Two Bahrain software options, compared side by side for Bahrain trades.

Which should you choose?

Focus Softnet and Oracle Aconex are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Bahrain-specific notes below against your trade and region.

Focus Softnet

Tier A · Listed

Gulf ERP vendor with a Manama office and a real estate and construction edition

Focus Softnet sells ERP software, led by its Focus X cloud ERP, plus a real estate and construction edition with project management, cost control and property management. It has a Bahrain company, Focus Softnet Bahrain Computer Consultants WLL, with an office in Manama, and offices in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. Focus Softnet says it has been in business for 30+ years across 17+ countries.

Pros

+ Registered Bahrain company with a Manama office
+ Project cost control and property management in one ERP
+ Offices across the other GCC countries
+ Wide product range (ERP, CRM, HCM, warehouse)

Cons

− No public prices; demo and quote only
− Construction page lists no BOQ or progress-billing features
− Broad ERP: expect an implementation project
− Bahrain pages make no specific Bahrain VAT claims

Bahrain note

Focus Softnet has a Bahrain company and a Manama office (Building 1311, Road 525), so there is a local office to ask about implementation and support. Ask for a demo of the construction features you need, as the website lists only project management and cost control.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Quote-based; Focus Softnet publishes no prices and offers a demo request instead.

Oracle Aconex

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's cloud document control and project collaboration platform

Oracle Aconex is a cloud platform for sharing and controlling project documents, project mail and approval workflows between the many companies on a construction project. Oracle's help centre also lists Field, Cost, Models, Packages, Tenders/Bids and Supplier Documents modules and a mobile app. Oracle agreed to buy Aconex in December 2017.

Pros

+ Documents, project mail and approval workflows in one system
+ Built for many companies working on one project
+ Extra modules for field, cost, models and tenders
+ Mobile app for site teams

Cons

− No public price found this run; quote from Oracle
− Document control, not accounting or ERP
− Heavy for small jobs with few parties
− Help centre not offered in Arabic

Bahrain note

Aconex controls project documents and correspondence; it does not issue invoices or handle VAT, so pair it with an accounting tool.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Quote-based through Oracle; no price could be confirmed on Oracle's pages this run.
