Two United Arab Emirates software options, compared side by side for United Arab Emirates trades.

Which should you choose?

First Bit ERP and PACT ERP are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and United Arab Emirates-specific notes below against your trade and region.

First Bit ERP

Tier A · Listed

Construction ERP for UAE contractors: costing, procurement, accounting and payroll

First Bit sells a construction ERP that it says is built exclusively for UAE contractors, covering project cost control, procurement, accounting, VAT and corporate tax, HR and payroll, equipment and warehouse. The company was founded in Moscow in 1997, says it has been in the UAE for 13 years with a separate UAE legal entity since 2022, and has an office in Falcon House, Dubai Investment Park. First Bit says more than 2,000 UAE companies have chosen it.

Pros

+ Built for contracting: project cost control, procurement and equipment
+ VAT returns and corporate tax calculation built in (per First Bit)
+ Arabic-English bilingual reporting (per First Bit)
+ Cloud or on-premises, with implementation, training and support in the subscription

Cons

− No public prices: quote based on users, deployment and scope
− Phased ERP implementation takes time
− More system than a small trade firm needs

United Arab Emirates note

First Bit describes the software as FTA-approved for VAT and says it covers corporate tax and supports UAE e-invoicing integration as the rules roll out. The FTA publishes a list of accredited tax accounting software with a validity date for each product, so check First Bit's current entry there before relying on the approval. First Bit is not on the Ministry of Finance list of accredited e-invoicing service providers (checked 30 September 2026), so UAE e-invoices would go through a separate accredited provider.

Typical United Arab Emirates pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. First Bit says the price depends on company size, number of users, cloud or on-premises deployment and implementation scope, and that the subscription includes implementation, training, maintenance and support.
