Custom Software Development and AI Automation Services in Qatar
We build custom web applications, ERP and CRM systems, AI agents, and WhatsApp chatbots for businesses across Doha, Lusail and West Bay. Everything is built in-house, works in Arabic and English, and runs on your infrastructure or ours.
What does Lumenai actually do?
We replace manual work with software. That covers three areas: custom systems built from scratch (web apps, ERP, CRM), AI agents that handle repetitive tasks like screening CVs or qualifying leads, and automation that connects the tools your team already uses.
Most companies in Qatar reach out to us for one of two reasons. Either an off-the-shelf tool almost fits but forces the team into workflows that do not match how the business runs, or something that should take minutes takes a full afternoon because someone is copying data between systems by hand.
Qatar's AI market grew by 31% in 2025, and roughly 94% of internet users here are on WhatsApp daily. That combination is why so much of our work ends up touching WhatsApp automation and Arabic-English conversational systems. It is simply where Qatari customers already are.

Custom Build vs Off-the-Shelf Software
When a ready-made tool is the right call, we will tell you. Here is how the two compare.
| Consideration | Off-the-Shelf Tool | Custom Build |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | Low, subscription starts immediately | Higher one-time investment, no recurring seat fees |
| Cost at Scale | Grows with every user you add | Flat, add 50 users without a bigger invoice |
| Process Fit | Your team adapts to the software | Software adapts to your team |
| Local Compliance | Generic, may not handle WPS or Dhareeba output | Built for QAR, WPS payroll and GTA reporting |
| Data Ownership | Hosted wherever the vendor chooses | Self-hosted if you want, full PDPPL control |
| Best For | Standard processes, small teams, fast start | Unusual workflows, growing headcount, long horizon |

Frequently Asked Questions
What Qatari business owners ask us before starting a project.
Most single-system projects start from around QAR 15,000. A WhatsApp chatbot or an automation workflow usually lands in that range. Full CRM or ERP builds typically run QAR 45,000 and up depending on how many modules you need. We give a fixed price in writing after the scoping call, so you are never quoted hourly and left guessing.
Two to four weeks for most automation and chatbot projects. Custom web applications generally take 6 to 12 weeks, and full ERP or CRM builds 3 to 5 months. The biggest variable is usually how clean your existing data is, not the development itself.
Yes, from day one rather than as a later translation pass. That includes right-to-left interface layouts, Arabic content in chatbots, and Gulf dialect handling in conversational agents. A system that only works in English is not really built for Qatar.
Yes. We build QAR-based financial reporting, generate Wage Protection System payroll files, calculate end-of-service gratuity, and format output for the General Tax Authority's Dhareeba portal. With Qatar's e-invoicing law approved at Cabinet level in May 2026, we also architect systems so e-invoicing can be added once the executive regulations are published.
Wherever you want it. We can deploy to your own servers using Docker and Coolify, which gives you complete data sovereignty, or to a cloud region you nominate. Either way we build around Qatar's Personal Data Privacy Protection Law with encrypted storage and clear consent flows.
No. We handle the build, hosting and integration. All we need is one person who understands your business process well enough to answer questions during setup, plus access to whatever tools we are connecting to.
Yes, and it is usually the first channel we set up for Qatari clients. We connect through Meta's official WhatsApp Business API, not an unofficial workaround, alongside your website widget and Instagram DMs. Everything feeds into one shared inbox with human handoff at the right moment.
Doha is our base, but we work across Qatar including Lusail, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and the industrial zones, plus the wider GCC. Most work happens remotely, though for Qatar-based clients we meet in person during scoping and at key milestones.
You get 30 days of support included, then a monthly retainer if you want ongoing improvements. AI systems especially need tuning once real customers start using them, so we review logs and conversion data monthly. If you would rather run it in-house, we hand over documentation and train your team.
