If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact our team, or call 056 383 8329A trading company in Deira came to us after trying to use a generic cloud accounting system for their import and distribution operations. They could raise invoices and track expenses, but they had no way to allocate freight and customs duties to the cost of individual products. Their gross margins were wrong on every report, because the actual landed cost of their imported goods was not being captured correctly.
This is the difference between a trading ERP and a general business system. Trading businesses have specific requirements that most software simply does not account for. StackFX is built around how trading companies actually work.
Add freight, insurance, customs duties, and clearing fees to any shipment and allocate them proportionally across all products in that shipment. Your cost of goods is accurate from the moment goods enter your warehouse.
Buy from international suppliers in USD, EUR, GBP, or any other currency. Exchange rates are applied at the time of each transaction and the system handles any exchange gain or loss automatically in your accounts.
Every Local Purchase Order goes through a configurable approval process before reaching the supplier. Managers approve from their phone or desktop. Unauthorized purchasing is prevented by the system rather than discovered at month end.
Request quotes from multiple suppliers for the same item and compare them side by side in the system. The purchasing team selects the best option and converts directly to a purchase order. No separate spreadsheet needed.
Different customers get different prices based on their agreement, order volume, or relationship history. Price lists are assigned to each customer and applied automatically on every sales order without the salesperson needing to check manually.
Enquiry comes in, quotation is prepared with customer-specific pricing, sales order confirmed, delivery note raised, invoice generated with correct VAT, payment recorded against the customer account.
Purchase requirement raised, LPO approved, sent to supplier, goods received into warehouse against the LPO, landed costs added, inventory value updated, supplier invoice matched and posted.
Every transaction posts to the correct accounts automatically. VAT is calculated on each sale and purchase. Month-end VAT 201, Corporate Tax reports, and management accounts are produced from actual data without manual consolidation.
Trading businesses in UAE face specific VAT, Corporate Tax, and regulatory requirements that StackFX handles automatically.
StackFX applies the correct VAT treatment on every transaction. Domestic sales to UAE customers attract 5% VAT. Export sales to non-GCC countries are zero-rated. Imports from overseas suppliers trigger the reverse charge mechanism. The system handles all three automatically without any manual VAT calculation by your team.
UAE free zone companies including those in JAFZA, DAFZA, DMCC, and other free zones have specific VAT treatment for transactions with mainland UAE entities and overseas customers. StackFX identifies each transaction type and applies the correct VAT treatment based on the origin and destination of the goods and the nature of the supply.
Trading companies in UAE are subject to 9% Corporate Tax on profits above AED 375,000. StackFX generates the financial statements and tax computation reports needed for UAE CT filing. Inventory values, cost of goods sold, and gross profit figures are all maintained with the accuracy that CT audits require.
As the UAE Ministry of Finance phases in the e-Invoicing mandate across business categories, StackFX generates electronic invoices in the required Peppol and PINT format for all business-to-business sales. Trading companies selling to large corporate clients and government entities are among the first affected by the mandate.
StackFX is configured for the specific workflows and compliance requirements of each trading business type.
Multi-category product trading with customer-specific pricing, sales team management, and real-time stock visibility across multiple locations.
Multi-currency purchasing, landed cost management, customs documentation support, and correct VAT treatment on imports and zero-rated exports.
JAFZA, DAFZA, DMCC, and other free zone entities with specific VAT treatment for mainland UAE sales and overseas transactions handled automatically.

What is trading ERP software and why do UAE trading companies need it?
Trading ERP software manages the complete buy-sell cycle for trading businesses including customer management, sales orders, supplier purchasing, inventory tracking, and financial accounting in one platform. UAE trading companies need it to manage multi-currency transactions, track landed costs on imports, handle UAE VAT correctly on domestic and export sales, generate FTA-compliant invoices, and get real-time stock visibility across multiple warehouses without relying on spreadsheets.
What makes StackFX trading ERP different from a general ERP system?
StackFX Trading ERP is built around trading business workflows. It includes features that general ERP systems do not have by default including landed cost allocation that adds import duties and freight to inventory value, customer-specific price lists and contracts, LPO approval workflows, quotation comparison across multiple suppliers, and consignment stock management. These features are standard in StackFX and would need expensive customisation in a generic ERP.
Does StackFX handle multi-currency purchasing for trading companies?
Yes. StackFX supports purchasing in any currency. Exchange rates are applied at transaction time and the system handles exchange gain or loss automatically in your accounts. When you buy goods in USD, EUR, or any other currency, the cost converts to AED for your general ledger while the original currency is retained on the supplier record and purchase documents.
Can StackFX manage landed costs for imported goods?
Yes. StackFX allows you to add freight, customs duties, insurance, and clearing fees to imported shipments and allocate these costs proportionally across all products in the shipment. This adds the true landed cost to your inventory value so your gross margin reporting is accurate from the moment goods enter your warehouse, not just the supplier invoice value.
Is StackFX trading ERP UAE VAT compliant?
Yes. StackFX applies 5% VAT on domestic UAE sales, zero-rates export sales to non-GCC customers, and handles the reverse charge mechanism on imported services. FTA-compliant tax invoices are generated on every applicable transaction. VAT 201 returns are produced from actual transaction data without manual calculation. The system also handles 9% Corporate Tax reporting for trading companies.
Does StackFX work for free zone trading companies in UAE?
Yes. StackFX supports the accounting and VAT treatment needed for free zone companies including those in JAFZA, DAFZA, DMCC, and DIFC. Transactions between free zone and mainland UAE entities, and between the free zone and overseas customers, are handled with the correct VAT treatment applied automatically based on transaction type and destination.
What is LPO management in trading ERP?
LPO stands for Local Purchase Order, which is the term used in UAE for purchase orders raised to local suppliers. StackFX manages the full LPO lifecycle including draft creation, manager approval, dispatch to supplier, goods receipt against the LPO, and three-way matching between the LPO, delivery note, and supplier invoice. This prevents unauthorized purchasing and ensures your payables records are accurate.
Can StackFX manage multiple warehouses for trading operations?
Yes. StackFX tracks stock across unlimited warehouse locations including those in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other Emirates, as well as free zone warehouses. You can see stock levels at each location in real time, transfer goods between warehouses, and run reports showing stock distribution across your full network with a complete movement audit trail.
Can I manage customer-specific price lists in StackFX?
Yes. StackFX supports multiple price lists that can be assigned per customer or customer group. You can set different selling prices for different customers, apply volume-based discounts, and create promotional pricing for specific periods. When a sales order is created, the correct price list applies automatically so the sales team does not need to check pricing manually for each order.
How long does trading ERP implementation take in Dubai?
For small to medium trading companies, StackFX typically goes live in 3 to 5 weeks. This includes system configuration, data migration from your existing system or Excel records, VAT and compliance setup, and role-based training for your sales, purchasing, warehouse, and accounts teams. TrueBays has a Dubai-based implementation team that handles the full setup at your office.
All built on the same StackFX platform so your data flows across the entire business.
