Sharjah in context
A heavy industrial and trading base (Hamriyah and the industrial area in particular). Manufacturing and trade here are among the sectors that most need automatic purchase-order matching.
Notable free zones
- SAIF Zone
- Hamriyah Free Zone
- Shams (Sharjah Media City)
Free-zone businesses are not automatically exempt: any business issuing B2B or B2G invoices is in scope whether or not it sits in a free zone.
