Autodesk Construction Cloud (now Forma)
Tier A · ListedAutodesk's construction cloud, now Autodesk Forma: documents, model coordination, takeoff and project management
Autodesk Construction Cloud became part of Autodesk Forma on 24 March 2026, and its products were renamed (Autodesk Build is now Forma Build; Autodesk Docs is now Forma Data Management). Forma is sold in three bundles: Model Management (model coordination, design collaboration, Navisworks Manage), Preconstruction (takeoff, estimating, BuildingConnected bid management) and Construction Operations (Forma Build project management and submittals), each with Forma Data Management for documents.
Pros
- + Model coordination and design collaboration in the Model Management bundle
- + Takeoff, estimating and bid management in the Preconstruction bundle
- + Shared document management across all bundles
- + User, project or account-based pricing options, Autodesk says
Cons
- − No price shown on the pages that could be read; quote-based
- − Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
- − No accounting or Egyptian e-invoicing; needs a separate ERP
Egypt note
Forma is a project and document platform with no Egyptian tax or e-invoicing role, so an Egyptian contractor still needs a local ERP for ETA compliance. Autodesk's regional and reseller pages could not be read in this check, so buy through an Autodesk-authorised reseller and confirm local support and pricing.
Daftra
Tier S · Published pricesCloud accounting and business management for Arab-market firms, with Egyptian e-invoicing
Daftra is a cloud accounting and business-management system operated by Izam, Inc.; its about page says the company has headquarters in the United States and in Egypt. Daftra says 45K+ businesses use it and that it covers 50+ industries, with accounting, invoicing, inventory, CRM and HR modules. It runs Egyptian phone lines for 24/7 technical support and for sales.
Pros
- + Vendor says it is fully integrated with the ETA e-invoice system at no extra fee
- + Accounting, invoicing, inventory, CRM and HR in one subscription
- + Published prices and a 14-day trial with no card required
- + Egyptian phone and WhatsApp lines for support and sales
Cons
- − Priced in USD, so the EGP cost moves with the exchange rate
- − Lower plans cap monthly invoices, clients and warehouses
- − Extra users cost $7-9.33 a month each
- − ETA signing needs an e-signature certificate bought separately from Egypt Trust
Egypt note
Daftra says it is fully integrated with the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoice system: it adds the ETA-required e-signature and digital stamp (the signature certificate comes from Egypt Trust), extracts GS1 item codes, calculates Egyptian VAT and can issue e-receipts. It says it charges no extra fee for the Tax Authority connection.
