Sound familiar?

The work isn'tthe problem.

~8

sign-offs for one shelf price change.

Two weeks of chasing. The shopper noticed in two minutes.

~7

spreadsheets to plan twenty-six promotions.

Seven versions, one meeting. And a lot of hope.

~1

person's Excel file holds a whole private label range.

It works perfectly. Please don't let them go on holiday.

~11h

from a 10am store visit to the typed-up report.

Written at 9pm, from memory. The photos are still on someone's phone.

The work was never the problem. Finding it, chasing it and proving it was. Your ERP is the ledger. We build the work around it.

Why g8tes

Built by people who've satin the buyer's chair.

Commercial judgement first

Designed around how UAE retail buying, private label and promotions teams actually work.

No new platform to install

It runs on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for.

One fix at a time

A written scope, then an offer, one workflow per sprint.

Every step on record

Who asked, who approved, what changed and when, ready for your next audit.

We tell you what it won't do

Every tool comes with its limits in writing.

How it works

Measured. Cut. Fitted.

Tell us

Show us one workflow that wastes your team's week. Thirty minutes. No forms, no obligation, no slide 47 of 112.

See it

We map your process first, in a process register and a RACI matrix: every step, every owner. Then you see the tool working on it with sample data, before your pilot, and get a written scope and an offer.

Tailor it

Built inside your Microsoft 365 around how your team works. Weekly rounds, each ending with something you can click.

Own it

Training, documentation and handover. Your data and configuration are always yours. g8tes keeps the product IP; flexible licensing runs through the Microsoft Marketplace.

Handover

We tag it to tweak it with you.We don't brand it.It becomes yours at handover.

We don't sell you a dummy tool. We tailor it to your team, then hand it over documented, trained and ready to change with you. While we're tuning it together, it carries our red tag. At handover, the tag comes off. Your data and configuration are always yours. The product IP stays with g8tes, and Agile settings adjust it to your team. Like a good pair of jeans, it gets more comfortable the more you wear it.

Our IT Policy, in short

Your tenant.Your rules.

How a g8tes tool sits in your environment and how it gets there, in plain terms. The full permission list and architecture come to your IT team before anything is installed.

Your people

Teams, Outlook, Edge and a managed app

On a laptop they open the tool where they already work. On a phone it runs in an iOS or Android app your IT team deploys and controls through your mobile device management (MDM).

What we don't claim

We don't sell AI or AI agents. Our tools use built-in checks and automation inside your Microsoft 365; people make every decision. We don't guarantee growth, savings or compliance, and we don't claim certifications we don't hold. The Microsoft licence tier a tool needs is named before you commit.
