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.
