ERP development for businesses in the GCC
HAYKALI designs and builds ERP systems for companies in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider GCC. Finance, inventory, procurement, HR and operations share one data model, in Arabic and English, sized to how your company actually works rather than how a generic package assumes it does.
Who it is for
- Companies whose accounting tool and operations live in separate systems
- Growing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but not the way they work
- Groups with several branches or entities that need one view
- Teams that tried an off-the-shelf ERP and had to bend the business around it
What it usually includes
- Finance and accounting
- Inventory and procurement
- HR and approvals
- Reports from live data
When businesses usually need itData is retyped between the accounting tool and everything else.

Questions about this service
What is a custom ERP system?
A custom ERP is one system for the core of a company (finance, inventory, procurement, HR and operations) designed around that company's own processes. Instead of configuring a generic package, the records, rules and screens are built for how the business already works.
Should we build a custom ERP or buy an off-the-shelf one?
Buy when your processes are standard and the package fits them. Build when the way you work is part of your advantage, or when every package needs so much customisation that nobody can maintain it. We start by mapping your operation, then tell you honestly which side you are on.
Can the ERP work in Arabic and English?
Yes. Every system we build supports Arabic and English from the first release, with right-to-left layouts and bilingual data, not a translation added later.
How much does ERP development cost and how long does it take?
It depends on scope: how many departments, entities and integrations are involved. We do not quote before mapping the operation. After the first stages you get a scoped first release with a clear cost and plan, and the system grows from there.
