Saudisoft

What Saudisoft does

Saudisoft is a privately held Saudi Arabian value-added distributor and software solutions provider headquartered in Jeddah, operating in the Middle East and North Africa market since 1983. The company combines long-tenured authorized distribution for global technology brands (Epson, HID Global, PFU/RICOH, Invixium, DESKO, SUNMI, and historically IBM and Citizen) with two proprietary branded software products: GreenTax, a ZATCA Phase 2-compliant e-invoicing platform with ERP/POS API integration, and GreenAccess, a mobile access control solution built on HID Seos credential technology. It also runs a localization and translation practice anchored by a Microsoft partnership dating to 1992, and holds a content management deployment in Saudi government sectors since 1996. A 2009 joint venture, SAVCOM with EMS, extends the company into integrated video display solutions.

The company serves enterprise organizations, government institutions, small and medium businesses, and multinational corporations, with pricing on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, an authorized reseller and partner network (with selectable product lines), and self-service lead capture via a bilingual English/Arabic website. Operations are anchored in three Saudi offices (Jeddah as headquarters, Riyadh, and Al Khobar), with a government service-level agreement covering 13 cities. Revenue derives from hardware distribution margins, software licensing and subscriptions (notably GreenTax and GreenAccess), professional services for implementation and integration, and translation and localization services. No revenue, funding rounds, or institutional ownership are disclosed in the available source material.
