Focus Softnet
Tier A · ListedGulf 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

- − 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.

Easy to trial on one Bahrain project: the 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and subcontractors join free. Support comes from outside Bahrain, as no Gulf office is listed.
