Partners and products we connect
Zoho Inventory in the UAE costs from AED 59 per organisation per month on the Standard plan, billed annually, plus 5% VAT, with a free plan for 50 orders a month. New UAE accounts are hosted in Zoho's UAE data centre, with data residency in the UAE. Gulf Infotech, one of the oldest Zoho partners in the UAE and a Zoho Authorized Partner in Dubai, sets it up for trading and retail companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
The real problem
Zoho Inventory tracks stock across warehouses, handles sales and purchase orders and ships them, sharing its data with Zoho Books; the full feature list is on the [Zoho Inventory page](/zoho-inventory/). In the UAE the work is mostly local detail: a Jebel Ali or Sharjah warehouse beside a mainland showroom, suppliers invoicing in USD, EUR or CNY while you report in AED, and 5% VAT on every sale and import. We set up one organisation per legal entity, each warehouse as a location, AED as base currency with your supplier currencies, and VAT on items so invoices carry the right treatment and your TRN.

In practice
Zoho opened its UAE data centre in January 2026, with data residency in the UAE, and places each account in the data centre of the country chosen at sign-up, so a new UAE Zoho Inventory account is hosted in the UAE. Older accounts in another region can ask Zoho to migrate. Zoho lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS certifications for its UAE data centres.
UAE e-invoicing runs through Zoho Books: Zoho is a Ministry of Finance accredited e-invoicing service provider, and Books sends PINT-AE e-invoices over Peppol on Professional or higher with the e-invoicing add-on. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more appoint a provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027; others appoint by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. We set up Inventory and Books on one organisation so your B2B sales reach the e-invoicing flow. See UAE e-invoicing.

FAQ
Zoho Inventory costs AED 59 per organisation per month for Standard, AED 139 for Professional, AED 219 for Premium and AED 399 for Enterprise on annual billing, as of October 2026. Monthly billing costs AED 69 to AED 499. A free plan covers 50 orders a month. Add 5% VAT. These are Zoho's own UAE prices.
Yes. Each location keeps its own stock, and transfers move goods between them. Where the free zone and mainland businesses are separate legal entities with their own TRNs, we set up one Zoho organisation for each, so VAT and accounts stay separate and the group still reports in AED.
New UAE accounts are. Zoho's UAE data centre opened in January 2026, and Zoho assigns each account to the data centre of the country chosen at sign-up. An existing account in another region can ask Zoho to migrate it, and we plan the move.
UAE e-invoicing is a Zoho Books feature. With Inventory and Books on one organisation, your sales invoices reach Books, which sends them as PINT-AE e-invoices over Peppol on Professional or a higher plan with the e-invoicing add-on. We test the flow with your largest customers before your mandate date.
Yes. We support traders in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Setup, data import and training are delivered remotely, so the service is the same in every emirate.
