ERP development · e-tijariX for makers
e-tijariX serves as an ERP for manufacturing in the UAE where production is light assembly, kitting or batch making rather than a scheduled factory floor. The catalogue kits feature holds each finished product as a kit with its component list, so assembly consumes components and books the finished item at the cost they actually carried. Purchasing, FIFO and FEFO lots, dealer sales of finished goods, VAT and e-invoicing sit in the same database. Next Orbit offers, implements and supports it.
Quick answer
e-tijariX is an ERP for manufacturing in the UAE, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, for light manufacturing, assembly and kitting. Catalogue and inventory defines finished goods as kits with their bills of materials, holds raw materials and finished stock in FIFO or FEFO lots and batches across warehouses, and records production movements between them. Purchasing runs PR to payment with supplier scorecards, finished goods sell through dealers and the B2B store, and VAT 201 and PINT AE e-invoicing come from the same ledger.
What we deliver
Pick a deliverable to see what it covers and the part of the stack behind it.
Deliverable 01
Each finished good is set up as a kit with component SKUs, quantities, variants and units of measure. Assembly draws the components from stock at FIFO cost and books the finished kit; disassembly reverses it.
From the stack
Deliverable 02
Raw materials arrive in lots with expiry where it applies, FEFO picks the oldest usable lot and each run creates a finished batch moved from the raw warehouse to finished goods. See inventory software.
From the stack
Deliverable 03
Purchase request, RFQ, purchase order, goods receipt, bill and payment run with approvals and a three-way match, and vendor scorecards rate each raw-material supplier. See purchase order software.

Deliverable 04
Finished batches sell through dealers and wholesale at tier prices with credit terms, through the B2B store and through quoting for projects. See B2B platform.
From the stack
Deliverable 05
Cost of goods sold comes from the FIFO layers actually consumed, so profit on invoice is true. VAT 201 is prepared from live data and PINT AE e-invoices go through accredited providers.

Discovery CallNext Orbit works from one office in Dubai and serves assemblers and small producers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the rest of the UAE and the GCC.
e-tijariX does not include MRP, shop-floor scheduling or machine integration. When a maker outgrows kits and needs work orders, routing or production planning, Next Orbit builds those as custom modules that read stock and bills of materials from e-tijariX through its public REST API and webhooks, so the ledger stays in one place.
A finished product is defined once as a kit listing its components and quantities; assembling it consumes those components from stock and books the finished unit without a spreadsheet in between.
Raw materials arrive in lots with supplier and expiry where relevant, FEFO picks the oldest first, and the finished batch keeps its own lot so a complaint can be traced back to the inputs.
The finished unit carries the actual FIFO cost of the components consumed, so profit on invoice for each finished-goods sale is answered from real purchase prices rather than a standard cost.
MRP, shop-floor scheduling and machine integration are not part of e-tijariX; Next Orbit builds those as custom modules connected through the REST API when a plant needs them.
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.
Next Orbit reviews your products, component lists, batch practice and sales channels to confirm kits and lots cover the process or a custom module is needed.
Engineers demo assembly, lots, purchasing and dealer sales on Next Orbit sample data, following one of your own finished products.
Components, finished goods, kit definitions, opening lots with cost and suppliers are imported through the Migration Centre, test-run and reconciled.
Warehouses for raw, work in progress and finished goods, FIFO or FEFO rules, dealer tiers, B2B store pricing and VAT settings are set up.
Teams follow the Launch Centre and guided tours; where planning or work orders are needed, Next Orbit scopes the custom module.
Who it is for
Equipment, furniture or electronics assembled from bought-in parts, each defined once as a kit and sold to dealers with margin known at true cost.
Inputs and outputs held in FEFO lots with expiry dates, batch traceability for recalls and finished goods sold to distributors on credit terms.
Bulk stock repacked into retail kits under several brands, with GS1 labels printed per pack and dealer tiers set for each sales channel.
Fast-moving finished lines sold through dealers, serial tracking on each unit for warranty and minimum rules that reorder components before a line stops.
Platforms we offer
e-trainia is our own platform; e-tijariX, MeezanX and AuthentiQ we implement and support. Each can be customised for your operation.

Explore e-tijariXQuestions, answered
For light manufacturing, assembly, kitting and batch production, yes: kits with bills of materials, FIFO and FEFO lots, purchasing with scorecards, costed finished goods, dealer sales, VAT and e-invoicing. It does not include MRP, shop-floor scheduling or machine integration. Next Orbit builds those as custom modules when a plant needs them. See e-tijariX.
A kit is a catalogue item whose definition lists component SKUs and quantities. Assembling a kit consumes those components from stock at their FIFO cost and books the finished kit into stock at the combined cost. Disassembly reverses it. Variants and units of measure let one definition cover several finished sizes or packs.
Yes. Raw materials are received into lots with supplier and expiry where relevant, and each production run creates a finished batch with its own lot number. Lot history links the finished batch to the input lots and to the customer invoices it was sold on, which supports recalls and quality complaints.
From the FIFO layers of the components actually consumed when the kit was assembled, so the finished unit carries real purchase prices rather than a standard. Profit on invoice is then answered from that true cost when the finished good is sold. Labour and overhead allocation belong in a custom production module.
Tax invoices with the required fields, VAT 201 prepared from live sales and purchases including imported inputs, and PINT AE e-invoices sent through accredited providers via a generic connector. Businesses with revenue at or above AED 50 million go live on 1 January 2027, all others on 1 July 2027. This is not tax or legal advice.
When work orders, routing, capacity planning, machine data or labour costing decide the margin, because none of those are in e-tijariX. Next Orbit keeps stock, kits, purchasing, sales and finance on e-tijariX and builds the production module as custom software connected through the REST API and webhooks.
Dealers apply online, pass KYC and risk review and receive a tier with credit terms, then order finished goods through the dealer portal or the B2B store at their prices. Project orders go through sales and quoting with margin guard. Every sale relieves the finished-goods lot and posts cost of sales to the ledger.
