Edara ERP
Tier S · Published pricesCloud ERP for Egyptian and Saudi trading and distribution SMEs, from Cairo-based Edrak Software
Edara is a cloud ERP from Edrak Software (EDRAK), which says it launched Edara in 2006 and lists an office in Nasr City, Cairo. It covers accounts, inventory, sales, purchases, manufacturing and point of sale, and the vendor aims it at small and medium trading and distribution companies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Pros
- + Published USD prices with monthly or annual billing
- + Accounts, inventory, sales, purchases and POS in one system
- + Vendor says it guides customers through Egyptian Tax Authority integration
- + Top plan connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, Salla and Jumia
Cons
- − Egyptian e-invoicing is listed only in the top (Ultimate) plan
- − Priced in USD, so the EGP cost moves with the exchange rate
- − Every plan adds a monthly base fee on top of the per-user fee
- − Vendor aims it at trading and distribution firms rather than contractors
Egypt note
Edara says it shortens the steps to integrate with the Egyptian Tax Authority and follows up with the customer until the e-invoicing system is running; its pricing page lists Egyptian e-invoicing in the Ultimate plan. The vendor lists an office in Nasr City, Cairo, and Egyptian phone numbers.
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.
