Retrotech

What Retrotech does

Retrotech is a privately held enterprise software company headquartered in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, that builds four independent, modular software systems for demanding industrial sectors: RETRO.RTMS for refinery and terminal management (petroleum-grade tank inventory, custody transfer, contracts, hydrocarbon accounting, and auto-invoicing built on API MPMS Ch. 11.1 and ASTM D1250); RETRO.FMS for fleet management (planned maintenance, defect tracking, procurement, crew compliance with STCW and MLC 2006, EU MRV emissions, and ISM documentation, with offline resilience at sea and DNV-GL type approval); RETRO.DCS for document control (multi-tenant cloud workspace for Client, PMC, EPCC, and Contractor collaboration across project documentation lifecycles); and RETRO.CS for custom solutions (bespoke builds including retro.docs for HR, retro.assets for property management, and retro.invoice for finance). All systems are delivered as cloud-based SaaS with role-based access, audit trails, and configurable implementation, with RETRO.RTMS hosting 100,000+ data entities and optional add-on modules for permit-to-work, production/blending, and HSE/maintenance.

The underlying technology stack is multi-tenant and cloud-based with no server infrastructure required on the client side, configurable to client roles, workflows, and terminology, and engineered against industry regulatory standards (API MPMS, ASTM D1250, STCW, MLC 2006, EU MRV, ISM) rather than generic horizontal workflows. RETRO.FMS is DNV-GL type approved, providing independent third-party validation in the maritime procurement process.

Retrotech's commercial model is enterprise SaaS subscriptions billed annually, combined with implementation and support services covering discovery, data migration, user training, go-live, and ongoing technical support, all delivered end-to-end by the in-house team. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no public pricing and quote-based engagement initiated through website demo requests. Customer concentration sits in oil & energy terminals, marine ship management, and industrial project teams, primarily across the UAE/Middle East, with one named enterprise reference (Jebel Crude Terminal). Marketing and demand generation are minimal, relying on direct outreach and the website rather than digital channels, partnerships, or resellers. The company operates as an independent private firm with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, M&A activity, or leadership team information in the public record.
