We got tired of patching ERPs
AMANA was born from a simple frustration: no ERP on the market could pass the WPS + ZATCA + Arabic POS test simultaneously. So we built one that could.
Our mission
To give every GCC and African retailer — from a Dubai perfume boutique to a Nairobi grocery chain — access to enterprise-grade software at a price that makes business sense.
Enterprise ERP has always been the domain of large corporations with big IT budgets. SMBs were left with consumer software that couldn't handle compliance, or $100k+ implementations that never quite fitted.
AMANA changes that. Full compliance, full functionality, flat pricing.
GCC-first, not GCC-adapted
We didn't take a Western ERP and add Arabic support. We built for the GCC from the first line of code.
No enterprise tax on SMBs
The features Saudi banks use for compliance shouldn't cost AED 4,000/month for a 3-person boutique.
Compliance as a feature, not a module
ZATCA, WPS, and VAT are built into the core — not add-ons you find out about after implementation.
Africa deserves proper software
Mobile money isn't a feature to bolt on. It's the payment infrastructure of a billion people.
