Saudi at the core
Instead of localizing a foreign product, we build from Riyadh for the market rhythm here. Arabic first, Saudi Riyal native, Hijri in the product core.
Kafu is a Saudi technology company that launched out of Riyadh in 2017, building Arabic-native business platforms for the KSA + GCC market.

In 2017 we noticed Saudi businesses were stuck with translated tools designed for other markets. Numbers in English, dates in Gregorian, invoices that did not understand ZATCA, AI that did not understand the user’s dialect.
We chose to build from scratch instead of patching. Products built in Riyadh, AI trained on Saudi and Gulf content, and ZATCA invoices from day one.
Today, the Kafu family includes: Kafu Survey (2021), Business Engine, Sada Marketing, and Kafu PMO for government and large enterprise. One fabric, one shared memory, one Saudi-native AI.
Instead of localizing a foreign product, we build from Riyadh for the market rhythm here. Arabic first, Saudi Riyal native, Hijri in the product core.
Our AI suggests, drafts, and prevents mistakes — but the decision stays with the human. No blind automation, no annoying assistant UI.
ZATCA e-invoicing, PDPL personal-data protection, KSA data residency — all built into the product, not features the buyer has to ask for later.
We treat KSA’s digital transformation as a responsibility, not a wave. Every team at Kafu is Saudi-rooted, understands their market, and builds for it.
