Software that reads Dubai paperwork in Arabic and English, then files it correctly.

Codeeo offers AI document processing software development Dubai companies use to read Emirates IDs, trade licences, Ejari tenancy contracts, supplier invoices and shipping papers, pull out the fields that matter and push them into the systems your staff already work in. Arabic and English text, stamps, signatures and poor scans are handled with a confidence score on every field, so a person checks only what the model is unsure about instead of retyping whole pages.

The point is not to remove your reviewers. It is to stop skilled people in Business Bay or Jebel Ali copying numbers from PDFs into spreadsheets, and to give your auditors a clear record of who approved each extracted value. Everything runs under your own accounts.

Built for

What the software can do

Built around the forms that actually cross desks in Dubai.

Most document projects in Dubai start with a pile that nobody enjoys: tenancy renewals, onboarding packs, supplier bills before a VAT return, or customs papers for a container sitting at Jebel Ali. Each has its own layout, its own Arabic and English mix and its own rules about what counts as valid. We build the extraction, checking and routing around those specific forms rather than selling a generic reader. Capabilities below are chosen per client; few businesses need all of them in the first release, and the order depends on where your team loses the most hours today.

Explain your project
  • Emirates ID and passport capture

    Front and back of the Emirates ID, passport data pages and residence details read from phone photos or scanner uploads. The software checks expiry dates, matches names written in Arabic and Latin script, and flags images too blurred or cropped to trust before a customer leaves your counter. Customers can also be sent a secure upload link instead of visiting.

    Onboarding files are complete on the first visit, not the third.

  • Trade licence reading

    Licence number, legal form, activities, issuing authority and expiry pulled from mainland licences issued through the Department of Economy and Tourism and from free zone licences, whose layouts differ. Renewal dates feed a reminder list so expired supplier or client licences are caught early.

    Supplier and client checks stop depending on someone remembering a date.

  • Ejari and tenancy contract extraction

    Parties, unit details, rent, payment schedule and contract dates taken from registered tenancy contracts and their Arabic text. For property managers in Dubai Marina or Al Barsha, extracted terms land straight in the lease register and cheque schedule.

    Lease registers match the signed contracts without manual rekeying.

  • Invoice capture for VAT and corporate tax

    Supplier TRN, invoice date, line items, VAT amounts and totals read from tax invoices in either language, then reconciled against purchase orders. Mismatched TRNs or missing tax lines go to a reviewer, which keeps your FTA filings and corporate tax workpapers cleaner.

    Fewer surprises when the quarterly VAT return is prepared.

  • E-invoicing readiness

    The UAE is moving to structured e-invoices exchanged through Accredited Service Providers, with a pilot from July 2026 and mandatory phases following in 2027. We design your capture layer so paper and PDF invoices still received from smaller suppliers become structured data your ASP connection and ERP can accept.

    Old and new invoice formats feed one accounts payable process.

  • Shipping and customs documents

    Bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists and certificates of origin read for consignee, HS codes, weights and values. Freight forwarders around Jebel Ali and Dubai South get discrepancies between documents flagged before a declaration is lodged. Each shipment record links back to the original images for any later query.

    Errors are caught at the desk, not at the port.

  • Confidence scores and review queue

    Every field carries a confidence score. Values above your threshold pass straight through; anything lower opens in a side by side view with the source image highlighted, so the reviewer corrects one number and moves on. Corrections are logged and reused to improve the templates. Thresholds can differ per field, so a bank account number is held to a stricter bar than a delivery note reference.

    People spend time on doubtful fields only.

  • Mobile capture app

    An iOS and Android app for agents, couriers and field staff to photograph documents with edge detection, glare warnings and offline queuing for basements and site cabins with weak signal. Uploads sync when the connection returns. Staff in Deira, Al Quoz or Dubai Investments Park can capture on the spot.

    Paper collected on the road is processed the same day.

  • Search across processed files

    Extracted fields and full text indexed so a manager can find every contract for one tower, every invoice from one supplier or every ID expiring next month, in Arabic or English, with access limited by role.

