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.
OrchidaTax
Tier A · ListedE-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.
