Services · Mobile app development · HR management apps
We offer HR management app development Jeddah employers can run across every site they staff: trading houses near the port, hotels on the Corniche, clinic groups across the city and Umrah service teams who spend the season in Makkah or Madinah. The app holds contracts, leave, documents and employee requests in one place, reminds HR before an iqama or a professional licence expires, and lets staff ask for letters or leave from their phones in Arabic or English.
It is a core HR system, not a time clock or a payroll engine. Separate pages on this site cover attendance, payroll and recruitment; this app is where the employee record lives and where those tools read from.

What the app can include
Jeddah's employers rarely keep everyone in one building. A hospitality group may run hotels in the city while placing seasonal staff in Makkah during Ramadan and Hajj. A freight forwarder has people at the port, at the airport cargo terminal and in a head office on Tahlia Street. Clinics need to know that every doctor and nurse holds a current registration. An HR app for Jeddah has to cope with headcount that rises and falls through the year, staff who move between cities for weeks at a time, and a workforce where Arabic, English and several South Asian and Southeast Asian languages are all in daily use. These are the features Jeddah HR teams usually ask for first, ranked in discovery by how much manual chasing each one removes. Anything that does not make the first release is written into a backlog with a reason, so nothing your team raised is quietly forgotten.
Fixed term contracts for season staff recorded with start and end dates, the site they serve and the renewal decision due. HR sees, weeks ahead, which contracts end after Hajj and which people the operations team wants to keep for the next Umrah season. Non Saudi staff contracts are kept in the written, fixed term form the amended Labour Law expects.
Peak season staffing decisions made early, not on the last day.
Each employee carries a home site and any temporary placement in Makkah or Madinah, with dates, accommodation and the supervisor responsible there. HR can list everyone working outside Jeddah this week in one search.
HR always knows where each person is placed.
Blackout windows for Ramadan, Hajj and the busy winter months, configured per department, so annual leave requests for those dates go to a senior approver. Hajj leave entitlement is tracked separately so it is granted under the conditions the Labour Law sets.
Leave stays fair without leaving hotels short in peak weeks.
Expiry dates for iqamas, passports, driving licences and SCFHS professional registrations, with alerts to the employee, the manager and HR at intervals you choose. Clinicians should not practise on a lapsed registration, so this alert carries real weight for hospitals.
Expired documents are caught before they cause a problem.
Employees request vacation travel through the app, with dates, destination and ticket entitlement. HR receives a task to process the exit and re entry visa in the official channel, then records the visa details and return date on the file. If someone has not returned by the agreed date, HR and the manager are alerted the next morning.
Vacation travel handled in one request, not five messages.
Jeddah family groups often move people between their trading, property and services companies. The app records the internal decision, the Qiwa transfer task and the new entity details, and keeps the full employment history on one profile.
Group moves keep a clean, single history per person.
For hotels and contractors that house staff, the app records the building and room assigned, check in and check out dates and any housing allowance paid instead. Facilities and HR see the same list. When a contract ends, the room is flagged for release so the next arrival can be housed.
Accommodation and allowances stay in step with each contract.
Staff raise questions about leave, documents or policies as tickets inside the app, in their own language where you support it. Tickets are routed to the right HR officer, tracked to closure and searchable later. Common answers become help articles that staff can read before opening a ticket.
Fewer questions lost in personal phone chats.
Disciplinary notes, warnings and investigation records kept with restricted access, following the steps in your work regulations. Employees acknowledge warnings in the app, and the record shows who saw it and when. Appeals and final decisions are attached to the same record.
Disciplinary steps documented the way your regulations require.
Payslip links from your payroll system, leave balances, letter requests, document uploads and personal detail updates in Arabic or English. Updates to bank details or family members go to HR for approval before they change the record.
Routine requests handled without a trip to the HR office.
Who this is for
Jeddah's economy mixes old trading families, a busy seaport, a large hospitality sector serving pilgrims and visitors, and fast growing private healthcare. Each brings its own HR headaches, and each needs a different first release. Here are four employers we design for, with what usually goes into version one. If your business crosses two of these groups, such as a hotel company that also runs a clinic, the app can serve both under one set of HR rules with separate document checks for each.
Headcount climbs before Ramadan and Hajj and falls afterwards, and many staff spend part of the year in Makkah or Madinah. The first release usually covers seasonal contracts, placements across the three cities, housing and leave blackouts. Supervisors approve requests on their phones at the hotel, and HR in Jeddah keeps a live view of who is where. Returning seasonal staff are rehired from their old profile instead of starting again.
Seasonal swings planned for, not patched around.
Long established Jeddah groups often run several companies with shared managers and staff who move between them. They need entity level records, group approvals and a clean history when someone transfers. We usually start with the employee file, transfers and letters, because those are the requests that pile up on the group HR desk. Reporting is split by company for the auditors and combined for the family board.
Staff at Jeddah Islamic Port, the airport cargo area and the head office follow different shift patterns and carry different permits and licences. The app keeps those documents current, records which site each person belongs to and gives drivers and clerks a simple way to request leave and letters without visiting the office. Many of these employees are drivers, so licence and medical fitness dates sit on the same profile.
Clinical staff must hold current SCFHS registration, and many are expatriates with family documents to manage as well. The app tracks registrations, iqamas and contracts together, sends alerts well before expiry and keeps sensitive records behind tighter access than administrative staff files.
Professional registrations tracked alongside iqamas.
How we work together
Our team works with Jeddah clients by video call for discovery, design reviews and release demos, supported by colleagues in our Riyadh office who know Saudi HR rules well. Every demo is recorded and shared with you, so HR officers who join later can see how each feature was meant to work. Most projects begin with a fixed scope first release, then continue on a monthly retainer that covers policy updates and new features. Groups with several companies sometimes take a dedicated team. Codeeo has 80+ people across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US.
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
Typically a Flutter or React Native app for staff, a web portal for HR in React or Next.js, and a Laravel or Node backend. Hosting sits in a Saudi cloud region when your data policy requires it.

03Marketing and tracking
We agree the timing after discovery, based on scope and how many sites and entities you run.
Timing depends mainly on the number of entities and sites, the number of request types, how tidy your current employee data is and any systems the app must connect to. We also plan around your calendar: most Jeddah hospitality and Umrah clients prefer to launch outside Ramadan and Hajj, so we work backwards from a quiet month. The release plan and review dates are written down before design starts. If you need a version live before a particular season, we cut the scope to fit rather than compressing testing.
