MenaITech (MenaPAY)
Localized MENA HR & payroll, on the ground in Cairo
⚠ Reputation warning
Egypt-specific compliance depth is implied via the local office but not fully documented publicly (its public docs itemize SI/tax most explicitly for Saudi).
Market position
One of the oldest and largest MENA-grown HCM vendors (2M+ users, 19 countries); MenaPAY is its localized payroll engine, and it's one of the few regionals with a verified physical Cairo office.
Egypt-specific note
One of the few regional HR vendors with a real Cairo office (New Cairo) and Arabic product — strong local presence and support, though confirm the exact Egyptian social-insurance and payroll-tax configuration in a demo.
Pros
- + Verified Cairo office + local support (rare among regionals)
- + Deep MENA track record
- + Arabic product
- + Enterprise-grade complex payroll (retro pay, provident funds)
Cons
- − Egypt SI/tax detail less explicit than KSA in public docs
- − Enterprise orientation — heavier/pricier for small firms
- − Pricing not public
- − Enterprise-skewed UI
Typical Egypt pricing
Quote-based.
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.
