Services · Mobile app development · HR management apps
Our HR management app development Dammam work centres on employers whose people live in camps, rotate between client sites and carry a stack of certificates that must never lapse. We build apps for industrial manufacturers, oil and gas service contractors and manpower suppliers across Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail that keep every employee file, training card, Qiwa task and leave request in one system. Supervisors raise requests for workers on a shared tablet, and HR sees who is ready to mobilise tomorrow.
This is the HR record behind the workforce, not the clock in system or the payroll run. Attendance, payroll and recruitment are covered on their own pages; this app is the file each of them relies on.

What the app can include
In the Eastern Province, an HR file is often the thing standing between a worker and a site gate. Operators in Jubail and Ras Tanura expect contractors to prove that each person has a valid iqama, the right safety induction, a current medical fitness record and the trade certificates the job demands. Manpower suppliers second staff to several clients at once. Plants in the Dammam industrial cities employ many nationalities, and many workers rarely sit at a desk. An HR app here needs to treat documents as the centre of the record, work for people who share a device or use a basic phone, and give HR a clear answer to one question every evening: who is cleared to work where tomorrow. The features below are the usual starting set, ordered in discovery by the cost of a missed expiry on your sites.
Each client project lists the documents a worker needs before going to site. The app checks every assigned employee against that list and shows who is complete, who is missing a card and who has something expiring before the job ends. Planners can swap a person out in one tap and see the effect straight away.
Crews mobilise without being turned back at the gate.
Safety inductions, H2S and confined space training, crane and rigging cards, heavy vehicle licences and trade tests, each with an expiry date and a scanned copy. Alerts go to the worker's supervisor and the training coordinator early enough to book a renewal course. Training providers' certificates can be uploaded by the coordinator in bulk after each course.
Renewals booked before a card lapses, not after.
Workers supplied to client companies carry the client, site, start date, expected release and the agreement they work under. When a secondment ends, HR is prompted to reassign the person or start the next step.
Every supplied worker is accounted for, by client and site.
Rooms and beds across company camps in Dammam or Jubail, linked to each employee, with move in and move out dates. Camp bosses see arrivals planned for the week, and HR sees who is housed and who receives an allowance instead. Vacant beds show at a glance.
Camp occupancy matches the live workforce.
Many workers do not use a company app themselves. A supervisor signs in on a shared tablet, selects the worker and submits leave, letter or document requests on their behalf, with the worker confirming by a PIN of their own. The tablet logs out automatically between workers.
Workers without smartphones still reach HR properly.
Arabic and English by default, with key screens and notifications also available in languages such as Urdu, Hindi, Bengali or Tagalog where your workforce needs them. HR writes in one language and approved translations appear for each worker.
Workers understand what they are agreeing to.
Annual vacation requests with the ticket entitlement in the contract, the replacement arranged for the site and the exit and re entry task for HR to complete in the official channel. Return dates are watched, and late returns alert the supervisor. Rotational staff see their next vacation window in the app.
Vacations planned without leaving a site short.
Work permit renewals, contract documentation and employee transfers handled in Qiwa appear as tasks with owners and due dates. HR records the outcome and the app stores the evidence, so audits by a client or a ministry inspector find a complete trail.
Qiwa obligations tracked to completion for each worker.
When an injury happens on site, the app opens a checklist for the safety officer and HR: incident details, medical referral, GOSI occupational hazard notification and return to work clearance. Medical detail is visible only to authorised roles. Repeat incidents on the same site show up in a simple report for the safety manager.
Injury cases handled correctly and kept confidential.
Some Khobar and Dammam staff travel to Bahrain over the King Fahd Causeway for work or family. The app records approved business trips abroad, the vehicle or permit details HR needs and the expected return, and keeps re entry status visible to the line manager while the employee is away.
Short trips abroad are approved and visible, not informal.
Who this is for
The Eastern Province workforce is shaped by industry: plants that run all year, contractors that grow and shrink with project awards, and suppliers who place people with other companies. Head offices in Khobar sit alongside all of them. Each needs a different first release, and getting that order right matters more than the length of the feature list. Many firms fit more than one description, and the app can serve site crews and office staff together under one HR policy set.
Contractors working for operators in Dhahran, Abqaiq or Ras Tanura live by site access rules. Their first release usually covers the mobilisation file, certificate expiry and secondment records, so the planning team can answer a client's crew request with names that are definitely cleared. Every record is ready to share in the format the client's contractor management team asks for.
Start with the documents the gate checks.
Plants in Dammam's industrial cities and in Jubail employ engineers, operators and labourers on long contracts. HR spends much of its time on vacations, tickets, re entry and letters. We start with those requests, run through supervisor tablets on the plant floor, then add training records and the camp register. Plant shift leaders approve requests for their own crews, while HR handles anything touching contracts.
Suppliers placing workers with several client companies need to know at any moment who is placed where, on which agreement and until when. The app records each secondment, flags people about to come off a placement and keeps the documents each client asks for ready to send. Licensing for this work stays your responsibility; the app keeps the records it depends on. Client invoices can draw on the same placement records.
Not every Eastern Province employer runs a site. Khobar is home to company head offices, retail chains and service firms whose staff need a clean self service app for leave, letters and documents. For these, the first release looks more like a modern office HR app, with branch level structure added for shops spread across Dammam, Khobar and Dhahran. Area managers approve for their own branches.
Office and branch staff, not just site crews.
How we work together
We work with Dammam and Khobar clients through video calls for discovery, design reviews and demos, and your supervisors can share short phone videos of how paperwork moves on site today. Our Saudi team is based in Riyadh, and the wider Codeeo team of 80+ spans Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Reviews are scheduled around shift changes so supervisors can join. Most clients start with a fixed scope first release, then keep a retainer for new document types and client rules. Contractors with large, changing workforces sometimes keep a dedicated team. We are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
A Flutter app for workers and supervisors that keeps working on weak site connections, a React or Next.js HR portal and a Laravel or Node backend, hosted in a Saudi cloud region where your clients or policy require it. Scanned certificates are stored with their metadata so search works across thousands of files.

It depends on document types, entities and integrations; dates are fixed after discovery.
The size of your document matrix is often the largest factor, because each certificate type brings its own rules and client requirements. The number of entities, camps, languages and connected systems such as payroll or ERP matter too. A first release focused on the mobilisation file and expiry alerts is much smaller than one covering every HR process, and we plan it around your next big mobilisation where possible. Where a client deadline is fixed, we trim the first release to meet it and move the rest into the next.
