Serving Saudi Arabia remotely from Islamabad
Timeline Digital is a software development company headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan, that builds custom ERP, enterprise and workflow systems with Arabic and English interfaces for organizations in Saudi Arabia. The work is delivered remotely, and our office hours run 07:00 to 16:00 Saudi time.
At a glance
Most organizations are not short of effort. They are held back by spreadsheets, approval chains on WhatsApp and systems that were never connected. We start with the problem, then choose the system.

Learn moreWe serve the whole Kingdom remotely from our Islamabad headquarters. The software work is the same everywhere; the organizations and their priorities differ by city.
Riyadh is the capital and the base of most government bodies and many national head offices. Systems for a Riyadh organization are usually central: ERP and HR across regions, approval workflows between departments, and management reporting that consolidates every branch. Government-facing work brings formal requirements, security documentation and bilingual interfaces.
Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast, is the Kingdom’s main commercial port city, with a large base of trading, import, distribution and hospitality businesses. Typical needs are import costing, inventory across several warehouses, sales and delivery apps, and booking or front-desk systems.
Dammam and Al Khobar, in the Eastern Province, sit at the centre of the energy industry and the contractors, suppliers and service companies around it. Typical needs are project costing and job tracking, equipment and maintenance records, and field-service apps with safety checklists that work offline on site.
Arabic is treated as a first-class direction, not a mirror added at the end. Forms, tables, charts and navigation read correctly right to left and switch cleanly to English. Labels and published content are maintained in both languages, printed documents and PDFs can carry both, and Hijri or Gregorian dates are handled where a process needs them.
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. Project communication runs in English, and the Arabic wording on screens and documents is reviewed and approved with your team.

Before you commit to the full project, we build 2 to 3 of your key modules as working software, free of charge. Your team tests the pilot, and the full build starts only after you approve it.

Together we choose 2 to 3 key modules that prove the solution.
We build those modules as real, working software, free of charge.
Your team uses the pilot. The full project starts only after you approve it.
Delivered remotely from our Islamabad headquarters, with scheduled video meetings in your working hours; on-site visits only when agreed in the contract.
Office hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Pakistan time (PKT, UTC+5).
Behind every project is a company with 1,200+ developers and 85+ management professionals, including group-company employees, building software since 2013. Every project follows the same five steps; How We Work explains each one.
Saudi buyers ask about local presence, data protection and procurement early, so here are the plain answers.
What we do: build with Saudi data protection requirements in mind, deploy to the hosting your policy requires, and document where data lives and who can reach it. Our security and data protection page sets out how we handle data.
Offices, working hours, Arabic interfaces, data protection, procurement and the free pilot, answered plainly.
No. Timeline Digital’s only office is its headquarters in Islamabad, Pakistan, and we have no legal entity in the Kingdom. We serve organizations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar and elsewhere remotely, with video meetings in your working hours; on-site visits happen only when agreed in the contract.
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 personal data protection requirements in mind: role-based access, audit logs, encryption and data minimization, and we document where data is stored and who can access it. Whether a system and its hosting meet the PDPL and its data transfer rules is confirmed per project with your data protection officer or advisers.
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.
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.
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.
Procurement, inventory, finance and HR in one system built around your processes.
