UAE & GCC

A small studio for UAE teams that need software, AI, and trading systems.

Futurebits takes work from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the rest of the UAE on a +971 line. Each catalog service has its own UAE & Gulf landing. Country hubs cover KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman — not 540 thin city clones.

+971 58 516 5671 · GST (UTC+4) · Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah

Most ‘Dubai agencies’ sell presence. We sell a named team, a written scope, and weekly demos. The phone is UAE. The work is in your GitHub, GitLab, or whatever you already pay for.

Start from the track you actually need: production AI, markets infrastructure, or design-plus-frontend. Then open the dedicated geo page for that service — unique title, H1, and body for UAE and Gulf buyers. If two services look identical, we will pick one on the call.

Wider GCC buyers should read /gulf and the country hub that matches them. We do not generate a Riyadh or Doha clone of every service. That is a doorway set; it does not rank and it does not help a real buyer.

We are not a staff-augmentation bench and we are not a local sponsorship. If you need a large on-site crew in Business Bay, we are the wrong call.

How we work with UAE companies

GST hours, +971 phone

Sunday–Thursday by default. India overlap is late morning GST. You can call +971 58 516 5671 or book a slot on Cal.com.

English working language

Interfaces can take Arabic later. We will not auto-translate legal or brand copy, and we will say so before you spend.

Your repo, your cloud

Access, staging, and a data map before production data moves. Useful when PDPL or a group IT review shows up.

Build

Free-zone and mainland operators who need software in their repo, not a local retainer that never ships.

Category hub
  • SaaS Development

    UAE SaaS buyers expect English admin, AED pricing, and VAT-ready invoices from week one.

  • Web App Development

    Most Dubai web apps fail on the Arabic toggle or the Sunday–Thursday week. We write both into scope.

  • Custom Software Development

    Family offices and free-zone operators come to us when the off-the-shelf stack cannot hold their process.

  • MVP Development

    We cut a UAE MVP to one hypothesis you can demo in DIFC before the next investor coffee.

  • Full Stack Development

    One team owns browser to database so your Dubai launch does not split across three vendors.

  • Frontend Development

    React/Next in your repo, GST standups, and layouts that do not collapse when Arabic copy arrives.

  • Backend Development

    APIs with idempotency and audit logs. Useful when a UAE regulator or enterprise buyer asks how a write happened.

  • API Development

    Partner APIs for UAE banks, logistics, and marketplaces. Sandbox first, then a written go-live checklist.

  • Dashboard Development

    Ops dashboards for GST hours: the number a manager in Dubai can check before the London open.

  • Admin Panel Development

    Admin tools your bilingual staff will actually use. Roles, not a shared password in a WhatsApp group.

  • Client Portal Development

    Portals for UAE clients who expect English, invoices, and a mobile-usable status view.

  • Internal Tool Development

    Replace the Excel-plus-WhatsApp ops stack common in free-zone teams with a tool in your repo.

  • CRM Development

    A CRM that matches how UAE sales actually work: WhatsApp, referrals, and a Sunday start.

  • Marketplace Development

    Two-sided markets for UAE supply and demand, with AED settlement and KYC as requirements, not later.

  • Subscription Platform Development

    Subscriptions that can bill AED, show VAT, and cancel without a support ticket storm.

  • Workflow Automation Software

    Kill the copy-paste between Tabreed-style ops sheets, email, and chat. Written triggers, weekly demos.

  • Reporting Platform Development

    Board and family-office packs that refresh themselves. No intern rebuilding a slide every Sunday.

  • Business Process Automation

    Map the process a UAE ops lead actually runs, then automate the dull middle. We skip the transformation workshop.

  • No-Code to Code Migration

    Graduate the Airtable/Zapier tangle before a UAE enterprise security review kills it.

  • Legacy Software Modernization

    Keep the data, replace the 2014 desktop tool your Dubai staff still lives in.

  • Excel Automation & Smart Reporting

    UAE finance teams still close in Excel. We automate the refresh and leave a file they can audit.

AI & Automation

Support, ops, and product teams in Dubai and Abu Dhabi who want AI that answers in English, hands off to a human, and survives PDPL review.

Category hub
  • AI SaaS Development

    AI products sold into the GCC need evals, a fallback, and a story for PDPL. We write those in.

  • AI Product Development

    We will tell a Dubai product team when the model is decoration. If it ships, it has a metric.

  • AI Workflow Automation

    Document in, action out, human in the loop. Built for Sunday–Thursday ops, not a US timezone bot.

