Hanooot

Hanooot (Arabic: حانوت) is an Iraqi business services company founded in Baghdad in 2022. It positions itself as a single operating partner that manages the parts of a business that accumulate value — legal affairs, shipping, software, and finance — under one roof and with one accountable team in Iraq. The company was founded by operators who had spent their careers in container shipping, software development, bookkeeping, and navigating Iraqi government bureaucracy, but always on behalf of other companies. They launched Hanooot to bring all of that together for businesses they know best: Iraqi businesses. Hanooot organizes its work around four disciplines: legal and corporate services (company formation, commercial agency, tax compliance, escrow, and legal consulting); import and shipping (sourcing, freight, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery); development, ERP, and automation (custom ERP, CRM, mobile apps, APIs, and AI systems built from scratch for Iraqi companies); and accounting and financial services (bookkeeping, payroll, audit-ready reporting, and financial planning). The company argues that the value lies at the intersections — a stalled shipment is a financial problem, an ERP that does not match the books is an accounting problem, and a contract dispute is a legal problem — and that it closes these gaps by operating as one team. According to its website, Hanooot works with more than 1,500 active clients, has completed over 1,000 shipments, and has handled more than 3 billion Iraqi dinars in deal value. Its about page states that after three years it serves as a long-term partner to more than 100 businesses, from family shops in Karrada to international brands entering the Iraqi market for the first time. The company reports a team of more than 50 people across law, commercial agency, logistics, engineering, and finance, with headquarters in Baghdad and Erbil and operations across all 18 governorates. It describes its principles as local-first, global standards, one accountable partner, results first, always transparent, and built to compound. Beyond services, Hanooot owns and operates two software products for the Iraqi market. Ra8m (ra8m.com), launched in 2025, is a retail operating system combining point of sale, inventory, e-commerce, accounting, and finance — Arabic-first and priced in Iraqi dinars, free to start. Harrir (harrir.com), also launched in 2025, is a fashion marketplace bringing international and local brands to shoppers in Iraq, Arabic-first, in Iraqi dinars, with fast delivery and an AI-powered stylist. Hanooot presents these products as proof of its software-building capability: it runs the software it builds.

Hanooot was founded in Baghdad in 2022 by operators who had spent their careers in container shipping, software development, bookkeeping, and navigating Iraqi government bureaucracy — but always on behalf of other companies. They launched Hanooot to bring all of that under one roof for the businesses they know best: Iraqi businesses. The company's name, حانوت, means "shop" or "store" in Arabic, reflecting its focus on commerce and business operations. From its base in Baghdad, Hanooot built a service model organized around four disciplines: legal and corporate services, import and shipping, development and ERP/automation, and accounting and financial services. The company's stated thesis is that the cumulative impact of shared operations across law, logistics, software, and finance is the core of the Hanooot idea — that the value lies at the intersections between these disciplines rather than in any one of them alone. By its own account, after three years Hanooot works as a long-term partner to more than 100 businesses, from family shops in Karrada to international brands entering the Iraqi market for the first time. The company reports more than 1,500 active clients, over 1,000 completed shipments, and more than 3 billion Iraqi dinars in deal value. It operates from headquarters in Baghdad and Erbil and says it works across all 18 governorates, with a team of more than 50 people in law, commercial agency, logistics, engineering, and finance. The company describes its client relationships as moving from listening to operating in under 90 days on average, with clients staying an average of 26 months. In 2025 Hanooot began launching its own software products, moving beyond services into product operations. Ra8m (ra8m.com) is a retail operating system that combines point of sale, inventory, e-commerce, accounting, and finance in one Arabic-first, Iraqi-dinar-priced system, free to start. Harrir (harrir.com) is a fashion marketplace bringing international and local brands to shoppers in Iraq, Arabic-first, in Iraqi dinars, with fast delivery and an AI-powered stylist. Hanooot presents these products as its most honest qualification for building software: it runs the software it builds. The company reports that Ra8m serves 6 active stores with more than 12,000 daily transactions and 99.97% uptime over 90 days, while Harrir has 42 active brands, more than 18,000 shipped orders, and serves 7 cities.
