Platform Features

Nine modules. One thread through the shipment.

Flikma covers the entire freight forwarding operation — from the first customer enquiry to the ZATCA-cleared invoice and the collected riyal — with AI handling the paperwork in between.

Connect with Your Existing Systems

Flikma integrates with the government portals, ERPs, and business tools used across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC. Nothing gets re-keyed, and nothing falls between two systems.

ZATCA Fatoora
Saudi Arabia · E-invoicing

Native e-invoicing against the Fatoora gateway. Invoices are built from the job, signed, stamped and submitted without leaving Flikma — and the clearance result is stored on the document for good.

  • Phase 2 onboarding: CSR, compliance CSID, test sweep, production CSID
  • UBL 2.1 XML with ECDSA/CAdES signing and XAdES signed properties
  • Mandatory buyer-side QR generated on every invoice
  • Real-time clearance and deferred reporting, with full submission history
Fasah
Saudi Arabia · Food safety

For forwarders moving food, health and pharmaceutical cargo. Shipment records, documents and handling records are pushed to Fasah from the job, so compliance evidence is produced as the shipment moves rather than reconstructed at audit.

  • Compliance records created from the shipment, not typed in a second system
  • Temperature and handling logs attached to the same job record
  • Document status tracked on the job so gaps surface before an inspection
JoFotara
Jordan · Tax e-invoicing

Run a Jordanian entity from the same login as your Saudi operations. Invoices are built, signed and submitted against Jordan’s tax e-invoicing platform without anyone re-keying them into a second system.

  • Jordanian invoices generated from the same job as the Saudi ones
  • Cross-border currency and customer records handled per entity
  • Consolidated reporting across your Saudi and Jordan operations

Running an ERP, a bank portal or a custom system alongside Flikma? We publish a REST API and webhooks, and our team will map your existing feeds during implementation. Tell us what you run and we will tell you honestly what connects today.

CRM & Parties

Customers, prospects and suppliers, each with a full trading history — every quotation sent, every job run, every invoice and every riyal they still owe you.

  • Customer & prospect records with credit limits, currency, VAT number and billing branch
  • Supplier and carrier directory with per-lane rates and payment terms
  • Balance and statement views per customer and supplier, aged in buckets
  • CSV import for existing customer and supplier lists
  • Business type detection — registered vs. unregistered drives the ZATCA invoice type automatically

Freight Operations

Air, sea and road in one job file. Milestones, containers, packages and charges all hang off the job, so an operations coordinator never has to ask which spreadsheet is current.

  • Multi-leg shipments — POL, POD, place of receipt, final destination and every transhipment leg
  • Container, package and batch tracking with dimensions, weight and seal numbers
  • Full Incoterms support (2020) with duty and tax responsibility flags
  • Milestone dates — ETD, ETA, ATD, ATA, pickup, delivery — with overdue highlighting
  • Parties on the job — shipper, consignee, notify party and agent, carried straight to the B/L
  • Job profitability — buy rates, sell rates and margin visible per leg while the job is live

Bills of Lading

Airway bills, sea waybills and road waybills generated from the job, printed to carrier specification, with house and master documents tracked separately.

  • Airway bills for air freight, including house and master AWB numbers
  • Sea waybills with container details, seals and voyage information
  • Road waybills for cross-border GCC road freight
  • Multiple print formats matched to what each carrier and customs authority accepts
  • Bilingual output — English and Arabic on the same document
  • Clearance status tracking so you know exactly which document is still outstanding

Billing & Finance

The money side of forwarding. Every document family a forwarding office needs, all posting to a real double-entry ledger you can actually audit.

  • Proforma invoices for advances and deposit billing before the cargo moves
  • Customer invoices and supplier invoices with full line-item breakdown
  • Payments and collections recorded against invoices, with multi-invoice application
  • Credit and debit notes raised through the ZATCA compliant pipeline
  • Journal vouchers, assets and opening balances for the accountant who needs them
  • Period closing that locks a period once it is posted, with full audit history

AI Expense Capture

The fuel receipt, the courier fee, the customs agent's invoice and the office coffee. Photograph it — Flikma reads the vendor, the VAT and the amount, suggests the expense head, and files the image against the entry.

  • Photo-to-entry — snap a receipt and get a structured expense record
  • Vendor auto-match against your supplier list, with a flag for anything new
  • Expense head suggestion based on vendor, amount and job reference
  • Job allocation — charge the expense straight to the shipment it belongs to
  • VAT extracted and separated so your input tax return is already built
  • Approval trail — who submitted, who approved, and when

  • Header and line-item extraction — invoice number, dates, supplier, totals, VAT number
  • Multi-engine OCR across Google Vision, OCR Space and Tesseract, picking whichever reads the document best
  • LLM structuring with your own supplier and description lists supplied as context

ZATCA Phase 2 & Fatoora

Onboarding, signing, clearance and reporting — implemented natively rather than bolted on, so the compliant path is the default path.

  • EGS onboarding: CSR generation, compliance CSID, test sweep, then production CSID
  • Tax invoice for VAT-registered buyers, simplified invoice for everyone else — chosen automatically
  • UBL 2.1 XML with ECDSA/CAdES signing and XAdES signed properties
  • Mandatory QR code generation for buyer-side validation
  • Real-time clearance and deferred reporting, with full submission history per invoice
  • Logistics registered as the EGS branch industry

Phase 2 compliant · Included on every plan

Payroll & Attendance

Your office staff are part of the cost of moving freight. Flikma runs their attendance and salary, and posts the result to the ledger so the P&L is honest.

  • Monthly salary processing with basic salary structures and allowances
  • Attendance calendar for the whole office, per employee
  • Employee loans and advances with automatic deduction schedules
  • WPS-ready export for Saudi wage protection and equivalent GCC payroll files
  • Posted to the ledger — payroll shows up in the trial balance, not in a separate system

  • General ledger with full drill-down to the source document
  • Input tax, output tax and tax summary prepared for the ZATCA return
  • Customer and supplier aging and statements, plus activity and balance summaries

Questions forwarders ask us first

It is included on every plan, including the free Starter plan. ZATCA compliance is not a premium tier in Flikma — if the software issues a Saudi invoice, it issues a compliant one.

Flikma is a logistics and freight forwarding ERP, covering the complete operation from enquiry through job execution, documents, billing and ZATCA-compliant invoicing. If you also run a warehouse, we integrate with the system you already have.

Very good on clean digital PDFs and decent phone photos, which covers the large majority of supplier bills. On poor scans or heavy handwriting it will ask you to confirm rather than guess. Every field is reviewable before anything is posted to your ledger — the AI never posts to the books on its own.

Yes. Growth and above support multiple companies and branches with separate VAT registrations, separate ledgers and consolidated group reporting. This is common for groups operating in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Jordan simultaneously.

A single-branch forwarder moving off spreadsheets is typically live in two to three weeks. Multi-entity groups with data migration usually take four to six. See our Services page for the full onboarding process.
