First Bit ERP

Tier A · Listed

Construction ERP: project cost control, procurement, finance and payroll

First Bit, founded in Moscow, sells a construction ERP in Saudi Arabia from a Riyadh office and in the UAE from Dubai. Its modules cover project cost control, project management, procurement, accounting, taxes, HR and payroll, warehouse and equipment. First Bit says more than 2,000 Middle East companies have chosen it and that it sends ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoices to the Fatoora portal.

Pros

+ Built for construction firms: project cost control, procurement, equipment
+ ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing, VAT and WHT returns (per First Bit)
+ Arabic and English, with a Riyadh office
+ Cloud or on-premises deployment

Cons

− No public prices: quote based on users and implementation
− A full ERP needs implementation time and setup
− Heavier than a simple accounting app for small firms
− Evaluation is through a requested demo

Saudi Arabia note

First Bit says its Saudi version generates VAT and withholding-tax returns in ZATCA format and sends Phase 2 e-invoices to the Fatoora portal with digital signatures. Ask for a live demo of the Fatoora integration before you sign.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. First Bit says cost depends on the number of users and implementation needs, and that the subscription includes updates, support, onboarding and training.

Medad ERP

Tier A · Listed

Saudi accounting and ERP software: finance, sales, inventory and payroll

Medad, sold by Medad LLC under Saudi law, is accounting and ERP software for small and medium Saudi businesses, covering the general ledger, sales and invoicing, purchasing, inventory, fixed assets and HR and payroll. It comes as Medad Online (cloud, priced by number of users) or Medad Desktop. Medad says it is approved for ZATCA's second e-invoicing integration phase and has more than 20,000 users.

Pros

+ ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing approval (per Medad)
+ Arabic interface with English, and Hijri and Gregorian calendars
+ Finance, inventory and payroll in one system
+ Cloud or desktop versions

Cons

− No public prices: contact sales or request a demo account
− Contracting page describes cost centres, not BOQ or progress billing
− Subscriptions auto-renew; refunds only within 10 days if unused
− No company address shown on the website

Saudi Arabia note

A Saudi option for smaller contracting firms whose first need is ZATCA-compliant accounting and payroll rather than detailed project controls. Medad says it meets ZATCA's first and second e-invoicing phases; confirm Fatoora integration in the demo account.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. Medad Online is priced by number of users, and fees are charged in Saudi riyals on an auto-renewing subscription (per Medad's terms).
