Horizon FMS (FIT)

Tier A · Listed

Dubai-built CAFM: assets, planned maintenance and work orders

Horizon FMS is a web-based computer-aided facility management (CAFM) system with mobile access from Frontline Information Technology LLC (FIT), a Dubai software company that says it has operated since 1992 and has an office in Al Karama. It covers assets, preventive maintenance, work orders and contracts for hard services such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing and soft services such as cleaning and security. FIT also sells the Horizon EBS ERP, Horizon HRMS and Horizon eProcure.

Pros

+ Dubai vendor with an office in Al Karama
+ Assets, preventive maintenance, work orders and contracts in one system
+ Covers hard and soft FM services, with mobile access
+ Same vendor sells Horizon EBS ERP, HRMS and eProcure

Cons

− No public prices: quote only
− FM-focused, not construction project management
− VAT features are documented for Horizon EBS, not Horizon FMS

United Arab Emirates note

A locally built option for UAE facilities-management and MEP-maintenance firms that want CAFM from a Dubai vendor. FIT's VAT claims (FTA-format tax invoices in English and Arabic, VAT 201 returns) are made for its Horizon EBS ERP, and FIT is not on the Ministry of Finance list of accredited e-invoicing service providers (checked 30 September 2026).

Typical United Arab Emirates pricing: Quote-based; no public prices.

Monthly or annual billing, with annual saving more than 10%; PlanRadar bills annually in advance unless the contract says otherwise and adds a 4% innovation fee from the second billing period. 30-day free trial.
