Outside IndiaThe Gulf and the UK

If your business runs on WhatsApp in Dubai, Sharjah, Riyadh, Doha or London, we are in your working day.

VV Automate is in Kolkata. For the Gulf that means we are one and a half to two and a half hours ahead of you; for the UK, four and a half to five and a half. A question at 10 am in Dubai reaches us at 11.30 am, in the middle of our day.

A WhatsApp reminder from Al Noor Building Materials, Sharjah, to a customer: invoice 2210 for AED 18,400 was due on 5 October, with a payment link; the customer replies that it will be paid on Thursday.

Who this is for

Owner-run trading, distribution and services businesses, many of them run by people who grew up with the same WhatsApp-first way of working we build for. Also B2B suppliers and service firms in the UK where late payment is the daily problem.

VV Automate is a Vishwa Vigyan initiative: a small team in Kolkata, India. Write to automate@vishwavigyan.com or message us on WhatsApp; the person who answers stays with you from the first call to the monthly support. The founder’s note is on the home page.

How we work with you from Kolkata

  • On WhatsApp and video

    Messages, documents and screenshots on WhatsApp. The first call on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or a normal phone line, since WhatsApp calls are blocked on UAE networks. Nothing needs a visit.

  • Your tools, your currency

    QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books and Tally are all common in Gulf businesses; we connect to whichever you use. Invoices, reminders and quotations go out in AED, SAR, QAR or GBP, with VAT and your TRN where they apply. We work in English, Hindi and Bengali; Arabic replies are not offered yet.

  • One person who answers

    The same person from the first call to the monthly support, who knows your setup and your hours.

  • Hours

    Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm Kolkata time. That is 8.30 am to 5.30 pm in Dubai and Sharjah, 7.30 am to 4.30 pm in Riyadh and Doha, and 4.30 am to 1.30 pm in London (an hour later in British summer). Sunday is a working day in Saudi Arabia and Qatar; say if you need it covered. Response times are written into your quote.

  • Payment

    Bank transfer or Wise, in USD or AED, against an invoice: half when we start, half when it works on your data. Monthly support is paid monthly and stops when you say so, with 30 days’ notice.

  • If we go quiet

    Hosting, logins and data are in your name from day one, so you can export everything and hand it to anyone. Support hours and response times are in the written quote, not in a promise.

Pricing

Custom Systems from $1,500 (about AED 5,500; the dirham is pegged to the dollar), implementation plus monthly support. Everything else is a fixed quote in USD or AED after the free call. The AI Audit is $400, credited against your first build.
