What Manafith Saudia / منافذ السعودية does

Manafith Saudia (منافذ السعودية) is a Saudi B2B software platform that digitizes in-kind aid distribution for charitable associations. Founded in 2009 (operating commercially since 2011) and headquartered in Buraydah, Al-Qassim, the company operates a multi-module system that replaces manual storage, sorting, and disbursement with smart cards, electronic vouchers, and a beneficiary-facing mobile app, enabling charities to act as coordinators rather than logistics operators. As of the most recent disclosure the platform serves 362 charitable associations, 2,542 point-of-sale locations, 7 donor institutions, and 3 endowments, and has tracked outcomes for 215,731 beneficiaries across Saudi Arabia.

The platform is built on a core Manafith System augmented by specialized modules: Manafith Delivery (last-mile logistics with GPS verification), Manafith Seasons (prepaid cards and e-wallets), Manafith Partnerships (cross-sector benefits exchange), Manafith Allocations (restricted fund disbursement), and Manafith Coupons (electronic vouchers). Supporting units cover evaluation, survey, donor reporting, document exchange, and beneficiary communication. Underlying technology includes RF smart cards launched in 2014, an interactive web platform in 2015, API integrations with charity back-office and store POS systems in 2017, a Web POS Online portal in 2018, and a beneficiary mobile app launched on iOS and Android in 2019. In April 2024 the platform was accredited by the National Center for Developing the Non-Profit Sector.

Manafith earns revenue through a hybrid model combining SaaS subscriptions from charitable associations, transaction fees on aid purchases routed through partner stores, integration fees from commercial merchants, and processing fees from prepaid donation cards issued via the Investment unit. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; go-to-market is sales-led with dedicated contact forms for charities, donor institutions, stores, and technology partners. Distribution is domestic to Saudi Arabia, with the company positioned for potential expansion to other Gulf and Muslim-majority markets given the Islamic-aid applicability of the underlying use case.

Core offering

Manafith Saudia operates a unified digital platform that helps charitable associations in Saudi Arabia digitize the disbursement of in-kind aid to beneficiaries. The platform issues RF smart cards, electronic vouchers, and a beneficiary mobile app that allow aid recipients to shop at a network of contracted partner stores and service providers. It integrates with charity internal systems and store point-of-sale (POS) systems for real-time documentation, reporting, and VAT recovery.

Product overview

Manafith Saudia operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on the Manafith System (منافذ), a unified platform for managing aid disbursement and handling for charitable societies. The core platform is augmented by specialized modules: Manafith Delivery (delivery management), Manafith Seasons (prepaid card/e-wallet management), Manafith Partnerships (benefits exchange), Manafith Allocations (restricted fund management), and Manafith Coupons (electronic voucher issuance). Supporting these are auxiliary units (Manafith Evaluation, Survey, Donors, Attachments, Communication) that operate across project lifecycle stages. The platform also includes a mobile app for beneficiaries. All components share a unified database and operate within an integrated digital environment targeting charitable societies, donor institutions, endowment bodies, stores, and government entities across Saudi Arabia.
