Custom ERP Development in Saudi Arabia: Enterprise and Arabic-English Systems

Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Pakistan time (PKT, UTC+5), which is 07:00 to 16:00 Saudi time (Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3). The Saudi weekend is Friday and Saturday, so Monday to Thursday falls inside both working weeks; Sunday is outside our office hours, and meetings are scheduled on the days we share.

Yes. Right-to-left layouts, bilingual labels, Arabic-friendly fonts, printed documents in both languages and Hijri or Gregorian dates are planned in the design stage. Our published example is a bilingual Arabic and English public-sector platform in Qatar (client name withheld), designed for both language directions from the first wireframe.

We do not claim PDPL compliance for Timeline Digital, or for a system before it has been assessed. We build with Saudi data protection requirements in mind: role-based access, audit logs, encryption and data minimization, with storage and access documented. Whether a system and its hosting meet the PDPL and its transfer rules is confirmed per project with your data protection adviser.

We do not claim Etimad registration or eligibility, or any local-content status. Where a tender requires a locally registered supplier, a Saudi company can hold the contract and we can support it as the technical delivery partner, providing engineering, project management and documentation. Tell us how the procurement is structured and we will say plainly where we can fit.

Hosting is your decision. We can deploy to a cloud region inside the Kingdom, to your own data centre, or to another environment your policy allows, with the accounts in your organization’s name. We document the hosting and access design so your team can assess it against your data rules.

Yes. Timeline Digital builds custom ERP for companies in the Kingdom remotely from Islamabad, with Arabic and English screens and documents, multi-branch stock and approvals, and invoicing designed to support ZATCA requirements where they apply, confirmed with your tax adviser. You test 2 to 3 modules in a free pilot before the full build.

Invoicing modules are designed around ZATCA’s e-invoicing (Fatoora) requirements where they apply to your business. Which phase applies to you, and whether the finished system conforms, is confirmed with your tax adviser and through ZATCA’s own onboarding process; we do not claim conformance before that.

Yes. Opening balances, customers, suppliers, items and open documents are mapped, loaded and reconciled against your own totals before go-live, with Arabic and English names kept intact. The approach is set out in our ERP data migration services page, and what is migrated is agreed per project.

There is no fixed timeframe: the schedule is set from your requirements in the Plan step. The free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules is ready in about 2 days, and with 1,200+ developers we have the capacity to deliver a focused system in as little as 2 weeks. The full project starts after you approve the pilot, and the scope, milestones and terms are agreed after it. Long-term support under a service level agreement (SLA) follows launch.

Timeline Digital does not publish prices for custom software, because every project is custom. The price is set in three steps: we analyse your requirements, build a free pilot of 2 to 3 key modules, and after you approve the pilot we agree the scope, milestones and commercial terms in writing. Any change request outside the approved scope is reviewed and agreed with you before extra work begins. Our ERP vs custom development comparison explains how the cost of a custom ERP compares with packaged ERP licences.

Before the full project, we build 2 to 3 of your key modules as working software, free of charge. For an ERP that might be purchase requests with approvals and inventory; for a portal, the application form and the officer’s review screen. Your team tests the pilot, and the full build starts only after you approve it.
