Oracle Aconex vs PACT ERP
Two Saudi Arabia software options, compared side by side for Saudi Arabia trades.
Which should you choose?
Oracle Aconex and PACT ERP 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.
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.
PACT ERP
Tier A ยท ListedContracting ERP: project planning, cost control, procurement and payroll
PACT Software, founded in 1998 and headquartered in India, sells a contracting ERP in Saudi Arabia from an office in Riyadh; it also has offices in the UAE, Qatar, Kenya and the USA. Its construction module covers project scheduling, budget and cost tracking, procurement, inventory, payroll and timesheets, with Arabic support. PACT says it has more than 12,000 customers worldwide.
Pros
- + Construction module with project costing, budget alerts and procurement
- + Payroll, attendance and timesheets in the same system
- + Arabic and English, with a Riyadh office
- + Cloud or on-premises deployment
Cons
- โ No public prices: quote only
- โ Site claims ZATCA e-invoicing support but no ZATCA approval
- โ ERP setup and implementation effort
- โ Construction detail such as BOQ or retention billing not described on the site
Saudi Arabia note
PACT's site says its ERP complies with Saudi VAT and e-invoicing rules, and its construction page mentions automated tax calculations. Ask to see a Phase 2 invoice cleared through Fatoora in the demo before you commit.
