Zemam - Arabic-first ERP: accounting, inventory, POS & e-invoicing

by•
Zemam (زمام), or Zemam ERP, is an Arabic-first cloud ERP by Smartly Coded — for small & mid-sized businesses in Egypt and MENA. It unifies accounting (IFRS + Egyptian VAT), inventory with batch/expiry tracking, offline-capable POS, cheques, installments, multi-currency, HR & payroll, and direct Egyptian e-invoicing (ETA) in one fully Arabic (RTL) system. Every balance is derived from a real double-entry ledger, so the books always tie out. Free trial, no credit card.

Hi Product Hunt I'm Karim, founder of Zemam. We built it because small and medium businesses across Egypt and the Arab world are stuck choosing between heavy, expensive global ERPs that don't fit — or basic local tools that don't scale. Zemam is Arabic-first (real RTL, not a mirrored English app). It handles Egyptian e-invoicing (ETA) and VAT natively, and brings accounting, inventory, offline POS, cheques, installments, HR/payroll, and more into one system — at a price SMBs can actually afford. One thing I'm proud of technically: every financial number is derived from a real double-entry ledger — nothing is a stored, editable balance — so the books can't silently drift. I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone who's wrestled with ERP or accounting software in emerging markets. Ask me anything!

The IFRS ledger tied to every other module is such a smart move for the region, most ERPs I have tried in Egypt force you to reconcile outside the system. Genuinely impressed that offline POS, cheque tracking, and ETA invoicing all live in one Arabic RTL build without feeling like a bolted-on patchwork.

 This means a lot, Dilek — thank you. "Not a bolted-on patchwork" is honestly the highest compliment we could get. Everything is transaction-driven off one general ledger, so POS, cheque tracking, and ETA invoicing all post to the same books — instead of forcing you to reconcile outside the system, which is exactly the pain you described. Appreciate you giving it a real try. 🙏

One thing that would be a game changer for shops here in Egypt is a native delivery and shipping integration, especially with the local courier APIs like Bosta and Mylerz. Tracking cash-on-delivery orders directly inside the POS and tying them back to inventory would save so much manual reconciliation at the end of the day. Worth exploring if you haven't already.

 Great suggestion, Esra — and you're pointing at something real. Today we already do own-fleet delivery with a driver app + live tracking, and COD is reconciled per driver at settlement, so your own-driver end-of-day is handled. What we don't have yet is prebuilt connectors to third-party couriers like Bosta or Mylerz — that's honestly on our radar, and in the meantime it's buildable via our public API + webhooks. Really appreciate you flagging the COD-in-POS angle; that kind of local reconciliation pain is exactly what we want to kill. I'll log this. 🙏

finally an ERP that actually thinks in Arabic from the start, the double-entry ledger tying everything out cleanly was a relief to see

 Thank you, Merve 🙏 That was exactly the goal — Arabic-first from day one, not translated on afterward. And the double-entry ledger is the whole foundation: every balance is derived from real entries, never stored or edited by hand — so the numbers you see are literally the numbers in the books. Really glad that landed.

finally an erp that actually gets arabic right, the rtl feels native and the egyptian vat setup saved me hours. the double-entry ledger giving me real confidence in the books is huge.

 Thank you, Tuana 🙏 "Saved me hours on VAT" is music to our ears — Egyptian VAT (calculated after discount) is built into the engine, not a workaround. Native RTL and a real double-entry ledger were non-negotiables for us from the start, so it's great to hear it's giving you confidence in the books.
