Services · Mobile app development · Self-storage apps
Codeeo delivers self-storage booking app development in Saudi Arabia for operators that want one platform across the Kingdom. Customers find a site in any city you serve, verify themselves through Nafath, sign an Arabic agreement, pay with mada or SADAD and receive invoices that meet ZATCA requirements. Head office sees every location, every unit and every account from a single dashboard.
Self-storage in the Kingdom is still forming, with demand gathered mainly in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province. Operators who build the right national systems early can add each new city without rebuilding their booking, billing or compliance setup. That shared foundation also keeps customer records, invoices and reports consistent from one region to the next.

What the platform can include
A storage brand that operates in several Saudi cities meets the same national requirements everywhere. Personal data falls under the Personal Data Protection Law, supervised by SDAIA. Invoices must follow ZATCA's e-invoicing rules. Payments run through providers licensed by SAMA, and customers expect mada, Apple Pay, STC Bank and, for bills, SADAD. Identity checks are increasingly done through Nafath rather than paper copies.
Vision 2030 has placed logistics and housing high on the national agenda, and storage sits between the two: families moving into new developments, small online sellers needing space close to customers, and businesses outsourcing stock they used to keep in offices. A platform designed for the whole Kingdom is ready for that demand as it reaches each city. Getting these right once, in a shared core, is what makes expansion cheap. City specific features such as valet collection in one market or business bays in another then sit on top as modules, switched on where they make sense. The capabilities below are the shared core we build for operators with national plans, followed by the controls head office uses to run several cities at once.
Customers choose a city, see the sites there on a map with opening hours and unit types, and compare availability. A customer moving from Jeddah to Riyadh can end one tenancy and start another inside the same account. Sites can be hidden until they open. Deposits can transfer with the customer.
One brand presence instead of separate apps per city.
Individuals confirm identity through Nafath before signing, and company customers add their commercial registration details. The verified identity is stored once and reused for every future booking in any city. Expired identities prompt a fresh check.
Consistent identity checks at every site without paperwork.
Customers enter their Saudi national address code and the app completes the full address for agreements, invoices and collection bookings. Fewer typing mistakes mean fewer failed pickups and returned letters. The same code works for collection routes.
Clean address data across the whole customer base.
Recurring rent, deposits, collections and credit notes are issued as e-invoices through your accounting system or an approved provider, with the QR codes and reporting that the integration phase of Fatoora requires. Credit notes follow the same path.
Large volumes of small recurring invoices handled without manual work.
mada cards, Apple Pay and STC Bank for individuals, SADAD and bank transfer for companies, all through a SAMA licensed gateway. Saved payment methods support monthly renewals and automatic retries when a card fails. Failed payments are listed for staff follow up.
Customers pay with the methods they already use daily.
The app records consent for each purpose, shows a clear privacy notice in Arabic and English, and lets customers request a copy or correction of their data. Staff access is limited by role and logged. Retention periods are set per data type.
A data protection setup you can show to auditors.
Agreements, renewal dates and reminders can show both calendars, which matters for customers and companies that plan around the Hijri year, including the Ramadan and Hajj periods when moves and storage needs change. Customers pick which calendar they see first.
Fewer disputes over renewal dates.
Set rates, promotions and agreement templates centrally or per city, appoint regional managers who see only their sites, and approve exceptions such as long free periods from one place. Every change is logged with the name of the approver.
Brand consistency with room for local decisions.
Occupancy, enquiries, renewals and overdue accounts by city, site and unit type, with exports for finance. New cities appear in reporting the day their first site is added. Data can also feed your own BI tools.
Expansion choices based on how each city performs.
Valet collection with item photos, business bays for traders, smart lock access and van booking are built as modules. Each is enabled per site, so a small location does not inherit complexity from a large one. Modules can be trialled at one site first.
Local services added without touching the shared core.
Who this is for
The Saudi storage sector includes young valet start-ups, real estate groups adding storage to their portfolios, logistics firms with spare capacity, and international brands entering the Kingdom. Their national plans differ, but they share the need for Saudi specific identity, payment and invoicing systems that generic overseas software rarely includes. These are the four situations that bring operators to us most often. Some operators combine two of them, for instance a property group that also runs a logistics arm, and the platform can serve both from one core.
You launched in Riyadh, Jeddah or the Eastern Province and now plan the next city. Your current system was built for one location and is starting to strain. We move you to a multi-city core with per city settings, migrate existing customers and tenancies, and plan each new city as a release with its own launch date. Staff in the existing city keep working throughout, because the switchover happens overnight with their records intact.
The first city's data is migrated before the second goes live.
Property developers and owners sometimes set aside basement or ground floor space in residential and mixed use projects for storage. A shared app lets residents across your portfolio book space, while your property management team runs it alongside other services. Billing can sit with the service charge or separately, as your structure requires. Residents sign in with the same identity used for other building services where your systems allow it.
Billing can follow your property structure.
Software that works in other markets often lacks Arabic first screens, Nafath, mada, SADAD and Fatoora. We either build a Saudi platform that reports to your group systems or extend your existing product with Saudi modules, depending on how much control your local entity needs. Group reporting can still follow your global formats.
Data hosting is decided with your PDPL adviser early.
Firms with warehouse networks across several cities can offer storage to households and small businesses using space they already run. The platform connects to your warehouse management where possible, adds the consumer booking and billing layer, and keeps consumer customers separate from contract clients. Contract clients never see consumer bookings, and the reverse.
Existing warehouse systems stay in place.
How we work together
Our team in Riyadh can meet you in person for discovery and major reviews, while sites in other cities are supported by video call. National programmes often start with a fixed scope core and first city, then move to a dedicated team for the rollout. Smaller operators sometimes keep a monthly retainer instead and add one city at a time. Whichever model you pick, the release plan for each city, the people on the project and the review schedule are written down before work starts, and you can change model as the rollout progresses.
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 build on widely used, well documented technology so your platform can be maintained by us, your own developers or another team, with hosting arranged to meet your data protection and cybersecurity obligations. Architecture notes are shared at every release.

Data protection, e-invoicing and payment rules, at minimum.
The Personal Data Protection Law governs how customer data is collected, stored and transferred, under SDAIA's supervision. ZATCA's Fatoora rules govern invoices. Payments must go through providers licensed by SAMA. Depending on your hosting and customers, the National Cybersecurity Authority's controls may also apply. We plan for each of these during discovery, with your advisers confirming the details. Municipal licensing for each site, handled through Balady, and your commercial registration with the Ministry of Commerce sit outside the app, but the dashboard can store licence details and expiry dates per site so nothing lapses unnoticed as you add cities.
