government
across the Kingdom
Government & Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia is being rewritten by Vision 2030 — and the operators that come out ahead are the ones with software that integrates with the local stack (Mada, Nafath, ZATCA, Salla / Zid, WhatsApp Business) instead of fighting it.

The government problem.
DGA-aligned architecture, Nafath authentication and Arabic-first accessibility are required to win contracts.

How a government engagement runs.
Every engagement starts with a 30-minute discovery call to scope the problem, then a fixed-price proposal with milestones. No retainers, no surprise invoices.

Local Saudi stack wired in by default
Every Saudi engagement ships with the local payment, compliance and identity rails integrated from day one — no surprise vendor selection at the end of the build. Saudi operators expect Mada + Apple Pay as the default checkout, Tabby and Tamara as BNPL options, ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing on every invoice, and Arabic-first UX with proper RTL — and that's exactly what gets delivered.
Why Saudi operators choose government builds
- Senior delivery — the engineer who scopes the work is the same one who ships it. No junior hand-offs, no agency layers, no account managers between you and code.
- Fixed SAR pricing per milestone — invoiced in SAR for KSA entities, with ZATCA-compliant tax invoices end-to-end. No surprise change-orders, no time-and-materials drift.
- Saudi rails by default — Mada, Tabby, Tamara, STC Pay, ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing, Nafath SSO and bilingual EN/AR with proper RTL are part of the base scope, not phase 2 upsells.
- KSA business week — Sun–Thu working pattern, WhatsApp-first communication on +44 7782 267774, and async standups that respect Riyadh time. Most operators get a same-day response inside business hours.
- Full code + IP transfer on completion — production-grade Next.js / Postgres stack, documented, in your GitHub, with deployment that you own. No vendor lock-in.
