logistics
in Riyadh
If you're running a logistics business in Riyadh, you already know the off-the-shelf tools don't fit the Saudi workflow. Custom software, built by one senior engineer on a fixed SAR price, is how serious operators close the gap.
The logistics problem.
Vision 2030 logistics push (Saudi Logistics Hub, Bahri, SPL) is creating dozens of fast-growing 3PLs that need custom TMS / WMS.

How a logistics build runs in Riyadh.
Process is deliberately boring: short discovery call → written proposal with SAR pricing and timeline → milestone-based delivery → launch + 30 days of post-launch support.
I work the Saudi week (Sun–Thu), price in SAR, and default to WhatsApp because that's how every Riyadh business actually communicates.
Local Saudi stack for Riyadh builds
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. Riyadh 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 logistics builds in Riyadh
- 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.
