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.

TallyPrime

Tier A · Listed

Accounting and inventory software with a Middle East edition

TallyPrime from Tally Solutions is accounting, inventory and invoicing software, sold as Silver for a single user and Gold for multiple users on monthly, yearly or lifetime licences. Its Middle East site covers UAE and Saudi VAT and e-invoicing, but has no Bahrain VAT page. Tally says 2.7M+ businesses use its software.

Pros

+ Lifetime licence option as well as monthly and yearly plans
+ Accounting, inventory and invoicing in one package
+ Arabic-language Middle East site
+ Partner locator includes Bahrain

Cons

− No Bahrain VAT page on Tally's site
− Gulf prices not readable this run; ask a partner
− Accounting and inventory, not construction management
− Plans auto-renew until cancelled

Bahrain note

If your accountant already uses Tally, it can stay the books system, but Tally's own site does not describe Bahrain VAT support; ask a Tally partner to show a Bahrain VAT return before buying.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Tally publishes prices for TallyPrime Silver (single user) and Gold (multi-user) on 1-month, 3-month, 12-month and lifetime plans, with AED, USD and SAR options; the Gulf-currency amounts could not be read this run and no Bahrain (BHD) price is shown.
