Built for Saudi Hotels — Not Retrofitted for Them

Sutahi is built from the ground up to operate fully in Arabic — RTL UI, bilingual invoices, daily reports in Arabic. Not a left-to-right system with an Arabic toggle.

All Government Connections Built-In

ZATCA Phase 2 + NTMP + Shomoos + Nusuk — all four included. No external modules, no add-on fees, no third-party vendor required.

SAR Pricing, Zero Conversion Risk

Everything in Saudi Riyals. No currency risk, no dollar conversion fees, no invoice surprises from EUR/USD fluctuation. What you see is what you pay.

Riyadh-Based Support via WhatsApp

Our support team is in Riyadh. We respond via WhatsApp within minutes during Saudi business hours. Real understanding of local market needs and regulatory context.