  • Chatbot Development

    UAE support lives on web chat and WhatsApp. The bot answers in English, then hands off to a named agent.

  • RAG Application Development

    Retrieve from your policies and contracts, cite the chunk, refuse when the corpus is thin. PDPL-aware hosting.

  • AI Document Processing

    Trade licenses, invoices, and Emirates ID packets. Extraction with a human review queue, not a magic PDF.

  • AI Search Systems

    Search that understands your UAE corpus: mixed English, scanned Arabic, and the filenames nobody normalized.

  • AI Recommendation Systems

    Recommendations with an explain line. Useful when a Dubai merchandiser has to defend why SKU A won.

  • AI Agents Development

    Agents with tools, timeouts, and a kill switch. We do not leave a loop running unattended on a UAE desk.

  • LLM Integration

    Wire the model into your stack with logging and cost caps. GST-hour support while we land it.

  • OpenAI API Integration

    OpenAI (or the model you already approved) behind your auth, with a written fallback if the key dies.

  • Custom AI Tools

    A small internal tool, not a platform. One job a Dubai operator repeats every week.

  • AI Dashboard Development

    Show model quality, cost, and the queue. The chart a UAE ops lead can read without a data scientist.

  • AI-Based Data Extraction

    Pull structured fields from the messy PDFs free-zone vendors still send. Confidence scores, not silent guesses.

  • AI Customer Support Tools

    Deflection that a UAE support manager can measure by Tuesday. Macros and handoff, not a personality.

  • Custom GPT & Knowledge Base Solutions

    A GPT on your policies, with citations. Hosted where your UAE counsel can accept the data map.

  • AI Content Generation Systems

    Drafts for English UAE campaigns. A human editor stays in the loop; we will not auto-publish Arabic.

  • AI Video Generation

    Short product clips for paid social. Brand kit and cut list first; we do not spray unreviewed footage.

Design

Founders and product leads who need bilingual-ready UI and frontend in the same sprint, not a Figma dump.

Category hub
  • UI/UX Design

    Flows for bilingual products. We design the English path and leave room for Arabic without restacking the page.

  • Product Design

    Decide what a UAE user does in the first three screens. Then we draw and ship those, not a 40-screen myth.

  • Web App Design

    Web apps that survive luxury-brand taste and a harsh noon screen on Sheikh Zayed Road.

  • SaaS UI Design

    SaaS UI that a DIFC analyst and a warehouse clerk can both finish. Density where it earns its keep.

  • Dashboard UI Design

    Trading and ops dashboards: the number, the state, the next action. No ornament that hides a breach.

  • Design Systems

    A token set that can grow an Arabic theme later. We start English-first so you can ship this quarter.

  • Wireframing

    Low-fi that forces the Sunday kickoff decision: what is in v1 for the Dubai launch.

  • Prototyping

    Clickable prototypes you can put in front of a UAE buyer before we write production CSS.

  • Landing Page Design

    Landing pages for AED offers and GST-hour CTAs. One job: book the call, not win an award.

  • Mobile App UI Design

    Mobile UI that works in a car on Emirates Road and in a quiet ADGM office. Thumbs first.

  • User Flow Design

    Map the real UAE path: WhatsApp inbound, English form, human callback. Then we cut the extra steps.

  • Figma Design

    Figma in your project, components named, and a frontend partner on the same team. No orphan file.

  • Website UX Audit & Product Experience Audit

    We score the UAE site the way a buyer from Dubai Internet City actually clicks, including the Arabic switch if you have one.

  • UX Research

    Short research with the users you can reach in Dubai or remotely. Five conversations beat a 60-page persona deck.

  • Branding & Visual Identity

    Identity that can sit next to DIFC and Hub71 neighbors without looking like a template. We will say no to gold-foil clichés.

  • Data Visualization Design

    Charts a family office or desk head can read in ten seconds. We cut the 3D pies.

Markets & Trading Systems

DIFC and ADGM desks, prop shops, and family-office traders who want kill switches and fees in the spec, not a weekend bot.

Category hub

Integrations & Platform

Teams wiring Stripe, WhatsApp, CRM, and auth for UAE customers without a six-vendor pile-up.

Category hub
  • Payment Gateway Integration

    Checkout for UAE cards and the processor you already have. Reconciliation in the same sprint.

  • Stripe Integration

    Stripe for AED and cards UAE customers actually hold. Webhooks idempotent, receipts you can show finance.

