WhatsAppERP Customization Company in Dubai: what is included
Shyphan is an ERP customization company Dubai traders and distributors use when their ERP almost fits: custom landed cost allocation rules, re-export document packs for JAFZA shipments, commodity lot and assay fields for DMCC traders and designated zone VAT logic.
Export document generation
Commercial invoices, packing lists and certificate of origin drafts are generated from the sales order and shipment in the layouts your forwarders and overseas customers require. Staff stop copying data into Word templates for every JAFZA consignment, and errors between documents disappear.
Landed cost and re-export documents
Custom allocation rules spread freight, duty and clearing by weight, volume or value per shipment. Re-export orders generate commercial invoices, packing lists and certificate of origin data in the formats your forwarders and customers expect.
Currency and price book rules
Custom logic applies different price books, currencies and rounding rules per customer group or destination. Sales teams quoting overseas buyers in USD see margin in AED immediately, and approvals trigger when margin falls below your threshold.
Container and shipment tracking fields
Container numbers, seal numbers, vessel names and ETAs are added to purchase and sales documents with list views for operations. Dubai import teams see what is on the water and plan warehouse space at Jebel Ali accordingly.
Commodity lot and assay fields
DMCC traders need assay results, grade, origin and certificate references per lot, with price adjustments when final assays differ from provisional ones. We add these fields and calculations without breaking standard inventory and accounting.
Clean modules, clear ownership
Each Dubai customisation is a separate, documented module or extension in your repository. If you change partners, the new team understands exactly what was built and why, without reverse-engineering undocumented changes.
The platforms we deliver it on
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
Finance overview in Zoho Analytics
Revenue against expense, revenue by project and customer distribution on one board, refreshed from Zoho Books and CRM.
- Zoho: fastest and lowest cost per user for SMEs and growing teams.
The Odoo Accounting dashboard
Customer invoices, vendor bills, bank and cash journals, with what is left to validate and reconcile.
- Odoo: strongest where stock, manufacturing and operations lead.
A Business Central role centre
The home page each user gets for their role: headlines, activity cues, KPI tiles, charts and actions. The numbered callouts come from Microsoft's documentation.
- Dynamics 365: best for Microsoft-centric companies and larger groups.
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 VAT logic
Movements between JAFZA designated zones and the mainland can have different VAT outcomes. We customise tax rules so the ERP applies the treatment your adviser has confirmed.
Workshops in Dubai
Change reviews and user testing can run on-site at your Dubai office or warehouse, with development, code review and deployment delivered remotely from our RAK office.
Jebel Ali and re-export flows
Dubai trading groups move goods through Jebel Ali and JAFZA to buyers across the region. Customisations reflect those real flows, with documents and data fields the port and forwarders expect.
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 we deliver ERP customization company
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Trade process review
We follow one import and one re-export order through your current ERP to see exactly where staff leave the system.
Change specification
Each change specified with screens, fields and calculations, then priced so you can approve items individually.
Development on staging
Customisations built on a staging copy with real shipment data, demonstrated weekly to operations and finance users.
Shipment test run
Users process live-like shipments end to end on staging, checking documents, landed cost and margin figures.
Release
Modules deployed to production outside trading hours, followed by a short refresher for operations and finance staff.
When ERP customization company is the wrong answer
If your Dubai trading volume is modest and your forwarder already prepares export documents, custom document generation may not pay back. Likewise, if Odoo or Business Central now includes a feature you once customised, remove the customisation. We review your list honestly before quoting anything.
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.
