Telecoms & IT · recurring subscriptions and project profitability

An unrenewed subscription is a silent loss — stop it with an alert

Tech companies lose money on two fronts: subscriptions that end without renewal, and support hours given outside the contract with no invoice. Furat makes every subscription a contract with an automatic billing schedule and a renewal alert, and works out each project's profit after team hours and vendor licences — so you know which client uses more than they pay for.

Quick answer

What's the best accounting software for IT companies in Saudi Arabia?

The right software for a tech company must give you five things: recurring subscription billing with automatic renewal, tiered service contracts with expiry alerts, project profitability that counts team hours and vendor licences, quotations that turn into a contract and an invoice in one click, and ZATCA-compliant invoices. Furat brings them together in Arabic; the package starts at SAR 169 a month before VAT, live in one to two days.

Why a system matters here

Why doesn't general accounting work for a tech company?

Because your revenue isn't a one-off sale but an ongoing commitment. A subscription falls due monthly, a licence is bought yearly, support is measured by the hour, and a project is delivered in phases. A general system records an invoice only when cash arrives, so it never sees a missed renewal or an unbilled hour. The right system manages the ongoing commitment, so recurring revenue becomes predictable.

A subscription is a contract, not an invoice

An automatic billing schedule with a renewal date and an advance alert, so no month passes with service delivered for free.

Every hour tied to the contract

Every logged hour is billed, or marked out of scope by a documented decision — never an uncounted favour.

Profit after vendor costs

Cloud licences and third-party tools are charged to the project, so you see the net margin, not the gross.

Benefits

What Furat adds in telecoms and IT

Six capabilities built around the recurring-revenue model and the way tech projects run.

Subscription billing with automatic renewal

Monthly, quarterly and yearly, with invoices issued on time and a notice to the client as long before renewal as you choose.

Tiered service contracts

Support packages with a set number of hours or tickets, and the used balance visible to the client and your team at the same time.

Project and client profitability

Revenue against team hours, vendor licences and delivery costs, for every project and client separately.

A quotation that becomes a contract and an invoice

In one click, with no re-entering of line items, and an e-signed copy in the archive.

Forecast recurring revenue

A report of active subscriptions and their due dates, so you know the coming months' revenue before they start.

Receivables ageing and collection follow-up

Late clients ranked by amount and age, with a documented claims log for each one.

Risks and losses

How does Furat protect you from losses and risks?

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

A subscription that lapsed unrenewedNobody owns the date and no alert comes before expiryA renewal alert and a task for an owner as long before the expiry date as you choose
Free support hoursAn out-of-contract request done as a favourThe contract's hours balance shows on every ticket, and anything beyond it needs approval
Service delivered with no invoiceWork starts before the contract is issuedNo service is activated before a signed contract with a billing schedule linked to it
A licence paid for and never charged onA vendor cost left in general expensesThe licence is charged to a project or client, so its net margin shows
Late collection that dries up cashFollow-up that depends on people's memoryReceivables ageing and automatic reminders on a fixed schedule

With recurring revenue, every month that passes without an invoice is revenue that never comes back. The difference between a company that grows and one that runs in place is how well it manages renewals.

Questions tech companies ask

How does Furat handle recurring subscriptions and renewals?

Every subscription is a contract with a value, a billing cycle and an end date. The system issues the invoice on time automatically and sends it to the client, alerts the owner as long before renewal as you choose, and reports subscriptions that have ended or are about to — so no renewal passes without a decision.

Does the system work out each tech project's profitability?

Yes. The project is a cost centre that carries its revenue, its team's hours, vendor licences and delivery costs. The system compares spend with the approved budget and gives you the net margin, so before delivery you know which project uses more than its client pays.

Can I bill clients abroad in other currencies?

Yes. Furat bills in riyals and other currencies at up-to-date exchange rates and records currency differences in the financial statements automatically. Invoices for the Saudi market are issued ZATCA-compliant and connected to the FATOORA platform.

How long does it take to get Furat running at a tech company?

One to two days. We set up the chart of accounts, your services and support packages, migrate your clients and their current contracts with renewal dates from Excel for free, train your sales and finance team remotely in Arabic, then run your first automatic billing cycle with you.
