Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A ยท Listed

Autodesk's construction platform, now sold as Autodesk Forma

Autodesk moved Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) into its Autodesk Forma brand on 24 March 2026 and renamed the products, for example Forma Build, Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff and Forma Estimate. Autodesk sells them in three quote-based bundles, Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations, which also include Navisworks Manage, BuildingConnected Pro, ProEst and Pype tools.

Pros

  • + Model coordination, design collaboration and document management in one account
  • + Bundles run from takeoff, estimating and bidding to field operations and closeout
  • + User-, project- and account-based pricing options (per Autodesk)
  • + 30-day money-back guarantee stated on the pricing page

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices for the construction bundles: quote-based
  • โˆ’ No Oman partner confirmed in this check
  • โˆ’ Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
  • โˆ’ Not an accounting or VAT tool

Oman note

Most useful where a project team works from BIM models and shares drawings across companies. Ask Autodesk who resells and supports Forma in Oman before you buy, and keep Oman VAT invoicing in your accounting system.

Typical Oman pricing: Quote-based: Autodesk's construction pricing page lists three bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction, Construction Operations) with 'Get a quote' and no prices; Autodesk says it offers user-, project- and account-based pricing and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ClearTax (Fawtara e-invoicing)

Tier A ยท Listed

OTA-accredited Fawtara e-invoicing service provider (per ClearTax)

ClearTax, a product of Defmacro Software Pvt. Ltd., sells an e-invoicing platform for Oman's Fawtara system and says it is an OTA-accredited service provider and a Peppol-registered platform; FF News and TechAfrica reported the Oman Tax Authority accreditation in July 2026. It validates invoices against the PINT OM specification and connects to ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Xero and QuickBooks.

  • + OTA-accredited service provider for Fawtara (per ClearTax and July 2026 news)
  • + PINT OM validation and pre-transmission checks
  • + Ready connectors for SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Xero and QuickBooks
  • + Muscat postal address listed on its Oman page

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices: demo and quote only
  • โˆ’ Compliance layer only: you still need accounting software
  • โˆ’ Oman page offers no Arabic version
  • โˆ’ A second vendor and contract alongside your accounting software

Oman note

Oman is phasing in mandatory e-invoicing (Fawtara) through accredited service providers. ClearTax's page lists a pilot for the top 100 taxpayers from August 2026, businesses with annual supplies of OMR 5 million or more from April 2027 and the rest from October 2027; the Oman Tax Authority's FAQ gives different phase dates, so check your own start date with the OTA. See our Oman e-invoicing guide.

Typical Oman pricing: Quote-based; ClearTax publishes no Oman prices and offers a demo booking instead.
