Which Odoo packages are suitable for your businesses in Saudi Arabia?
Why Odoo for SMEs in Saudi Arabia?
- Localization: Odoo supports the Arabic interface, and core applications are available for localization, with the ability to adapt to local compliance ( VAT 15%, electronic invoicing "Fatura"/ZATCA) through certified local partners. This makes the transition easier for finance, sales, and warehouse teams in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and the industrial cities.
- A unified and scalable platform: Start with basic applications (accounting, CRM , sales, purchasing, billing) and later add inventory, manufacturing, HR, payroll, projects, POS, e-store… depending on the business’s maturity.
- Local implementation with Saudi expertise: Working with a certified partner within the Kingdom speeds up launch, reduces compliance errors, and improves your team's experience—and that's where Perfect Tech comes in with its implementation and localization expertise in the Saudi market.

Cost: Odoo licenses vs. implementation and support
- Odoo Subscriptions : Typically charged per user and per application , with a discount for early adopters, they vary depending on the hosting provider ( Odoo Online/Odoo.sh/On-Premise ). Official pricing estimates are available on Odoo's pricing page. The final cost varies depending on the number of users, applications, and hosting .
- Implementation and Support (from Perfect Tech): These are the “packages” that cover analysis, setup, configuration, Saudi localization, training, quality assurance, and then support/ SLA .
- Simplified decision equation :
- If your budget is limited and you need fast compliance → Start by launching and activating critical units first .
- If your focus is on process control + sales growth → growth with gradual expansions in waves .
- If you need integrations, Omni-Channel, and governance → Scalability/Enterprise .
- If your budget is limited and you need fast compliance → Start by launching and activating critical units first .
Financial Tip: Define precisely who needs a license (actual users) and start small and then scale up. This lowers the total cost of ownership ( TCO ) and maintains rapid adoption.
