Focus Softnet
Tier A · ListedERP suite with a Muscat office and a real estate and construction edition
Focus Softnet sells the Focus X cloud ERP and related products including CRM, HCM, warehouse, POS and CAFM, plus a real estate and construction edition with project management, cost control, contract management and property management. Its Oman company, Focus Softnet LLC, has an office in MBD Business Center, Ruwi, Muscat. Focus Softnet says it has 30+ years in business, 17+ countries and 27 offices.
Pros

- + Project cost control, contract management and property management in one ERP
- + Focus says its e-invoicing is Oman-ready and Peppol compliant
- + Wide product range (ERP, CRM, HCM, warehouse, CAFM)
Cons

- − OTA accreditation for e-invoicing not confirmed in this check
- − Broad ERP: expect an implementation project
Oman note
Focus Softnet has an Oman company and a Muscat office (MBD Business Center, Ruwi), so there is a local team to ask about implementation. Its Oman site says it is 'Oman E-Invoicing Ready'; ask for proof of its Fawtara status with the Oman Tax Authority before you rely on it for e-invoicing.
Zoho (Books)
Tier S · Published pricesCloud accounting with an Oman VAT edition and published USD prices
Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho with an Oman edition that creates VAT invoices, applies VAT rates to sales and purchases and produces VAT reports for filing, in English or Arabic. Zoho publishes its Oman prices in US dollars, from a free plan for businesses under 50K USD revenue a year up to an Ultimate plan. It handles invoicing, bookkeeping and project time billing, not construction management.
Pros
- + Oman edition with VAT invoices and VAT reports for filing
- + Published prices and a free plan
- + English and Arabic interface
- + Projects with time and expense billing
Cons
- − Accounting, not construction management
- − No construction BOQ or job-costing module listed
- − Oman site makes no Fawtara e-invoicing claim yet
- − Extra users cost $2.5-$3 a month each
Oman note
Zoho's Oman edition handles VAT invoices and VAT reports, and its prices are shown in US dollars, not Omani rials. Oman Observer and Gulf News reported in August 2026 that e-invoicing (Fawtara) becomes mandatory in phases from April 2027; check your own start date with the Oman Tax Authority. Zoho's Oman site does not yet describe Fawtara support, so ask Zoho how it will connect before your phase starts.
