Software written for an Omani company can get these points right from the start. - Arabic and English for every user. Staff and customers each work in their own language, with right-to-left screens and Arabic invoices, contracts and reports. - Omani rial to three decimals. Every calculation, export and report keeps baisa correct, with no rounding to two places. - 5% VAT. Oman's standard VAT rate is 5% ([Oman Tax Authority](https://tms.taxoman.gov.om/portal/tax-rate)), so invoices carry the tax line, your VAT number and totals your accountant can reconcile. - E-invoicing. The Oman Tax Authority is introducing [electronic invoicing, called Fawtara](https://tms.taxoman.gov.om/portal/e-invoicing), in phases that start with selected large taxpayers and later reach all VAT-registered businesses. Invoices will pass through accredited service providers, so a system that issues invoices should keep clean, structured invoice data and be ready to connect. - Online payments. Rent, fees and bookings can be paid by Omani cards through a local gateway. See our guide to [payment gateways in Oman](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/payment-gateways-oman). - The Sunday to Thursday week. Reminders, approvals, deadlines and reports follow the Omani working week. - WhatsApp. Notifications and approvals reach people on the channel they already use. ## Software we build for Omani companies We build in TypeScript, Next.js and Postgres, and our own products run on the same stack: [real estate management](https://www.ogblabs.com/products/real-estate-management), HOA management and maintenance management, each on web, iOS and Android. - Portals where customers, tenants, partners or staff log in to see and do what they need. - Dashboards that pull live numbers from every system you use. - Business systems for bookings, work orders, approvals and inventory, shaped around your process. - SaaS products with billing, roles and onboarding, ready to sell. - APIs and integrations with ERP, CRM and accounting tools. - Replacements for spreadsheets and legacy tools, moved over without stopping the business. - Companion [mobile apps for iOS and Android](https://www.ogblabs.com/locations/oman/mobile-app-development) and [AI automation on WhatsApp](https://www.ogblabs.com/locations/oman/ai-chatbot-whatsapp) on top of the same data. ## Custom software, off-the-shelf SaaS or spreadsheets Building is not always the right answer. Buy standard tools for standard jobs, and build where the process is your own. **Software options for a company in Oman** | | Custom software | Off-the-shelf SaaS | Spreadsheets | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fit to your process | Exact | Close, with workarounds | Whatever you can build by hand | | Arabic screens and documents | Designed in | Depends on the vendor | Manual | | OMR three decimals and 5% VAT | Built to your rules | Depends on the vendor's settings | By formula | | Integrations | Anything with an API | Depends on the vendor | Manual | | Ownership | You own the code and the data | Subscription, data export varies | You own the files | | Cost pattern | Build cost, then hosting and care | Per-user monthly fees | Free, until mistakes cost more | | Best for | Processes central to the business, or a product to sell | Standard jobs such as accounting or email | Small teams and quick experiments | ## How a software project runs The timeline depends on the scope and is agreed with the price after discovery. From the first week of build you see working software, not status reports. 1. Discovery: we map the process, users, data and integrations. You receive a fixed price in OMR and a timeline. 2. Design: screens and a clickable prototype in English and Arabic. 3. Build: a working release every week, shown to you in a demo, with the plan adjusted together. 4. Integrations and data: connections to your existing systems and data moved from spreadsheets or the old tool. 5. Testing and training: real users try real cases before launch. 6. Launch and handover: the system goes live on Vercel, AWS or your own cloud, and the code and accounts are in your name. 7. Care: monitoring, maintenance and new features on a monthly plan. ## Where we work in Oman Our team is based in Muscat. We build software for companies anywhere in Oman, including Salalah, Sohar, Nizwa and Duqm: workshops and weekly demos run online, and we visit your office or site when the process is best understood in person. The team works Sunday to Thursday on Gulf time. Message us on WhatsApp at +968 7111 0727 to start. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does custom software cost in Oman? We do not publish software prices, because the scope differs on every project. You get a fixed price in Omani rial after a short discovery call. The price depends on the number of user roles and workflows, the screens and reports, integrations with other systems, data migration, languages and hosting. ### How long does a software project take? It depends on the scope, and the timeline is agreed with the fixed price after discovery. We release working software every week, so you can use and test it long before the final launch. ### Do you build web applications and portals? Yes. Most of the software we build in Oman is a web application: customer portals, booking and order systems, internal dashboards and SaaS products that run in the browser, with a mobile app added when field teams or customers need one. We are a web application development company in Muscat, so the same team designs, builds and hosts it. ### Do we own the source code? Yes. You own the source code and the accounts it runs on, so you are never tied to us. ### Can you connect to our ERP or accounting system? Yes. We integrate with ERPs, CRMs, accounting tools and legacy databases through their APIs or direct connections. ### Can the system work in Arabic? Yes. Screens, emails, PDFs and reports can run in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layouts designed in from the start. ### When does custom software make sense? When the process is central to your business and no off-the-shelf tool fits it well, or when you plan to sell the software as a product. For standard jobs such as accounting, buying is usually better. Our checklist for [choosing a development company in Oman](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/choose-web-development-company-oman) lists what to ask before you sign. ### Do you support the software after launch? Yes. We offer monitoring, maintenance and feature development on a monthly plan. ## Further reading - [E-invoicing in Oman (Fawtara): deadlines, requirements and how to get your systems ready](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/e-invoicing-oman-fawtara): Fawtara e-invoicing in Oman starts 1 April 2027 above OMR 5 million and 1 October 2027 for other VAT payers: what changes and how to get ready. - [Oman's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL): what your website and app must do](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/oman-pdpl-compliance-websites-apps): Oman's Personal Data Protection Law, fully enforced since February 2026 and amended in September 2026: a practical checklist for websites, apps and stores. - [ERP vs custom software in Oman: when to buy Odoo or SAP and when to build your own](https://www.ogblabs.com/guides/erp-vs-custom-software-oman): Should an Omani company buy an ERP like Odoo, SAP or Dynamics, or build custom software?
