Autodesk Construction Cloud (now Forma)

Tier A · Listed

Autodesk'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.

Typical Egypt pricing: Quote-based; Autodesk's Forma pricing page shows no prices and says pricing can be per user, per project or per account. No list price could be read in this check.

OrchidaTax

Tier A · Listed

E-invoicing integration layer linking ERP, accounting and POS systems to Egypt's ETA

OrchidaTax sells an e-invoicing integration layer that connects existing ERP, accounting and POS systems to tax-authority portals, including Egypt's ETA, Saudi Arabia's ZATCA and the UAE FTA. It lists connectors for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Xero, QuickBooks and Sage 50, and offices in Cairo, Dubai and Riyadh. It is a compliance bridge, not an accounting system; OrchidaTax says its parent, OrchidaSoft, was founded in 1997.

Pros

+ Connects existing ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Odoo) to the ETA
+ Covers ETA e-invoices and e-receipts
+ Cairo office listed
+ Also covers ZATCA and UAE FTA for regional groups

Cons

− Integration layer only; needs an ERP, accounting or POS system
− No public prices
− Little company background on its site
− Sales-led: pricing only through a quote

Egypt note

OrchidaTax says it supports ETA Model 41 e-invoicing and e-receipts with digital signature, instant submission and submission monitoring, and lists a Cairo office in New Nozha. It suits a business that already runs SAP, Oracle, Dynamics or Odoo and needs ETA submission without replacing that system.

Typical Egypt pricing: Quote-based; no public prices on orchidatax.com.
