Services · Mobile app development · Jewellery apps
Codeeo offers jewellery app development in Dubai for gold retailers, diamond houses and family showrooms, from Deira to the large malls. We build shopping apps that price each piece from the live gold rate and your making charge, show hallmark and certificate details, take reservations and payments, and keep the compliance records a dealer in precious metals has to hold. Your customers see an honest price before they visit, and your counter staff stop quoting the same rate over the phone all morning.
Dubai buyers compare. A tourist on a stopover and a resident planning a wedding set both check several shops before they commit. An app that shows weight, purity and today's price clearly wins that comparison more often than a catalogue of pretty photos.

Inside the app
Jewellery is not priced like other retail. A 22 carat bangle changes price several times a day because the gold component moves with the market, while the making charge, stone value and any wastage allowance stay fixed to the piece. Most off the shelf shop builders cannot handle that, so retailers end up hiding prices behind a call button.
We model each item the way your counter does: metal type, fineness, net and gross weight, stone details and the charge you add on top. The app then recalculates prices whenever your rate source updates, and every order records the rate it was sold at. That one decision shapes the product catalogue, the checkout, the admin tools and your accounting exports, so we settle it in the first week of discovery rather than patching it later.
Prices for 24, 22, 21 and 18 carat items pull from the rate source you choose, whether a market feed or the rate your management sets each session. Customers see the gold value, making charge and VAT split out, and a price lock holds the quote for a short window during checkout.
Shoppers trust the number because they can see how it was built.
Filters for metal, carat, weight range, occasion and collection, with gross and net weight on every product. Bridal sets, daily wear chains, coins and bars sit in separate sections so a buyer looking for an investment bar is not scrolling through earrings.
Customers find the right piece in fewer taps.
Each item shows its fineness mark, such as 916 for 22 carat, and diamond pieces carry their grading certificate as an image or PDF. Staff attach documents in the admin panel when stock is received, so the record follows the piece from the safe to the sale.
Purity questions are answered before the customer asks.
A buyer reserves a necklace in the app and picks a branch and a time to see it. The showroom receives the request with the item code and customer details, and the hold expires automatically if nobody arrives, returning the piece to sale.
App browsing turns into showroom visits you can plan for.
For customers abroad or busy residents, a booked video session lets a sales associate show pieces under proper light, hold them against a neck form and answer questions. The associate can push a payment link or reservation straight into the call.
Remote buyers get the counter experience without the trip.
Customers enter the approximate weight and carat of old jewellery and see an indicative exchange value at today's rate. The final figure is set at the counter after testing, and the app records the agreed weight, purity and value against the new purchase.
Exchange offers bring repeat buyers back to your branch.
Many Dubai jewellers run instalment or monthly savings schemes. The app shows each member their contributions, the gold weight accrued, the maturity date and redemption options, with reminders before each payment is due.
Scheme members manage their plan without visiting the counter.
Customer identity capture, Emirates ID or passport scans, transaction history and flags for cash payments that need reporting through goAML. Your compliance officer gets an export view; the app collects and organises the data, while filing decisions stay with your team.
Your AML file is complete when the inspector asks for it.
Card payments, Apple Pay and bank transfer, with Tabby or Tamara only where your provider permits gold purchases. Invoices separate gold value, making charge and VAT, and investment grade bars are treated differently from jewellery according to the VAT rules your accountant confirms.
Every invoice is correct for the item type sold.
Head office sets rates, making charges and promotions; branch managers see their reservations, collections and exchange requests; sales associates get a simple tablet view for lookups at the counter. Every price change and manual override is logged with the person who made it and the time it happened.
Managers see who changed what, and staff work from the same numbers.
Who it suits
The Gold Souk in Deira, the mall boutiques, the Karama and Meena Bazaar shops and the online brands all sell gold, but they sell it to different people in different ways. A tourist buying a chain before a flight home needs a fast, trustworthy price. A family planning a bridal order needs time, appointments and someone to talk to. We shape the app around which of those buyers pays your rent.
Your shop depends on passing visitors, many of them tourists comparing several counters in one street. The app works as a pocket shop window: live prices, a map pin, a short list of signature pieces and a reserve button. We keep it light and quick to load on hotel wifi, with English and Arabic plus any other language your regular customers prefer, so a visitor can bookmark you and come back after dinner. A short QR code at your counter lets visitors install it while they wait for sizing.
Speed and price clarity matter more than feature count here.
Branches across Dubai and the other emirates need one stock view, shared pricing rules and branch level permissions. We connect the app to your ERP or point of sale, sync stock by item code and let head office set the rate and making charges centrally while branches handle reservations and collections.
Stock accuracy across branches is the first thing we test.
Your buyers care about certificates, provenance and service more than the day's gold rate. The app leans on appointment booking, private viewing requests, certificate libraries and after sales care such as resizing and cleaning. Content is written slowly and photographed well, and the checkout supports deposits on made to order pieces, with progress updates as the design moves from sketch to casting to setting.
You sell mainly through Instagram and a website and want an app for repeat customers. We build wish lists, back in stock alerts, size guides and gift messaging, connect delivery partners for insured shipping within Dubai, and add loyalty rewards that do not undermine your margin on gold. Push notifications for new drops replace some of the paid reach you currently buy on social platforms.
Ways to work with us
Most retailers begin with a fixed scope first release covering pricing, catalogue and reservations, then add savings plans or video selling once the basics are earning. Groups with several branches and an ERP project often prefer a dedicated team that stays with them through rollout. Our 80+ people work from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and the Dubai team handles your workshops and showroom testing. Whichever model you pick, you get a named lead, a written scope and a shared board where you can see what is being built each week.
A retainer after launch covers app store updates, rate feed changes, new collections and the small fixes every retail app needs once real customers start using it.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native or cross platform mobile apps with a web admin panel, built on a stack your own IT team or a future supplier can maintain. Rate feeds, payments and ERP connections use documented APIs, and hosting is agreed with you during discovery.

03Marketing and tracking
It depends mostly on integrations, not screens.
A catalogue with live pricing and reservations moves quickly once your stock data is clean. Connecting a point of sale or ERP, adding savings schemes or building video selling adds time, and so does tidying product records that were never entered with weights and purity. We agree the first release and its dates in writing after discovery, so you know what launches first and what follows. Launching ahead of a busy season is possible when the scope is kept tight.
