Services · Mobile app development · Inventory management apps
Codeeo delivers inventory management app development in Saudi Arabia for retailers, food and beverage groups, pharmacy chains and distributors with branches across several regions. We build the branch app, the head office dashboard and the links to your POS, accounting and e-invoicing setup, so stock counts, reorders, supplier deliveries and transfers between cities are recorded once and trusted everywhere, from Riyadh to the Red Sea coast and the Eastern Province.
A Saudi stock app has to respect national rules as well as shop floor habits: ZATCA invoicing, personal data law, sector rules for medicines and food, and Arabic first screens. We plan those into the first release instead of bolting them on later.

What the app can include
Saudi Arabia is a large country with distinct regional markets. A chain might buy centrally in Riyadh, receive imports through Jeddah or Dammam, and sell through branches in Qassim, Asir, Tabuk and the holy cities. Each region has its own delivery times, seasonal peaks and customer habits, and head office needs one reliable picture across all of them.
This app manages the stock that sits in shops, outlets, pharmacies and branches, along with supplier orders, transfers between branches and sales from the tills. Warehouse operations such as picking routes and bin locations sit in a separate warehouse system, which we can connect to. The capabilities below are the ones national operators ask for most. We sequence them with you, usually starting with accurate branch stock and POS sync, because every later feature depends on those figures being right.
Stock on hand for every item, grouped by region, city and branch, with filters for brand and category. Regional managers see their own area, head office sees the Kingdom, and anyone can drill from a national total down to one shelf in one shop.
One stock figure that every level of the business agrees on.
Transfers between cities are planned with realistic transit times and tracked from dispatch to receipt, including stock carried by third party couriers. Goods in transit are shown separately, so a shipment on the road from Riyadh to Abha is neither double counted nor forgotten.
Stock between cities is visible until it is received.
Minimum levels and reorder suggestions vary by region and season. Branches in Makkah and Madinah can follow pilgrimage peaks, summer destinations in the southwest can stock up for holidays, and the Eastern Province can follow its own weekend patterns, all inside one ruleset that buyers review.
Reorders follow regional demand rather than a national average.
Phase two of ZATCA's Fatoora e-invoicing requires invoices to be issued through integrated systems. The inventory app does not replace your invoicing system, but it keeps purchase receipts, sales and returns aligned with it, so finance can reconcile stock movements against the invoices ZATCA receives.
Stock records and tax invoices tell the same story.
Groups running several brands often use different POS systems. We connect each one through its API or a scheduled export and map their item codes to one master list, so sales from every brand reduce stock in the same app.
Several POS systems feed one stock picture.
Branches on highways, in smaller towns or in malls with weak signal keep counting, receiving and transferring while offline. Records sync when the connection returns, conflicts are flagged for a supervisor, and head office can see which branches have not synced recently so gaps in the national figure are never hidden.
Remote branches keep working when the network does not.
For pharmacies, batch, expiry and serial data are captured so records can be aligned with SFDA's drug track and trace system. For food businesses, expiry and storage conditions are recorded per batch. The exact integration is scoped with your compliance staff.
Regulated stock carries the data inspectors expect.
Suppliers see purchase orders for their lines, confirm delivery dates per branch and upload delivery notes. Branch staff receive against those notes, and differences are raised with the supplier inside the app instead of by phone.
Supplier deliveries are confirmed before trucks arrive.
Every screen is designed right to left in Arabic first, with English for managers and staff who prefer it. Dates can show in Hijri and Gregorian, and units, product names and notifications are written in both languages from the start.
Staff in every region use the app in the language they work in.
Stock value, turnover, dead stock, shrinkage and transfer performance by region, exported to Excel or connected to Power BI. Leadership can compare regions and decide where to open, expand or consolidate branches.
Expansion decisions use stock data, not instinct.
Who this is for
Vision 2030 has brought new malls, entertainment districts and tourism destinations across the Kingdom, and many Saudi brands now open outside their home city for the first time. Stock control that worked in one city often breaks when branches are a day's drive apart. Differences in language mix, payment habits and delivery partners between regions add to the challenge. These are the four kinds of national operator we usually work with.
A chain that grew in one city is now opening in others, often with a new distribution partner and longer delivery times. We build a branch app that each new location can adopt quickly, with regional reorder rules and transfer routes, so expansion does not depend on one buyer remembering every shop's needs. If some new locations are franchised, franchisees get limited access to report their own stock and order from you, without seeing other partners' figures.
New regions join the same system rather than a parallel one.
Food and beverage groups run several concepts across the Kingdom, often with different POS systems and suppliers per brand. The app maps every brand's items to one ingredient and packaging list, records expiry by batch and shows usage against sales, so the group can buy centrally while each brand keeps its own menu. Waste is recorded with a reason at each branch, so a region with high spoilage can be spotted and fixed before it shows up in the quarterly accounts.
Pharmacy chains face strict rules on batches, expiry and medicine tracking, and inspectors expect consistent records in every branch. We build branch stock control with those rules at its core, and plan any connection to SFDA systems with your pharmacists in charge, since the regulatory detail must come from them.
We confirm regulatory scope with your compliance team before design.
Distributors supplying grocery stores, pharmacies or hardware shops across many cities hold stock at branch sales counters, on vans and at customer shops on consignment. The app tracks each of those locations and what every customer holds on consignment, so invoices and stock always match. Sales representatives can count a customer's shelf during a visit and raise a top up order on the spot, which reaches the regional buyer in minutes rather than at the end of the week.
How we work together
Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Workshops and branch visits happen in person in Riyadh; discovery and reviews for other Saudi cities run by video call. Most national operators start with a fixed scope pilot for one region, move to a retainer during rollout, and some take a dedicated team for a longer programme that also covers supplier portals or ERP links. Every option comes with written scope, ownership terms and a named project lead.
For national programmes we also agree a governance rhythm early: who in each region signs off changes, how requests from branches reach the product backlog, and how often leadership sees progress. That stops the app being pulled in different directions by every regional manager at once.
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
We typically build branch apps in Flutter or React Native, head office dashboards on the web, and a cloud backend hosted in a Saudi region where you prefer data to stay in the Kingdom. Choices are made to fit your existing POS, ERP and IT team.

03Marketing and tracking
We plan for ZATCA, PDPL, NCA guidance and sector regulators from discovery.
The app keeps stock records aligned with your ZATCA integrated invoicing system, handles staff, supplier and customer contacts as personal data under the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA, and follows NCA guidance on access control and logging. Where your sector has its own regulator, such as SFDA for medicines and food, we agree the data the app must capture with your compliance team. Commercial registration details and branch licences from the Ministry of Commerce can also be stored against each location for audit purposes.
