Services · Mobile app development · Subscription billing apps
We build subscription billing software for Jeddah businesses that serve the same customers week after week: water and meal plan companies, gyms and clubs, private schools, and the freight and logistics firms working around the port. Recurring plans, route deliveries, pauses, mada and Apple Pay renewals, ZATCA invoices and an Arabic first customer app sit in one system that you own and control.
Jeddah is the main gateway for Umrah visitors, but pilgrims stay briefly and rarely subscribe to anything. The recurring revenue in this city comes from residents, families and local businesses, so that is who these systems are designed around. Discovery and reviews run by video call with our Riyadh and Dubai teams.

What the system can include
Billing in Jeddah is often tied to something physical: a crate of water bottles on a Tuesday, a weekly meal box, a gym locker, a container moved through the port every month. That makes the billing system more than an invoice generator. It needs to know what was delivered or used, what the customer paused, which driver collected cash, and what a corporate client agreed in its contract. We build the parts below around those operational facts, so what the customer pays matches what actually happened. As a subscription billing software development company serving Jeddah remotely, we order the build with you so the leaks that cost you most today are closed first.
Plans defined by quantity and frequency, such as bottles per week or meals per day, tied to a delivery slot and a district. When a household in Al Rawdah or Obhur changes its slot, the driver route and the next invoice both update from the same change. Drivers see the updated slot on their route list the next morning.
Billing and dispatch work from one schedule.
Many Jeddah families travel during the long summer school holiday. Customers can skip a delivery, pause for set weeks or hold a membership from the app, under rules you control on notice period, frequency and whether the plan keeps its price. Paused customers stay on the books, so reports separate a holiday from a real cancellation.
Fewer cancellations from customers who only wanted a break.
Some customers still pay the driver in cash or by card on delivery. A driver app records each collection against the subscription, and the end of day reconciliation shows exactly what each driver should hand in at the depot. Shortfalls are flagged per driver and per day, so they are found within hours rather than weeks.
Cash on delivery stops leaking between the van and the office.
After a customer has paid on delivery a few times, the app invites them to save a mada card or Apple Pay for automatic renewal through your gateway. The consent screen states clearly what will be charged and when, so nobody is surprised.
A steady shift from cash to automatic payment.
For customers who rarely open the app, renewal reminders and payment links go out by WhatsApp or SMS through an approved business messaging provider, in Arabic or English according to the customer's saved preference. Each link expires after payment, so customers cannot pay the same renewal twice.
Renewals paid from the channel customers already read.
Freight forwarders, clearing agents and warehouse operators near Jeddah Islamic Port often charge a monthly retainer plus per shipment, per pallet or per day storage fees. The system rates those usage records against each client's contract and produces one consolidated invoice with supporting detail. Clients see each shipment behind a charge without asking your accounts team for backup.
Complex B2B invoices built from data, not from a spreadsheet.
Clubs, gyms and schools bill one payer for several members: a parent for three children, or an employer for a team. Each member keeps their own access and history, while the payer receives one statement and one renewal. When a child leaves a school or an employee leaves a company, the payer's next invoice adjusts automatically.
Group accounts without duplicate profiles.
Simplified tax invoices for households and standard invoices for business clients, each with Arabic content and the required QR code, generated and sent to Fatoora through the correct flow for its type. Simplified invoices for households are reported to ZATCA within the required window after issue.
The same system bills a family and a shipping company correctly.
Active subscribers by district, deliveries due tomorrow, failed payments, paused accounts and revenue by plan, on one screen for managers, with exports ready for the finance team. Area managers can be limited to the districts they run.
Managers see tomorrow's work and this month's revenue together.
Offices, clinics and building managers in districts such as Al Andalus and Al Zahra order water, coffee supplies or staff meals on standing orders. Each account gets monthly invoicing on credit terms, several delivery points and a purchase order reference, while households on the same routes keep paying by card or cash. Large accounts can hold several delivery addresses, each with its own schedule.
Business and household customers share routes but not billing rules.
Who this is for
Few companies in Jeddah describe themselves as subscription businesses, yet many bill the same customers on a cycle. The four starting points below cover most of what we expect to hear from the city, from household delivery in the northern districts to logistics firms on the port side. If your situation sits between two of them, that is normal, and discovery is where we settle the right shape. Unlike the capital, the city's subscription demand is shaped by households, coastal districts and port trade rather than by software buyers.
Orders arrive by phone and WhatsApp, drivers carry printed lists, and someone in the office matches payments late at night. We replace that with a customer app, a driver app and a billing core sharing one schedule, then move existing customers across district by district so deliveries never stop during the switch. The office team gets a dashboard showing who owes what by district each morning.
Moving one area at a time keeps the risk small.
Memberships, class packs, freezes and family plans are sold at the desk and online, and renewals depend on staff remembering to call. We build member billing with automatic renewal, a front desk app and clear freeze rules, so the club spends less time chasing payments and more time on its members. Corporate memberships paid by employers along Tahlia Street or in the business towers can be invoiced monthly in one batch.
Your invoices combine a fixed retainer with variable charges from the operations system, and building them takes days at each month end. We connect to the shipment or warehouse records you already keep, rate them against each contract, and produce invoices that clients can check line by line. Supporting schedules are attached to each invoice so shipping clients approve them faster.
We work with the operations system you have rather than replacing it.
Fees are billed by term or by month, with sibling discounts, instalment plans and separate charges for transport or activities. Parents want one place to see what is due and to pay it. We build a parent portal and fee billing that follow your academic calendar and your discount policy. Reminders before each term go out in Arabic and English, and late fees follow the policy you set.
How we work together
We do not have an office in Jeddah. Our subscription billing software developers for Jeddah projects sit in Riyadh and Dubai, so discovery, design reviews and sprint demos run by video call, and working builds are shared for you to test between meetings. A typical start is a fixed scope first release covering the customer app, billing core and one payment route. A monthly retainer follows for new plans and changes, and companies rolling out across several cities can take a dedicated team instead. Each stage ends with a recorded demo so managers who missed the call can catch up.
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
Flutter or React Native for customer and driver apps, a Laravel or Node.js billing core on PostgreSQL, and connections to your gateway, messaging provider and accounting system through their published APIs.

Usually, once manual billing starts losing money or customers.
The warning signs are missed renewals, driver cash that does not match the books, customers who cancel because pausing was too hard, and staff hours spent building invoices at month end. A custom system earns its place by fixing those leaks. If your volumes are still small, we will tell you so and suggest a simpler setup to begin with. We also look at whether your current drivers and staff can adopt the new apps without a long training period.
