Monjez
A multi-vendor marketplace and SaaS platform connecting UAE residents who need government paperwork with the licensed typing and service centres that file it — and giving those centres the software to run the work.
Nobody knows what a government document should cost.
Getting a licence renewed or a power of attorney drawn up in the UAE means knowing which typing centre to trust, phoning around for a price that nobody publishes, and driving there twice. The centres themselves run the whole operation on WhatsApp threads and paper receipts.
Monjez puts the order online and gives the provider a real back office. Providers set their own all-in price and pay the government fee directly, so the platform never has to maintain a fee catalogue or pretend to know what a service costs in a given emirate this month.
Every surface, by us.
Money was the whole design problem.
A marketplace that moves other people's money has to be right the first time. Four decisions carried the architecture.
Money is an integer, always
Every monetary value is an integer of fils stored as bigint, and every money column is named with a _fils suffix so a float can never quietly appear in a calculation. Formatting into a human-readable dirham string happens once, at the presentation edge, and nowhere else.
A double-entry ledger, not a balance column
All money movement is recorded as append-only double-entry rows where every debit has a matching credit. Balances are never derived by summing order rows or reading a denormalised total — which means a bug in order handling cannot silently corrupt what somebody is owed.
The platform never holds the money
Card payments run as Stripe Connect direct charges on the provider's own connected account. The provider is merchant of record — their name on the receipt, their funds settling to them, their disputes. Monjez takes only a flat facilitation fee as the Connect application fee.
A flat fee, frozen at creation
The fee does not scale with order value: a 500-dirham order and a 50-dirham order carry the same charge. It is written onto the order when the order is created and never recalculated, so a provider changing plan next month cannot rewrite last month's books.
What it runs on.
We build these for ourselves. We build them for clients too.
