# Custom ERP development in Dubai and the UAE

> Custom ERP development in Dubai and the UAE for trading and project firms: purchase orders, price lists, stock and job costs in one system. Book a call.

We build custom ERP systems, and custom layers beside the ERP you already run, for UAE trading, distribution and project firms. Purchase orders, supplier price lists, quotations, stock, shipment files and job costs live in one system, built in phases so the business keeps running while it goes in.

**Service type:** Custom ERP Development

## What a custom ERP build with innopalm includes

We scope around the records your team keeps today, starting with the ones that cost you most when they go wrong.

- Purchase orders from request to delivery and the matched supplier invoice
- Supplier records with price lists, price breaks and landed cost
- Quotations and pricing agreements with the margin on each line
- Stock, shipment files and job costs against budget, committed and actual spend
- Connections to the accounting package you already run, rather than a replacement

## Why firms choose innopalm for ERP work

- The first phase live 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff, with later modules in further phases
- Data migrated twice, so your team checks it against the old records before cutover
- The people who use the system daily sign it off in user acceptance testing
- A straight answer when an off-the-shelf ERP already fits your process

## How a custom ERP project runs

A trading or project firm cannot stop work while a new system goes in, so we build in phases.

- **Discovery from the spreadsheets** Two to three weeks at the start, included in the project. We sit with the coordinator who keeps the spreadsheets and end with a written scope that names which record goes live first.
- **First phase live in 6 to 12 weeks** You see running software every 2 to 3 weeks. Where AI reads purchase orders, invoices or shipment packs, we build a test set from your real documents first.
- **Phases you accept one by one** Each further phase has its own written scope, its own demos and its own payment on acceptance, so you use the first release while the next is built.
- **Hypercare after go-live** We stay on the live system for two months after go-live. After that there is no per-user licence: you own the code and the data.

## What a custom ERP costs

The same floor and terms as any build, priced by named drivers.

- **From AED 50,000, discovery included** An ERP build starts at our AED 50,000 floor with discovery and scoping included. The drivers that move it above the floor are each system we connect, the records we migrate out of spreadsheets, offline use, and any AI that reads documents in place of a person.
- **A fixed figure, paid on acceptance** There is no hourly rate. The figure is fixed once you approve the written scope, and each milestone is paid when you accept it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Should we build a custom ERP or use Odoo or Zoho?

If Odoo, Zoho or another product covers your process through configuration alone, buy it; we refer configuration work to an implementation partner for that product. A custom build earns its cost when someone still runs a spreadsheet beside the ERP for purchase orders, price lists, document checks or job costs.

### How much does a custom ERP cost for a trading company?

Builds start from AED 50,000 with discovery included. The figure is fixed once you approve the written scope and rises above the floor only for named drivers such as integrations, data migration, offline use or custom AI.

### How long does a custom ERP take to build?

The first phase goes live 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff, including any AI that reads documents. Larger scope follows in further phases, each with its own scope, demos and payment on acceptance.

### Can you keep our accounting package?

Yes. We connect the build to the accounting package or ERP you already run rather than replace it, and each connection is tested against the live system.

### Do you build e-invoicing connections on their own?

No. A standalone e-invoicing connection is work for the accredited service providers and ERP vendors. We build the process behind the invoice data.
