Group Company ERP in the UAE

We build it for family groups, holding companies and investment platforms whose subsidiaries run different systems and whose group accounts take weeks to produce.

WhatsAppGroup Company ERP in the UAE: what is included
Group company ERP in the UAE gives a holding company one view of all its businesses: consolidated financial statements, intercompany eliminations, group dashboards in AED and governance over subsidiaries in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India or elsewhere.
Group structure and ownership
Parent, subsidiaries, associates and ownership percentages are recorded with effective dates. Consolidation applies the right method to each company, and changes such as acquisitions or disposals are handled from the right date.
Consolidation and eliminations
Trial balances from each subsidiary are mapped to a group chart of accounts, translated to AED and consolidated. Intercompany sales, balances, dividends and investments are eliminated by rule, with a documented audit trail.
Multi-currency translation
Subsidiaries reporting in SAR, INR, USD or EUR are translated at closing and average rates. Translation differences are posted correctly, and the group sees results in AED alongside local currency.
Subsidiaries on different systems
Not every subsidiary has to change ERP. Data from Odoo, Zoho, Business Central or legacy systems is collected through a standard mapping, so group reporting can start before any system replacement.
Group policies and controls
Group-wide authority limits, chart of accounts standards, closing calendars and master data rules are applied across subsidiaries. The holding company sees which companies follow them and where exceptions sit. Exceptions are reviewed each quarter.
Group dashboards and board packs
Revenue, EBITDA, cash, debt and key ratios by company, sector and country are shown on one dashboard, with drill-down to each subsidiary. Board packs are produced from the same data every month.
The platforms we deliver it on
Real screens from the platforms we implement. Yours are configured to your entities, processes and KPIs.
The Zoho Inventory dashboard
Sales activity, inventory summary, low-stock and top-selling items, and order status, on web and mobile.
- Zoho: fastest and lowest cost per user for SMEs and growing teams.
Replenishment in Odoo Inventory
Products below their minimum with the proposed route: buy, manufacture or transfer between warehouses.
- 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 the UAE
The local rules and realities we design for before go-live. Rules change, so we re-check the current position at scoping.
Family groups and holding structures
Many UAE groups are family-owned holding structures spanning trading, real estate, hospitality and services. Group company ERP gives the family council and board one consistent view across very different businesses.
Subsidiaries across the GCC and India
UAE-headquartered groups often own subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia, Oman, India or beyond, each with its own tax rules. The group layer consolidates them in AED while local compliance stays in local systems.
Corporate Tax groups and substance
UAE Corporate Tax allows tax groups for qualifying resident companies, and free zone entities have their own conditions. Clean entity-level data supports your adviser in group tax analysis and filings.
How we deliver group company ERP
Phases, indicative timing and what is delivered in each. Scope is fixed and priced in AED before we start.
Group mapping
We map the group structure, systems, currencies, closing calendars and reporting requirements of shareholders, boards and lenders.
Group chart and rules
A group chart of accounts, mapping tables, elimination rules and closing calendar are designed with group finance.
Data connections
Each subsidiary's ledger is connected or scheduled for upload, and mapping is tested with historical periods.
Parallel consolidation
A full consolidation runs alongside your current process, and differences are explained and resolved. Auditors can review the results.
Group close routine
The monthly group close and board pack run from the system, with group finance owning the process.
When group company ERP is the wrong answer
If all your companies are in the UAE and run daily on the same ERP, multi-entity ERP with built-in consolidation may be enough without a separate group layer. For very large listed groups with complex IFRS consolidation, a dedicated consolidation and close tool may be the better fit, fed from subsidiaries' ERPs.
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
