United Arab Emirates
Software, web, and app development for UAE businesses
Hakrosoft builds custom software, websites, and mobile apps for startups, SMEs, and enterprises across the UAE — bilingual in Arabic and English from the first screen, designed around UAE data protection and payment requirements, and delivered by one consistent team.
What Hakrosoft does for UAE companies
- One-hour time difference
- Arabic and English interfaces
- UAE PDPL-aware delivery
- AED budget guidance
Hakrosoft is a custom software development company founded in 2024. Our team designs, builds, tests, and supports web platforms, native mobile apps, and business systems — and stays with the product after launch.
We work remotely from Pakistan, which is one hour ahead of the UAE, so our working day overlaps almost completely with yours. We don't have a UAE office; meetings, workshops, and reviews happen online during shared hours, and short in-person visits can be arranged when a project benefits from them.
UAE services
Each service page explains what's involved, what it typically costs in AED, and the UAE-specific requirements we plan for.
Who we work with in the UAE
The same engineering team adapts to very different starting points. These are the UAE organizations we're set up to help.
Startups
MVPs and first releases with a scope sized to your runway, built on a stack you can grow on rather than rewrite.
SMEs
Customer portals, booking and ordering systems, and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and disconnected apps.
Enterprises
Enterprise applications, integrations with ERP and CRM systems, and dedicated teams that extend your in-house IT.
Healthcare
Patient portals and clinical workflow tools designed for UAE health-data rules, including in-country data storage.
Retail and e-commerce
Bilingual storefronts, loyalty and delivery apps, and integrations with local payment gateways and couriers.
Professional services
Client portals, document workflows, and practice-management tools for consultancies, legal, and financial firms.
Built for how the UAE works
UAE software has requirements that are expensive to add late. We plan for them from discovery.
Arabic and English, properly
Right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography, mirrored navigation, and bilingual content management — designed in, not translated at the end.
UAE data protection
Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), plus the separate DIFC and ADGM regimes and sector rules such as the UAE health-data law, shape how we design consent, storage, and access.
In-country hosting
Where data must stay in the UAE, we deploy to UAE cloud regions such as Microsoft Azure UAE North and AWS Middle East (UAE).
Local payments
Regional gateways such as Telr, PayTabs, Network International, and Amazon Payment Services, plus Apple Pay and buy-now-pay-later providers like Tabby and Tamara.
VAT and e-invoicing readiness
Tax invoices that meet the UAE's 5% VAT requirements, and billing systems prepared for the phased national e-invoicing rollout.
Digital identity
UAE Pass sign-in for services that need verified identity, where your organization is eligible to integrate it.
Relevant work
Two engagements from our portfolio that address problems UAE organizations raise most often. Client names are withheld under NDA; the case studies are in English.
FAQ
Questions UAE businesses ask us
Short answers here; our UAE FAQ and AED pricing guide go into more detail.
Is Hakrosoft based in the UAE?
No. Our team works remotely from Pakistan, one hour ahead of the UAE, and collaborates with UAE clients online during shared working hours. We don't have a UAE office or trade license; contracts are with Hakrosoft directly.
Can you build bilingual Arabic and English software?
Yes. We design right-to-left Arabic layouts and English layouts together, with bilingual content management and locale-aware dates, numbers, and currency, so neither language feels like an afterthought.
What does custom software cost in the UAE?
Market prices for a focused MVP typically start around AED 55,000, most business applications land between AED 150,000 and AED 370,000, and enterprise or regulated systems can exceed AED 370,000. A short discovery phase gives you a fixed estimate for your scope.
Who owns the code?
You do. Our contracts assign all code and intellectual property to the client, and you have access to the repository from day one.
