-12

Build

Price books, ordering, proformas, sell-out uploads and commission statements developed in sprints and integrated with your ERP.

4Weeks 12-14

Dealer pilot

Selected dealers from different regions place real orders, testing currencies, shipping documents and brand permissions end to end.

5Weeks 14-16

Global rollout

Dealers onboarded region by region, with remote training sessions scheduled to suit their time zones and languages.

When partner portal development is the wrong answer

If your Dubai business has a few overseas dealers who order quarterly by email, a partner portal will not pay back; a shared price list and good account management may be enough. Build one when dealer numbers, order frequency or commission complexity overwhelm your channel team.

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.

FAQ

Partner Portal Development in Dubai: questions we get asked

Can partner portal development Dubai distributors commission support overseas dealers?
Yes. Dealers in other countries order in USD or AED, choose Incoterms, see stock in Dubai warehouses and download proformas and shipping documents. The portal supports English and Arabic, and additional languages such as French can be added for African partners.
Our overseas dealers also buy for their own use. Do we need a partner portal or a customer portal?
A partner portal covers dealers who resell under your territories, tiers and targets, and it can also show their own orders and invoices. A separate customer portal is only needed for buyers with no channel role. For most Dubai distributors, one partner portal with an orders view serves both.
Can dealers see prices in their own currency?
Yes. Each dealer is assigned a price book in USD, EUR or AED with their tier discount. The portal shows prices in that currency, and orders are created in your ERP in the same currency for invoicing.
Can DMCC firms pay introducer commission through the portal?
The portal calculates and shows commission per introducer from invoiced deals and collects their invoices. Payment itself is made by your finance team from the ERP or bank, with the portal recording approval and payment status for each statement.
Can dealers upload sell-out and stock reports?
Yes. Dealers upload monthly reports using a template or connect through an API if they have their own system. The data feeds dashboards by country and product, giving you visibility of real demand beyond your own sales.
Can we restrict dealers to certain brands and countries?
Yes. Permissions follow each distribution agreement, limiting brands, product ranges and delivery countries per dealer. Attempts to order outside those limits are blocked and flagged to the channel manager. When an agreement is renewed or changed, updating the permissions takes effect for that dealer immediately.
Why choose Shyphan?
We are a Zoho Premium Partner, an Official Odoo Partner and an independent Dynamics 365 consultancy that also builds AI and custom software, so we recommend by fit rather than by what we resell. Delivery runs from our Ras Al Khaimah office with remote delivery across all seven emirates.
