Daftra
All-in-one cloud ERP, accounting & e-invoicing built for the Arab market
Market position
An Egyptian-origin SaaS (by Izam Web Solutions) and one of the most widely recommended accounting and e-invoice platforms for Egypt — accounting, invoicing, inventory, CRM and HR across 50+ industries with a strong native-Arabic UX and a dedicated Egyptian e-invoice product.
Egypt-specific note
Explicitly "fully integrated with the ETA e-invoice system" — supports the official e-signature/digital stamp and GS1 codes and auto-calculates 14% VAT. Note the USD pricing carries FX exposure for an EGP-earning business.

Why this matters for Egypt trades
The ETA runs tax (14% VAT, 22.5% corporate tax) and the mandatory e-invoicing/e-receipt clearance system (JSON/XML, UUID, digital signature — only cleared invoices are deductible, and non-compliance bars government work); EFCBC ("Tasheed") membership and classification (Law 104/1992) is required to take work above EGP 50,000 or bid public tenders; engineers must register with the Egyptian Engineers Syndicate; companies incorporate via GAFI (Commercial Register + Tax Card); employers must enrol every worker in social insurance (NOSI, Law 148/2019); and building in the new cities is permitted through NUCA.
Egyptian construction & trades software selection is shaped above all by the ETA (Egyptian Tax Authority) e-invoicing mandate — live and enforced (full B2B mandate from April 2023; paper invoices invalid for deduction since ~July 2023), a real-time clearance model where only cleared e-invoices allow VAT/cost deduction, and now reaching small businesses (the VAT-registration threshold was halved to EGP 250,000, with small firms required to register by 31 March 2026). Add a volatile, un-pegged Egyptian pound (which favours local EGP-priced vendors over USD-billed foreign SaaS), 14% VAT, mandatory EFCBC contractor classification, Engineers-Syndicate registration, and a megaproject pipeline led by the New Administrative Capital. B2B runs in Arabic and English.
