AxoOne project management software with Gantt chart for a contracting project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Schedule, cost and billing on one screen

Projects in the Kingdom rarely fail because of a single big mistake. They slip one week at a time: a supplier delivers late, a crew sits idle waiting for materials, overtime is not charged to the right job, and nobody notices the budget overrun until the final invoice. AxoOne Projects connects the plan with what actually happens, so project managers see delays and cost pressure while there is still time to act.

Each project has its own work breakdown, milestones, team, budget and documents. Engineers and developers update task progress and timesheets from their phone, purchase requests and material issues are charged to the project, and finance raises progress invoices against completed work. Whether you are fitting out offices in Riyadh, building villas in Jeddah or delivering an ERP rollout in Dammam, everyone works from the same up-to-date plan.

Built for Saudi contractors and service companies

Contracting in Saudi Arabia runs on progress claims (المستخلصات), retention and advance payments, and many projects for government entities are tendered and managed through the Etimad platform of the Ministry of Finance. AxoOne Projects tracks the contract value, approved variations, certified progress, retention held and advance recovered for each project, so your claims match the contract and your cash position is clear before the next submission.

Every progress invoice is issued as a ZATCA-compliant e-invoice with VAT calculated automatically, and B2B tax invoices follow the Phase 2 clearance flow. Timesheets connect project hours with your employees and expatriate labour, the system works in Arabic and English with Hijri and Gregorian dates, and project teams in Riyadh, Jeddah, the Eastern Province or remote sites can all work from the same cloud data.

Start faster with ready project templates for fit-out, MEP and software implementation projects, then adjust phases and cost codes to match your company.

What is the best project management software for contractors in Saudi Arabia?

The best choice links planning with cost and billing. Look for Gantt scheduling, budgets by cost code, timesheets, material and subcontractor costs, progress claims with retention, ZATCA e-invoicing and Arabic support. AxoOne Projects covers all of these in one system, so contractors do not need separate tools for planning and accounts.

Does AxoOne Projects include Gantt charts?

Yes. Every project has an interactive Gantt chart with task dependencies, milestones and baselines. You can drag tasks to reschedule, see the critical path, and compare the current plan against the baseline to spot delays early.

Can it handle progress claims and retention?

Yes. You can bill by percentage complete or by measured quantities, deduct retention and advance payment recovery automatically, and track approved variations. Each claim is issued as a ZATCA e-invoice and the project ledger shows billed, certified and outstanding amounts.

How do timesheets work for site and office staff?

Employees log hours against project tasks from the web or the mobile app, including overtime. Supervisors approve timesheets, and the approved hours are costed at each employee's rate and charged to the right project and cost code.

Is it only for construction companies?

No. Besides contracting and fit-out, AxoOne Projects is used for IT implementations, software development, engineering consultancy, events and internal company projects. Templates and cost codes can be adjusted to match the way each team works.
