Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Dynamics 365 and custom ERP, delivered by one accountable team.
RAKEZ hosts factories, warehouses and service firms across several industrial and business zones. We implement ERP that handles production, stock and group accounting for Ras Al Khaimah operations.
RAKEZ, Ras Al Khaimah, UAEOn-site and remote ERP support
ERP software for RAKEZ companies serves two groups: manufacturers in the Al Ghail, Al Hamra and Al Hulaila industrial zones needing BOMs, production costing, landed costs and multi-store stock, and smaller service firms in the business zones. Odoo Manufacturing and ERPNext suit small and mid-sized Ras Al Khaimah factories, while larger multi-plant operations often consider Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Companies looking for ERP software in RAKEZ tend to fall into two groups. The first are industrial firms with a factory or warehouse on a land plot in one of the Ras Al Khaimah industrial zones, often producing building materials, plastics, food products, chemicals or metal goods. The second are smaller service, consulting and trading companies licensed in the business zones. Their ERP needs are very different, and the platform choice should reflect that.
Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone was formed by bringing the emirate's free zone and economic zone authorities together. It offers free zone and non-free zone licences, and its industrial areas include Al Ghail, Al Hamra and Al Hulaila, alongside business zones for office-based companies. Saqr Port and RAK International Airport give manufacturers direct routes for raw material imports and exports, while many sell finished goods into Dubai and the wider GCC.
For the industrial group, ERP is about production orders, bills of materials, machine and labour costing, landed costs on imported inputs, and stock across raw material, work-in-progress and finished goods stores. Many also run a separate mainland company for local distribution, so intercompany sales and consolidated reporting matter. Our manufacturing ERP page covers production features in more depth.
Our office is in Dubai, roughly an hour's drive from most RAKEZ industrial zones, and we deliver on-site workshops, stock count support and go-live cover in Ras Al Khaimah with remote support in between. We implement Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and custom ERP.
RAKEZ companies, especially manufacturers moving goods between zones and the mainland, run into VAT and customs questions that the ERP needs to record properly. The notes below explain the setup. Confirm the treatment of your transactions with your tax advisor.
Some free zone areas in Ras Al Khaimah are listed as VAT designated zones, where certain movements of goods can be outside the scope of VAT, while other RAKEZ areas are not. Whether your premises fall inside a designated area changes the tax codes you need. Check the current Cabinet Decision list and confirm with your tax advisor.
Goods sold from a free zone company into mainland UAE usually involve customs duty and import VAT considerations. The ERP should store customs declaration numbers against sales and record duty as a cost so margins are correct.
Manufacturing and processing of goods in a free zone can be a qualifying activity for a Qualifying Free Zone Person, subject to substance and other conditions. Sales to mainland customers need careful classification. Tag revenue by customer type and region; your tax advisor confirms eligibility.
Manufacturers of goods subject to UAE excise tax, such as sweetened drinks, need separate product classifications and excise reporting. If this applies to you, we configure the product master accordingly and your advisor confirms the rates and registration.
Factories with large hourly or shift-based workforces need overtime, allowances and accommodation deductions calculated accurately before the WPS Salary Information File is generated.

This is the process we most often configure for a RAKEZ manufacturer that imports inputs, produces in Ras Al Khaimah and sells through a mainland distribution company. Each step creates the records needed for costing, customs and group reporting.
One shared database: every step updates stock, finance and reports in real time.
Industrial companies in Ras Al Khaimah usually need these six areas working together before they see a real improvement in cost control.
Multi-level bills of materials, routings and work centres, with material reservations so the shop floor does not run short mid-batch.
Material, labour, power and overhead costs rolled into each production order, with variance reports against standard cost.
Freight, insurance, duty and clearing charges spread across imported inputs so raw material values reflect what you actually paid.
Trace finished goods back to raw material lots, which matters for food, chemical and plastic products and for customer complaints.
Preventive maintenance schedules for machines, spare parts stock and breakdown logs tied to equipment records.
Run the RAKEZ company and a mainland trading arm in one system with intercompany invoices and consolidated reports.
We support clients across the RAKEZ industrial and business zones and the logistics points they rely on.

Ask an ExpertFor small and mid-sized factories, Odoo Manufacturing and ERPNext Manufacturing both cover bills of materials, work orders and costing well. Larger operations with complex costing or several plants often look at Dynamics 365. We assess your production type, discrete or process, before recommending one.
Yes. Odoo, ERPNext and Dynamics 365 Business Central support multiple companies in one database, with intercompany transactions and consolidated reports. Zoho can do this with separate organizations and consolidated reporting tools.

It depends on the exact zone and premises. Only specific areas are listed in the VAT designated zone Cabinet Decision. Please confirm with your tax advisor, and we will configure tax codes to match their advice.
A single-plant rollout covering finance, purchasing, inventory and production often takes 10-16 weeks. Data quality in bills of materials and opening stock is usually the factor that decides the timeline.
Yes. Accommodation, transport and similar workforce costs can be recorded by site or cost centre and allocated to production overheads, so product costs reflect the full cost of running the plant.