  • Razorpay Integration

    Razorpay is an India rail. For UAE checkout we will steer you to Stripe or a local processor and say why.

  • Subscription Billing Setup

    Recurring AED billing, proration, and dunning that does not shame a customer in a WhatsApp screenshot.

  • CRM Integration

    HubSpot or the CRM you already pay for, wired to the forms and WhatsApp inbox your Dubai team uses.

  • WhatsApp API Integration

    Official WhatsApp Cloud API. Templates, opt-in, and a handoff. We will not scrape WhatsApp Web.

  • Email Automation Integration

    Lifecycle mail that respects GST send windows and the Friday–Saturday weekend.

  • Google Analytics Setup

    GA4 with UAE consent reality in mind: events you can defend, not 40 tags from a leftover GTM dump.

  • CMS Integration

    A CMS your marketing lead in Dubai can edit without paging engineering every Thursday.

  • Third-Party API Integration

    The third-party you already signed. Sandbox, retries, and a written failure mode.

  • Authentication Setup

    Auth that survives an enterprise SSO ask from a UAE group. MFA on, passwords not in a sheet.

  • Role-Based Access Control

    Roles for the org chart you actually have: sponsor in Abu Dhabi, operators in Dubai, vendor in India.

  • Database Setup

    A database with backups and a region you can point at in a PDPL conversation. We pick it with you.

  • Cloud Deployment

    Vercel, AWS, or the cloud your UAE IT already approved. Staging first, then a rollback you have rehearsed.

Startup Tech Partner

Hub71, in5, and DIFC Innovation Hub teams that need an MVP with cut lines, not a slide about product-market fit.

Category hub
  • Startup MVP

    A Hub71 or in5 MVP with one metric. We will cut the marketplace-plus-AI-plus-app fantasy.

  • Founder Tech Partner

    A founder in Dubai gets a named counterpart, not a rotating bench. Weekly demos in GST.

  • Product Strategy

    Two or three written bets. We will not sell a 12-week strategy that never touches the repo.

  • Product Consulting

    A short, opinionated read of the product. Useful before you hire a 20-person agency in Business Bay.

  • Tech Consulting

    Architecture advice you can act on this month. We decline work that is only a slide.

  • SaaS Launch Partner

    Launch the UAE SaaS with billing, auth, and a landing page that books a call. Same team.

  • Prototype to Product

    Take the Figma or no-code demo you showed at GITEX and make it a repo someone can maintain.

  • Idea to MVP

    From a WhatsApp voice note to a scoped MVP. We write the cut list before we write code.

  • Product Roadmap Planning

    A roadmap that fits a Sunday–Thursday team and a real budget. Dates we will defend.

  • Software Architecture Planning

    A one-sitting architecture for the next two quarters. We name the boring parts: auth, backups, kill switches.

  • End-to-End Product Design & Development

    Design and build in one pod for a UAE launch. No hand-off to a mystery frontend shop.

Frequently asked questions

Are you a Dubai agency with a walk-in office?

No. Futurebits is a small remote studio with a UAE phone (+971 58 516 5671). We deliver in your repo, keep GST hours, and travel to Dubai when a workshop is the faster path. If you need a brass-plate local entity as the vendor, say so on the call — we will tell you if that blocks us.

Can you work Sunday to Thursday?

Yes. GST (UTC+4) is the default for UAE work. India overlap is late morning GST. We will not book you into a 11pm Dubai standup unless you ask.

Do you speak Arabic?

Working language is English. We design and build interfaces that can take Arabic copy without restacking the layout. Native Arabic writing is yours or a specialist we can introduce. We will not auto-translate legal or brand copy.

How do you handle UAE data protection?

We write a short data map before anything leaves your tenant: what is stored, where it is hosted, who can see it. PDPL questions get a written answer. We do not move production data into a personal laptop to ‘go faster’.

What does a first engagement look like?

A 30-minute call, a written scope with cut lines, then a 2–4 week slice in your repo. You get weekly demos and a named team. Book a call if that is the shape you want.

Do you cover all 90 services for UAE companies?

Yes — each service has a dedicated UAE & Gulf landing under /uae/services/… plus the global catalog page. Start here, pick AI / Markets / Design, or open the geo URL. If two services overlap, we will pick one on the call instead of selling both.

Book a GST-hour scoping call

Thirty minutes. We will tell you if we are the wrong team. 90 services in this view, same delivery model.
