Flikma is a Saudi software company serving freight forwarders and 3PLs across the GCC. We exist because the software on the market was written by accountants, and freight forwarding is not an accounting problem.
The team behind Flikma came out of the forwarding industry. Not from enterprise software, not from a bank — from freight offices in Riyadh and Dubai, watching operations staff spend their days copying data between a quoting spreadsheet, a carrier portal and an accounting package that had never heard of a bill of lading.
The insight was simple and slightly uncomfortable: the bottleneck in freight forwarding is not the trucks, the ships or the planes. It is the paperwork, and specifically the act of a human being transcribing a document that already exists in a perfectly legible form.
So we built the system around the shipment instead of around the ledger, and we made document interpretation a first-class capability rather than an experimental feature. Saudi Arabia made the timing right — ZATCA Phase 2 arrived and turned compliance from a spreadsheet exercise into a hard requirement that every forwarder had to meet.
Today Flikma runs freight operations and finance for logistics companies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Jordan. We are still deliberately a logistics product, and we are still allergic to features our customers do not need.
Forwarders in the GCC running three systems that did not talk to each other, and staff retyping carrier invoices at the end of every week.
A freight ERP with the job file at the centre — enquiry, quotation, job, bill of lading, invoice, collection — and a real double-entry ledger behind it.
Not bolted on — built into the invoice pipeline with UBL 2.1 signing, QR stamping and real-time clearance. Included on every plan, including free.
Document scanning and AI expense capture shipped — removing the transcription step that started all of this.
Live across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Jordan — and still a logistics product, still deliberately without a warehouse module.
Saudi Vision 2030 is not a slogan our customers have to be sold on. It is the context they already operate in: electronic invoices mandated by ZATCA, electronic customs declarations, a logistics sector being formalised and expanded, and a Vision 2030 ambition to make the Kingdom a regional logistics hub.
Software is infrastructure. If the paperwork is slow, the trade is slow. Our mission is to make the administrative layer of GCC logistics fast, accurate and invisible — so the freight itself can move.
Supporting the Kingdom's shift to mandatory electronic invoicing, with compliant clearance that is a by-product of normal operation rather than a separate project.
Positioned for fully electronic customs declarations, producing clean structured data from the job file rather than re-keying declarations by hand.
Built for the corridors that matter: Saudi–Bahrain, Saudi–UAE and the Red Sea → Gulf lanes, with multi-entity support across the region.
Enabling Saudi logistics SMEs to compete regionally on accuracy and speed rather than on manual effort.
These decide what we build, what we refuse to build, and how we handle your data.
A module we do not offer is cheaper than a broken one we do. We would rather tell you to buy a WMS than ship you warehouse logic we cannot support.
If your customers, your carriers and the customs counter all work in Arabic, the software has to. Bilingual is the baseline, not a localised edition.
A legal requirement should never be a paid upgrade. ZATCA Phase 2 is in the base product, and it will stay there.
AI reads and pre-fills. A person confirms before anything reaches the ledger. No automated posting to your books, ever.
We are a regional company serving a regional market. That means support during your business hours, in your language, by people who understand a bill of lading.
