What we use to deliver Arabic ERP
Tools and platforms we typically use, and the systems it connects to. The final choice is made against your systems, budget and team.
Arabic ERP in Ras Al Khaimah: what is included
Arabic ERP in RAK is where Shyphan works closest to home: our UAE office is in RAK Free Trade Zone.
Arabic for industrial manufacturers
RAK's industrial and building materials manufacturers need bills of materials, batch production and quality checks. We configure Odoo Manufacturing or Business Central with Arabic item names and shop-floor screens, and bilingual delivery notes for contractors.
RAKEZ multi-licence setups
RAKEZ businesses sometimes hold licences in different zones or alongside a mainland entity. We set each up as its own company in one ERP, with intercompany entries, separate VAT treatment where relevant and bilingual documents for each.
Al Hamra hospitality and property
Hotels, serviced apartments and property owners in Al Hamra need bilingual guest and tenant invoices, service charge tracking and owner statements in Arabic. We connect these to the ERP ledger rather than separate spreadsheets.
Hijri dates where needed
Most UAE accounting runs on the Gregorian calendar, but some contracts, HR records or customer letters show Hijri dates. We add Hijri date fields or print formats only where you use them, rather than cluttering every screen.
Bilingual customer and vendor portal
Customers download invoices and statements, and vendors submit quotations, through a portal that switches between Arabic and English. Odoo's portal, Zoho Creator portals or Power Pages can deliver this depending on your ERP.
Arabic-speaking approvers
Purchase, expense and payment approvals reach managers in their language, with Arabic email or in-app notifications and mobile approval screens. It removes the bottleneck of senior Arabic-speaking approvers waiting for translated summaries.
A RAKEZ packaging manufacturer exports regionally
How Arabic ERP in Ras Al Khaimah looks in practice. Illustrative; every project is scoped to the business.

For example, a RAKEZ-licensed plastic packaging manufacturer in Al Ghail produces containers and caps for food and cosmetics brands in the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Export shipments need Arabic and English commercial invoices and packing lists, the owner prefers Arabic reports, and production planners track machine runs and material usage on a whiteboard.
- Configure Odoo Manufacturing with work centres for each moulding machine, bills of materials per product and Arabic and English product descriptions.
- Produce bilingual commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin data for export orders shipped through RAK ports or overland to Oman.
- Build an Arabic owner dashboard, viewable on a phone, showing machine utilisation, material consumption against standard and export orders awaiting dispatch.

Which platform for Arabic ERP in Ras Al Khaimah?
An honest comparison. We implement all of these, so the recommendation follows your processes, team and budget.
| Option | Best when | How it fits this need |
|---|---|---|
| Odoo | You manufacture and export with Arabic documents | Well suited to RAK manufacturers needing work centres, material costing and bilingual export paperwork. Strong value, though complex scheduling may need extra configuration or planning tools. |
| Dynamics 365 Business Central | Group finance or foreign shareholders require Microsoft | Sensible for RAK manufacturers reporting into a Microsoft-based group. Manufacturing depth is solid, while Arabic relies on partner apps that must be checked per module. |
| Zoho Books with Zoho Inventory | You trade finished goods rather than manufacture | The better choice for RAKEZ traders buying and reselling without production. Bilingual invoices and multi-warehouse stock are covered at low running cost. |
| Keep your current system for now | Production is simple and exports are rare | If your existing accounting handles invoices and you rarely export, a full ERP can wait. Growth in export volume or product lines usually changes that quickly. |
What changes in Ras Al Khaimah
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
Our team is in RAK
Shyphan's UAE office is in RAK Free Trade Zone, so Arabic template reviews, key-user training and go-live days can happen at your site without scheduling a trip from another emirate.
Exports through RAK ports
Manufacturers exporting through RAK's ports need bilingual commercial invoices and packing lists, and 5% GCC customs duty tracked on imported inputs. The ERP produces these from sales and purchase orders.
E-invoicing readiness in RAK
E-invoicing via ASPs phases in from 2026-2027; check the Ministry of Finance for the latest dates. We clean Arabic and English customer data now so RAK firms are ready when their phase applies.
Working with businesses in Ras Al Khaimah: we support companies across RAKEZ and Al Hamra, close to our own RAK Free Trade Zone office, with remote delivery and on-site workshops where the project needs them.
What drives the cost, and what it connects to
No price list: we quote a fixed price in AED after discovery. These are the factors that move the effort up or down.
Production complexity
Number of machines, product variants, routings and scrap tracking determine manufacturing setup effort. Simple assembly is quicker than multi-stage moulding with changeovers and quality checks.
Export documentation
Bilingual commercial invoices, packing lists and origin data for several destination countries need templates and product data, such as HS codes and weights, cleaned in advance.
Number of licences
RAK groups with separate trading and manufacturing licences need several companies, intercompany flows and consolidated reports, which adds configuration, testing and year-end reporting work.
Hospitality or property modules
Al Hamra hospitality and property businesses need booking, tenancy or service charge features that differ entirely from manufacturing, so scope depends heavily on your sector.
What it connects to
Export orders pass shipment details to forwarders, and container and vessel references return to the sales order.
Where machines expose counters, output quantities feed manufacturing orders instead of supervisors typing them in.
Export receipts in USD, OMR or SAR import and are matched to invoices with exchange differences posted.
Production, scrap and export data feed Arabic dashboards for the owner and plant manager.
Structured e-invoices will pass to an ASP when UAE e-invoicing applies; check the Ministry of Finance for dates.
How we deliver Arabic ERP
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Language audit
We meet at your RAK site to list documents, shop-floor screens and entities that need Arabic.
Platform fit
We test Arabic in Zoho, Odoo or Dynamics 365 against your documents before recommending one.
Configure and translate
Languages, templates, fields and workflows are set up, and custom terms are translated and reviewed.
Bilingual testing
Arabic and English users test real transactions, prints and searches in both layouts.
Go-live and support
Cutover, bilingual training and a support plan for translation and template changes.
When Arabic ERP is the wrong answer
Being local does not change what fits. If a RAK company runs a simple service business, a full manufacturing-grade ERP is wrong; Zoho Books with bilingual invoicing may be enough. We will say so, even to a neighbour.
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.
Checklist and common mistakes
Buyer's checklist
What to ask for before you choose a provider.
- Ask to see bilingual export documents, such as commercial invoices and packing lists, produced from sample orders.
- Confirm how several RAKEZ licences or group companies would be separated for VAT and reporting.
- Check the provider can visit your RAK factory regularly, since our office is in RAK Free Trade Zone.
- Ask how machine capacity, downtime and material scrap will be recorded and reported in Arabic.
- Require a readiness plan for UAE e-invoicing, and check the Ministry of Finance for the latest dates.
- Confirm who from the provider speaks Arabic and will train your Arabic-speaking supervisors directly.
Common mistakes
What we see go wrong in the UAE, and how to avoid it.
- Missing HS codes and weightsExport paperwork fails when products lack HS codes, net and gross weights. Clean this product data before go-live so documents generate correctly first time.
- Treating RAK as a remote siteSome providers deliver RAK projects entirely remotely from Dubai or abroad. Local visits to the factory floor catch practical issues that screens and calls miss.
- Ignoring scrap and reworkMoulding and processing generate scrap that distorts costs if unrecorded. Capture scrap and regrind per production run so product margins reflect reality.
- One company for several licencesCombining separate RAKEZ licences in one ledger complicates VAT and audits. Configure each licence as its own company with clear intercompany transactions.
