UAE software
Custom software development company UAE
We are a custom software development company that builds portals, APIs, ERP and CRM for UAE businesses, remotely from Casablanca. The UAE is three hours ahead of us, so you get about six shared working hours a day. VAT, payments and Arabic layouts are scoped before any code.
SCROLL
UAE, from Casablanca
What a remote studio offers a UAE business
Custom software development company UAE buyers can hire remotely: we design, build and run your software from Casablanca. You get a fixed price scoped up front, a start within 3–5 business days, a preview link every cycle and the repository at handover. The system is built around how you work, not around a template.
We are not a Dubai office, and we name no UAE clients. We are a small studio that builds and runs its own products, such as RIVER ERP and RAIN Store. What we offer is a clear process and honest scoping of the parts that are specific to the UAE.
The UAE keeps Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, all year. Casablanca is UTC+1, and UTC+0 during Ramadan. A 09:00 to 18:00 day in the UAE shares 12:00 to 18:00 with ours, which is six hours, or five during Ramadan. Many UAE employers now work Monday to Friday with a short Friday, a pattern the federal government adopted in 2022. We confirm your week on the first call.
This page sits under the UAE hub, Gulf hub and all markets. Our custom web development page shows the stack, and pricing explains how we quote.
UAE rules
The UAE parts we scope first
Tax and invoices. The UAE charges VAT at 5 %. A tax invoice carries the supplier’s Tax Registration Number (TRN), so a billing system stores it for your company and for each VAT-registered customer. The UAE is also rolling out e-invoicing through accredited service providers, on the Peppol network, in phases that depend on company size. We keep invoices as structured data from day one, so connecting a provider later is an integration, not a rewrite. Your accountant confirms the dates that apply to you.
Data and payments. Personal data falls under Federal Decree-Law 45 of 2021, and the DIFC and ADGM free zones run their own data protection regimes. Health and some financial data carry extra rules about where they may be stored, so we ask early and agree the hosting region before customer data arrives. Cards go through providers that serve the UAE, such as Network International, Checkout.com, Stripe, PayTabs or Telr. Buy-now-pay-later runs through Tabby or Tamara. Your lawyer confirms what applies to you.

Ecommerce developmentChoosing a route
Ready product or custom build?
Both routes start with the same discovery call. We tell you which one fits.
| Question | Ready product | Custom build |
|---|---|---|
| Good fit when | Your process is standard and you want to start fast | Your process is your edge, or you need UAE-specific filings |
| First use | Install and configure, then train the team | A first module in weeks, then the next one |
| UAE VAT and e-invoicing | Tax rate set in configuration; UAE filings and e-invoicing are custom work | Scoped and built in, with the TRN on every invoice |
| Arabic right-to-left | Differs by product, so we check before you buy | Designed right-to-left from the first screen |
Across the time difference
How a project runs with three hours between us

FAQ
Questions from UAE buyers
What businesses in the UAE ask before they commission software.
No. We are a studio in Casablanca working remotely, and we name no UAE clients. We meet on video in the shared window and put every decision in writing.
2
How much does custom software development cost?
It depends on scope. Custom projects start at $10,000, scoped up front with a fixed price and milestones. After a short discovery call we quote it and start within 3–5 business days, and the price does not drift. Prices are in US dollars.
3
How does the time difference work?
The UAE is three hours ahead of Casablanca, or four during Ramadan. A 09:00 to 18:00 UAE day shares about six hours with ours. Calls use that window, and written updates cover the rest.
4
Can you handle UAE VAT and e-invoicing?
We set VAT at 5 %, put the TRN on invoices and test totals against your accountant’s examples. E-invoicing runs through an accredited provider, so we scope that connection once you choose one. Your accountant confirms your deadlines.
5
Can the software work in Arabic?
Yes. Right-to-left screens, invoices and emails can be part of the scope. We work in English, so we recommend a native Arabic writer for customer-facing copy.
6
Who owns the code and where is the data hosted?
You own the repository, the documentation and your data. We agree the hosting region before any customer data is stored, and we can run the system for you or hand it to your team.
