Two Saudi Arabia software options, compared side by side for Saudi Arabia trades.
Which should you choose?
Focus Softnet (Focus CAFM) and Oracle Aconex are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Saudi Arabia-specific notes below against your trade and region.
Focus Softnet (Focus CAFM)
Tier A ยท ListedFacility-management (CAFM) software from ERP vendor Focus Softnet
Focus CAFM is the facility-management product of Focus Softnet, an ERP vendor established in 1992 that says it runs 27 offices in 17 countries. It handles work orders, maintenance including predictive maintenance, asset tracking and mobile access, and connects to HR, CRM and other systems. Focus's Saudi site lists offices in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar and a separate ZATCA e-invoicing module.
Pros
- + Work orders, asset tracking and maintenance in one CAFM tool
- + Mobile facility management for technicians on site
- + Saudi offices in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar
- + Focus sells a ZATCA e-invoicing module for its ERP and others
Cons
- โ No public prices; demo and quote only
- โ The CAFM page does not mention Arabic support
- โ The CAFM page does not describe invoicing or ZATCA features
- โ Aimed at building owners and facility managers more than small trade firms
Saudi Arabia note
Focus Softnet's Saudi site lists a head office in Riyadh and branches in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar. Its separate e-invoicing module issues ZATCA tax and simplified invoices in Arabic and English with QR codes and cryptographic stamps, and works with Focus X or other ERPs; the CAFM page itself does not describe invoicing.
Oracle Aconex
Tier A ยท ListedOracle's cloud document control and project collaboration platform
Oracle Aconex is a cloud platform where every party on a project shares documents, formal correspondence (Mail) and review workflows in one auditable record; Oracle announced its purchase of Aconex in December 2017. Oracle's Aconex status page lists a Saudi Arabia (KSA1) instance and a separate Middle East (MEA) instance. In January 2026 Oracle announced that Red Sea Global had selected Aconex and Primavera P6 to connect more than 23,000 users.
Pros
- + Documents, Mail and approval workflows in one shared project record
- + Saudi Arabia (KSA1) instance listed by Oracle
- + Selected by Red Sea Global in January 2026 (per Oracle)
- + Oracle Aconex Mobile app for site teams
Cons
- โ No public prices: quote from Oracle
- โ Built for multi-party projects, more than a small contractor needs
- โ Not an accounting or ZATCA e-invoicing tool
- โ Support Central help is not offered in Arabic
Saudi Arabia note
Aconex suits main contractors, consultants and project owners who need one shared record of documents and correspondence across many companies. It does not issue tax invoices, so ZATCA e-invoicing stays in your accounting or ERP system.
