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.
