Businesses in Saudi Arabia

What they ask us to build.

The projects that suit a remote team in India best — each one shaped around how your business runs.
  • 01

    ZATCA e-invoicing

    Billing that produces compliant e-invoices with QR codes and connects to ZATCA’s platform in your integration wave.

  • 02

    Arabic-first apps

    Customer and staff apps designed right-to-left first, with English as the second language.

  • 03

    HR and workforce

    Attendance, payroll and Saudization (Nitaqat) tracking for multi-site teams.

  • 04

    Trading, contracting and fleets

    ERPs for distribution, construction projects and vehicle fleets.

Rules & integrations

What a build for Saudi Arabia takes care of.

The data, tax, invoicing, accessibility and payment rules we design for. A summary, not legal advice — your adviser has the final word.
  • ZATCA e-invoicing (FATOORA)

    E-invoices are mandatory. In the integration phase, businesses join in waves and connect their invoicing to ZATCA’s platform, with XML invoices and QR codes.

  • VAT

    Saudi VAT is 15%; invoices carry the VAT number and breakdown.

  • Personal Data Protection Law

    The PDPL has been enforced since September 2024, with rules on consent, people’s rights over their data and transfers outside the Kingdom.

  • Arabic and Hijri dates

    Arabic interfaces, with Hijri and Gregorian dates side by side where staff and customers expect them.

  • Working week

    The week runs Sunday to Thursday; schedules and reminders follow it.

  • Payments

    mada cards, Apple Pay, STC Pay and SADAD through local payment gateways.

  • Other Gulf states

    Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain each set their own tax and data rules, so invoices and consent screens are configured per country.

FAQ

Working with us from Saudi Arabia: FAQ

All questions →
Can the billing connect to ZATCA?

Yes. Invoices are generated in ZATCA’s XML format with the QR code, and the system can be onboarded to the FATOORA platform when your wave is due.

What is the time difference between Saudi Arabia and India?

India is 2.5 hours ahead of Riyadh, so most of the working day overlaps — 10 am in Riyadh is 12:30 pm in India.

Can the software track Saudization?

Yes. Headcount by nationality and the Nitaqat band can be tracked per entity, with alerts before a hiring change moves you into a lower band.

Do you work with Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain?

Yes, remotely. Each country has its own tax and data rules, so invoices, consent and hosting are set up for the country you operate in.

Do you have an office in Saudi Arabia?

No. Our team is in Lucknow, India, and works with Gulf clients remotely, in your working hours.