    Answers come from a search box, not a filing room.

  • Approval trail and retention

    Each document keeps a history: when it arrived, what the model read, which values a reviewer changed, who approved the record and when it was exported. Retention periods follow your policy and the regime you sit under, and deletion requests under data protection law can be traced to every stored copy.

    Auditors and regulators get evidence, not explanations.

Who this is for

Four Dubai teams that tend to ask us for document AI.

The common thread is volume plus consequence: many documents arrive, and a wrong value causes a rejected filing, a delayed shipment or a compliance gap. If your team processes a few dozen forms a week, a simple form tool may be enough, and we will say so. The situations below are where custom software earns its place in Dubai. In each case the AI does the reading and sorting, while the decisions that carry legal or financial weight stay with your staff.

01

Property and facilities managers

Portfolios spread across Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Marina and Downtown generate renewals, Ejari registrations, cheque schedules, maintenance quotes and owner statements every week. We link extracted tenancy terms to your property management system so renewals, notices and collections are driven by the signed contract, not a spreadsheet someone last updated in spring.

Works alongside existing property management software.

02

Logistics and freight forwarding

Forwarders and 3PLs in Jebel Ali Free Zone and Dubai South juggle carrier, supplier and customs paperwork for every consignment. Our software reads the full shipment pack, compares quantities and values across documents and prepares clean data for declarations and client billing, while your brokers keep control of what is submitted.

03

Finance and shared service teams

Accounts payable teams receiving hundreds of supplier bills each month need TRN checks, three way matching and audit trails for VAT and corporate tax. We connect capture to Business Central, Odoo, SAP or Oracle, and keep a reviewer step wherever your controls require one.

Audit history is retained per your policy.

04

Regulated firms in DIFC and onshore

Banks, insurers, brokers and corporate service providers onboard clients with IDs, licences, memoranda of association and proof of address. We build KYC capture that respects the DIFC Data Protection Law or the federal PDPL, depending on where you are licensed, with access controls your compliance officer can review.

How a document AI build runs, from sample pile to live queue.

  1. 01Document sampling workshopAn in-person session at your Dubai office or ours. We collect real samples of every document type, including the worst scans, and note who touches each one today and what they type where. Workshops can also run at your warehouse or branch if that is where documents arrive.
  2. 02Accuracy baselineWe run candidate OCR and language models against your samples, measure field level accuracy in Arabic and English, and show you the results before committing to an approach. Weak fields are named openly.
  3. 03Extraction and rules designField definitions, validation rules such as TRN format or licence expiry, confidence thresholds and routing logic are written down and agreed with the people who will review exceptions. Edge cases get an owner.
  4. 04Build and integrateCapture app, processing service, review screens and connectors to your ERP, CRM or property system are built in short releases you can test with live documents. Each release ends with a demo to the reviewers who will use it.
  5. 05Parallel runThe software processes documents alongside your current method for an agreed period, so accuracy is proven on real volume before staff stop keying manually. Differences between the two methods are reviewed weekly.
  6. 06Tuning and new document typesReviewer corrections feed template updates. New forms, such as e-invoice formats or a new free zone licence layout, are added as your business needs them. Monthly reports show where accuracy rose or fell.

Technology

What we build this with.

We choose OCR engines, language models and hosting after testing them on your documents. Where data must stay in the country, processing can run in UAE cloud regions or on servers you control, and nothing is sent to an outside AI service without your written agreement.

Questions Dubai teams ask before automating their paperwork.

Capture, extraction, checking, review and integration for your specific documents.

A typical scope includes a way to get documents in (scanner, email inbox, upload portal or mobile app), models that read Arabic and English fields, validation rules for things like TRNs and expiry dates, a review screen for low confidence values and connectors that write results into your ERP or line of business system. Reporting on volumes and accuracy is usually added so managers can see where exceptions come from. Where Arabic and English versions of the same field disagree, the system flags the conflict instead of picking one.
