What Dubai teams need

Dubai's businesses move quickly and value launch speed, polish and bilingual products. Many have founders or teams from India, and a partner who shares a working day and understands both markets is a genuine advantage.

More about the Dubai market

Jebel Ali port and the free zones connect it to markets across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, the airport is one of the world's busiest, and real estate and hospitality are central to the economy. The DIFC is the region's leading financial centre, with its own laws and regulator, and the emirate is investing heavily in digital government and AI.

Technologies we use

Technologies behind our custom software.

Business software has to be dependable for years, so we favour proven, well-supported technology: TypeScript or Python services, PostgreSQL, message queues for anything that must not be lost, and web front ends that run on any office machine. Integrations with the ERP, accounting and identity systems you already use are designed in from the start, not added later.

Our development process

Turning ideas into custom software that work.

A structured, agile process that keeps your software development project on time, on budget and visible at every stage.

01

Process Discovery

We sit with the people doing the work and map how it actually happens, including the informal steps that never made it into the SOP.

Deliverables: Process maps, requirement specification, integration inventory

02

Solution Design

Data model, roles, workflows and integrations designed and reviewed with you, with a phased rollout plan so one department goes live first.

Deliverables: Architecture document, data model, UI prototypes, phase plan

03

Iterative Development

Built in sprints with demos to the people who will use it, so feedback arrives while it is still cheap to act on.

Deliverables: Sprint releases on staging, user feedback log

04

Integration & Data Migration

Connections to ERP, accounting and identity systems, plus migration of historical data with reconciliation reports that prove nothing was lost.

Deliverables: Integration tests, migration and reconciliation reports

05

Training & Rollout

Role-based training, a supported parallel-running period and a go-live checklist, one department or site at a time.

Deliverables: Training material, user guides, go-live sign-off

06

Support & Enhancement

Monitoring, fixes, upgrades and new modules on an agreed plan, with documentation kept current so you are never dependent on one person.

Deliverables: SLA-backed support, release notes, updated documentation

Success stories

Products our team has shipped.

Real products, live today, built end to end by the same engineers who would work on your Dubai project.

Working together

Working with Dubai clients.

Hours and overlap

Dubai is only 1.5 hours behind India, so we share almost the whole working day and can join calls and standups at normal hours.

Meetings and workshops

Remote engagement over calls and your chat tools, with near-complete working-day overlap and a named lead as your single point of contact.

Regulation and data

The UAE's federal data protection law covers most personal data, the DIFC and ADGM have their own data regimes, and health and financial data carry sector rules. We design hosting and data flows around whichever applies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

About software development in Dubai, and about working with Drema.

Do you have a team in Dubai?

We work with Dubai clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.

Can custom software work with the systems Dubai businesses already run?

That is usually the point of building it. We integrate with the ERP, accounting and CRM you already use rather than replacing them, and connect to local rails such as UAE Pass; Tabby and Tamara; and Stripe and Network International. We also design for the local rules from day one: The UAE's federal data protection law covers most personal data, the DIFC and ADGM have their own data regimes, and health and financial data carry sector rules. We design hosting and data flows around whichever applies.

How long does software development take for a Dubai company?

We do not start with a two-year programme. The first department or process is usually live in ten to fourteen weeks, running on real data, and further modules follow on a rolling plan. Integrations and data migration are the parts that most affect timeline, so we assess them in discovery.

Which Dubai industries do you build custom software for?

Most often Real Estate, Travel & Hospitality, Logistics & Supply Chain and Fintech, because that is where Dubai's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.

Which local systems can you integrate with?

Most Dubai projects touch UAE Pass; Tabby and Tamara; Stripe and Network International; and WhatsApp Business API. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.

Should we build custom software or buy a product?

Buy where your process is genuinely standard — accounting, payroll, email. Build where the process is a source of competitive advantage or where no product fits without workarounds that cost more than the licence. We will tell you when buying is the better answer, including when it means we do less work.

How do you handle integration with our existing systems?

Through whatever interface the system exposes — API, database replica, file exchange or message queue — with an integration layer that isolates your new system from their quirks. We assess the integration surface during scoping because it is a common source of overrun.

Can you meet our security and compliance requirements?

We build with SSO, role-based access, encryption, audit logging and least-privilege as standard, and we work with your security team's requirements directly. Tell us the framework you are held to and we will design against it.

What about the users who resist the change?

Involving them early is the only approach that works. When people who do the job daily shape the design, adoption stops being enforcement. Phased rollout with parallel running also removes the fear of a hard cutover.

How long does an enterprise project take?

First department live in three to five months is a realistic target for a well-scoped process. We deliberately avoid the pattern where nothing is usable for two years, because requirements drift faster than that.

Who owns the code?

You do, entirely, in your repositories. We also document the system and train your team so continuing without us is a genuine option rather than a theoretical one.
