Development for Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE.
The UAE is our easiest market to work with operationally: ninety minutes of time difference and a shared working week mean it feels close to domestic. The work is mostly trading and distribution companies, real estate and property management, retail and restaurant groups, and logistics. Two requirements come up far more than elsewhere -- Arabic alongside English, which means right-to-left layouts designed in rather than retrofitted, and VAT-compliant invoicing with the Federal Tax Authority's requirements built into billing from the start.
The questions that actually come up when the team is in one country and the client is in another.
UAE is 90 minutes behind IST with an overlapping working week, so calls need no scheduling gymnastics.
Bilingual Arabic and English interfaces with proper RTL layout, which has to be designed in rather than bolted on afterwards.
Invoiced in AED or USD. Systems we build produce UAE VAT-compliant tax invoices with TRN handling where you bill locally.
Yes, with right-to-left layout handled properly rather than as a CSS afterthought -- mirrored layouts, correct number and date formatting, and bilingual documents and invoices. Retrofitting RTL into a finished product is expensive, so tell us at the start.
Yes -- tax invoice format, TRN, the required VAT breakdown and bilingual invoices where you need them. We agree the format with your accountant before go-live rather than after the first VAT return.
No, and the time difference is small enough that it rarely comes up. We deliver remotely with calls in your working hours, and we do not maintain a UAE entity -- which also means you are not paying Dubai overhead for engineering done elsewhere.
Tell us what the problem is and we will come back with what we think the real scope is — including where we think you need less than you asked for.
