Medad ERP vs Oracle Aconex

Two Saudi Arabia software options, compared side by side for Saudi Arabia trades.

Which should you choose?

Medad ERP 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.

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).

Oracle Aconex

Tier A · Listed

Oracle'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

− No public prices: quote from Oracle
− Built for multi-party projects, more than a small contractor needs
− Not an accounting or ZATCA e-invoicing tool
− 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.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Quote-based; no public price list found.
