ERP development · Building materials ERP
Building materials ERP software in the UAE serves a trade where stock is sold by the tonne, the metre, the bag and the pallet, often from a yard, a store and a showroom at once. Deliveries go to construction sites on credit, quotes are prepared against project bills of quantities and prices move with steel, cement and freight. e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, includes a building materials preset shaped by these habits.
Quick answer
Building materials ERP software in the UAE handles stock in bulk and pack units with conversions, holds it across yards and stores at FIFO cost, quotes from a BoQ, delivers to sites on credit and collects through post-dated cheques. e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, includes a building materials preset, an AI Quote Assistant that reads BoQs, site deliveries, contractor credit, a PDC register, landed cost and finance with VAT 201 and e-invoicing readiness, in Arabic and English. Next Orbit configures units and trains every team.

Part of our ERP development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallNext Orbit implements from one office in Dubai for materials traders across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the wider UAE and the GCC, including the industrial areas where yards and warehouses sit.
The project covers units of measure with conversions, yard and store stock, project quotes from BoQs, site delivery notes, contractor credit limits and post-dated cheques, purchasing with landed cost, and finance with VAT 201, corporate tax and e-invoicing readiness, bilingual throughout.
A product bought by the tonne and sold by the bag, or bought by the pallet and sold by the square metre, keeps one stock figure with each unit carrying its own barcode and price.
Credit limits, ageing, statements, reminders and a post-dated cheque register with maturity tracking decide whether the next site delivery is released or held.
The quote assistant reads a bill of quantities, matches lines to the catalogue and drafts a quotation within margin rules, with versions kept as the project negotiates.
Delivery notes carry the site, the receiver and a signature or photo from the driver app, so a disputed delivery is settled from the record rather than argument.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our ERP development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
A visit to the yard and store to map units, locations, delivery routes, credit practices and the documents your contractors expect to receive.
e-tijariX in the building materials preset on Next Orbit sample data, from a BoQ quote through site delivery to cheque collection.
Catalogue with units, opening stock per location at cost, contractors with limits and balances, PDCs and supplier balances are reconciled.
Unit conversions, delivery routes, the driver app, credit rules, PDC register, landed cost, VAT codes, document templates and roles.
Yard and store counts, Launch Centre checks, guided tours for drivers, sales and accounts, then ongoing support from the Dubai office.
Who it is for
Yards selling bulk units by the load to contractors on large credit balances, with site deliveries scheduled daily and prices tied to commodity movements.
Showrooms holding lots and shades across a warehouse and display floor, quoting projects and delivering in stages as the site is ready.
Distributors with thousands of SKUs serving counter sales, dealer pricing and branch replenishment, with returns and supplier claims tracked by line.
Suppliers quoting from consultant BoQs with project pricing, kits for common installations and consolidated reporting across branches and project cost centres.

Bulk and pack units with conversions, yard stock alongside store and showroom stock, project quotes from bills of quantities, site deliveries with proof, contractor credit limits and post-dated cheques. e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, sets these up through its building materials preset.
Each product defines its base unit and conversions, and every unit carries its own barcode and price. A receipt by the tonne and a sale by the bag reduce the same stock figure, FIFO cost is carried through the conversion and reports can be shown in whichever unit the manager prefers.
Yes. Credit limits, ageing and the PDC register feed a release check on each sales order and delivery note, so a load is held until finance approves or a cheque is received. Reminders go out automatically, and statements with verification links reach the contractor by WhatsApp or email.
Cheques are recorded against the customer with maturity date and bank, tracked through presentation and clearance, matched in bank reconciliation and handled with an audit trail if bounced or replaced. Cash flow in the Executive Cockpit includes maturing cheques in its thirteen-week forecast.
Yes. The AI Quote Assistant reads the bill of quantities in PDF, Excel, email or text, matches lines to catalogue items and proposes prices within margin rules for the salesperson to review. Versions are retained through negotiation, and the final version becomes the sales order for staged call-offs. See quotation software.
Yes. Landed cost allocates freight, duty, clearance and other charges across the goods receipt so each FIFO layer reflects the full cost. Customs declarations flow to the VAT return and reverse charge is applied where it applies. Confirm treatments with your tax adviser; this is not tax or legal advice.
Yes. Next Orbit works from one office in Dubai and runs scoping visits, training and go-live on site for yards and stores in Sharjah, Ajman, Mussafah and across the UAE. Support is the same wherever the company is licensed. See ERP solutions in Sharjah.
