Odoo in the UAE, localised properly before anyone goes live.

UAE localisation

UAE localisation installed and configured, with the chart of accounts and tax treatments mapped to how your business actually trades.

5% VAT treatments

VAT at 5% with correct handling for zero rated exports, reverse charge on imported services and designated zone supplies.

Tax invoice layouts

Tax invoice layouts carrying the required UAE fields, in English or bilingual Arabic and English.

E-invoicing readiness

E-invoicing readiness, with TRN capture and document structure aligned ahead of the mandatory rollout.

Inventory & manufacturing

Inventory, purchasing and manufacturing configured together with accounting, which is where Odoo earns its place over a CRM-only platform.

Multi-company

Multi company setup for mainland and free zone entities, with intercompany rules and consolidated reporting.

Does Odoo handle UAE VAT correctly?

With the UAE localisation and correct configuration, yes, including zero rated, exempt, reverse charge and designated zone treatments. Installing the localisation module alone is not sufficient; the mapping is the work.

Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or self hosted?

It depends on how much customisation you need. Online is simplest but limits custom code, Odoo.sh supports development with managed hosting, self hosting gives full control and full responsibility. We will recommend based on your actual requirements.

Can Odoo handle manufacturing as well as accounting?

Yes, and that combination is usually the reason to choose it. MRP, inventory, purchasing and accounting share one data model, so a production order moves stock and posts cost without an integration between systems.
