Modular open-source ERP with an Egyptian e-invoicing localization

Odoo is a modular ERP whose apps cover accounting, inventory, project, sales and HR, sold as Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise. Its Egyptian localization includes an ETA e-invoicing module, available since Odoo 15.0, and Odoo's partner directory lists 204 implementation partners in Egypt.

Pros

  • + Egyptian e-invoicing module with ETA API, GS1/EGS codes and token signing
  • + Accounting, inventory, project and HR apps in one system
  • + Published prices, plus a free plan for a single app
  • + 204 listed implementation partners in Egypt

Cons

  • โˆ’ ETA signing needs a USB token and Odoo's Windows IoT middleware
  • โˆ’ Construction workflows depend on apps and partner configuration
  • โˆ’ Total cost adds partner implementation to licences
  • โˆ’ List prices are in USD

Egypt note

Odoo's Egypt localization connects to the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoicing API: the company registers its ERP on the ETA portal, maps products to GS1 or EGS codes, and signs invoices with a USB token from the ETA or Egypt Trust through Odoo's Windows IoT middleware. Odoo says Egyptian e-invoicing is available from Odoo 15.0, and its directory lists 204 partners in Egypt.

Typical Egypt pricing: Standard US$8.95/user/month billed yearly or US$11.20 billed monthly (first 12 months discounted to $7.25 or $9.10 for initial users); Custom US$16.40 yearly or US$20.90 monthly (first year $13.40 or $16.90). One App Free: $0 for one app with unlimited users. Partner implementation is extra.

Wafeq is cloud accounting software from Wafeq FZ-LLC, a UAE company, with an Egypt storefront in Arabic and English and prices in EGP. It covers invoices, quotes, purchase orders, inventory, payroll and 40+ financial reports; Wafeq says more than 18,000 companies use it. Its documented e-invoicing is for Saudi Arabia's ZATCA; its Egypt pages make no claim about Egyptian Tax Authority e-invoicing.

Pros

  • + Published EGP prices for Egypt, monthly or yearly
  • + Arabic and English interface
  • + Invoicing, inventory, payroll and 40+ reports in one app

  • โˆ’ Support phone lines listed are in Dubai
  • โˆ’ Enterprise tier is quote-only and billed yearly

Egypt note

Wafeq has an Egypt site with Arabic and EGP pricing, but none of its Egypt pages, its sitemap or its developer e-invoicing guide mention the Egyptian Tax Authority; its documented e-invoicing is for Saudi ZATCA. An Egyptian business that must issue ETA e-invoices should confirm ETA support with Wafeq before buying.

Typical Egypt pricing: Starter EGP 966/month, or EGP 805/month paid yearly (EGP 9,660); Plus EGP 1,386/month, or EGP 1,155/month paid yearly (EGP 13,860); Premium EGP 2,490/month, or EGP 1,991/month paid yearly (EGP 23,900); Enterprise on request, yearly only. No VAT note shown. 14-day free trial.
