Administrative & support services · operations contracts, sites and work orders

The company makes money, the site loses it — until you separate every site's accounts

Operations, maintenance, security and manpower companies work on long contracts across many sites, each with its own headcount, equipment and costs. Lumped into one account the average looks fine, and a site run beyond what the contract allows disappears. Furat makes every site a cost centre with its revenue, costs and margin.

Quick answer

What's the best accounting software for operations and maintenance companies in Saudi Arabia?

The right software for an operations company must give you five things: one contract with many sites as cost centres, automatic periodic billing on a fixed due date, work orders and custody closed with the client's signature, labour and equipment costs allocated to sites, and ZATCA-compliant invoices. Furat brings them together in Arabic; the package starts at SAR 189 a month before VAT, live in two to four days.

Why a system matters here

Why doesn't general accounting work for an operations and maintenance company?

Because your contract isn't a sale — it's a commitment to show up every day in scattered places. Revenue is fixed each month, while costs move with headcount, absences, replacements and consumables. A general system puts all salaries in one line and revenue in another, so a site whose margin has worn away never shows. The right system allocates costs to sites, so every contract can be judged on its own.

Each site with its own balance

The contract revenue allocated to the site against its staff wages, materials and equipment, with the margin visible every month.

Billing that follows the contract

A periodic invoice issued on its date at the contracted value, so fixed revenue is never late because someone forgot.

A work order closed with a signature

The technician receives an order and closes it with the client's signature and the materials used on record, so no service goes untraced.

Benefits

What Furat adds in administrative and support services

Six capabilities built around Saudi operations, maintenance and security contracts.

One contract, many sites

The contract value split across its sites, with profitability read per site or for the whole contract in the same report.

Automatic periodic billing

Monthly or quarterly on fixed due dates, with tax invoices issued with no manual step.

Work orders and technician custody

Orders assigned and closed with a signature, and custody of materials and tools for each technician with its own movements and reconciliation.

Wages and equipment allocated

Crew wages and equipment hours are charged to sites, so you see the full cost, not just materials.

Consumables and spare parts

Stock per site or in a central warehouse, with documented transfers and a reorder point for critical spare parts.

Contract compliance indicators

Contracted headcount against actual, and contracted visits against those made, in one report.

Risks and losses

How does Furat protect you from losses and risks?

Five losses that keep recurring at operations and maintenance companies, and where the system stops each one with a control, not personal judgement.

RiskHow it happens in practiceThe control in Furat
A site run beyond the contractReplacements and additions that go through with no check against the contractThe contracted headcount is fixed, and anything above it raises an alert and needs approval
Visits outside the contractA client's request done as a favourEach work order is classed as in or out of contract, and anything outside is billed or approved
A late periodic invoiceBilling depends on the accountant's memoryAn automatic billing schedule with a due date and a notice to the client
A shortfall in a technician's custodyMaterials and tools issued with no recordAn open custody account for every technician, with its own movements and regular reconciliation
A critical spare part runs outNo reorder point and no recorded lead timeA reorder point for every part, with a suggested purchase order before it runs out

In operations contracts, one extra person at one site for a whole year wipes out the contract's margin. The difference between a profitable contract and one that drains you is a separate balance for every site.

Separate your sites' accounts
Before you decide

Six points that settle the decision for an operations company

Written in advance, so you can compare them with any provider before you sign.

Run it from site on a phone

The technician opens and closes the work order and photographs the result from their phone, so data comes from the field, not from paper.

E-signature for contracts and addenda

Client contracts and extension addenda are signed from a phone with an audit trail and a timestamp.

Permissions that separate the site from finance

A site supervisor sees their site, finance sees everything, and the owner sees the summary — with no numbers leaking.

Tax compliance is our job

Every invoice is issued ZATCA-compliant and connected to the FATOORA platform, and every regulatory update reaches your account with no upgrade fee.

Your data stays in the Kingdom, and it is yours

Hosting inside Saudi Arabia, daily backups, and a full export available any time at no charge — your data is never held as leverage over you.

Questions operations and maintenance companies ask

How does Furat work out each site's profitability?

Every site is its own cost centre. Its share of the contract value is posted as revenue, and its staff wages, consumables, equipment hours and transport costs as costs. The system gives you each site's margin every month, so you know which site costs more than it earns before the whole contract's margin wears away.

Can maintenance and security contracts be billed automatically?

Yes. Every contract has a periodic billing schedule with a fixed value and due date; the tax invoice is issued on time, ZATCA-compliant, and the client is notified. Visits and work outside the contract are billed separately once approved.

How are technician custody and consumables controlled?

Every technician has an open custody account that the materials and tools issued to them are posted to, and they are deducted when the work order that used them closes. Regular reconciliation shows any difference by quantity and value, so a shortfall is dealt with at once, not at the year-end count.

How long does it take to get Furat running at an operations and maintenance company?

Two to four working days. We set up the chart of accounts and cost centres for your sites, migrate your current contracts with their values, sites and billing schedules from Excel for free, train operations and finance remotely in Arabic, then issue your first billing run with you.
